Well this happened. Bonfire Brewing in Eagle Colorado has decided to name its American-style barleywine after everyone’s favorite good Christian boy, Tim Tebow. And that totally makes sense – name a high-ABV beer after a devout Christian who abstains from alcohol. Sure. Perfect sense.

Very Bad Elf English Ale Pretty Much Lives Up to Its Name
I know I’ve beaten this reindeer to death, but I like my holiday brews to taste like “Christmas” to me. Many of our readers disagree, saying that they can take only so many winter warmers until they get bored and long for holiday seasonals that break the mold a bit. While I could happily drink […]
Whole Foods Creates Craft Beer Twitter Tastings with The Beer Wench
Say what you will about the online antics of Ashley Rouston (A.K.A. The Beer Wench), but you can’t argue with her success or her work ethic – the girl is all hustle and knows how to play the game. She’s long been out front on the craft beer social media scene and has worked it […]
In Alaska, Beer is Survival!
In Alaska, sometimes weird things happen. Take for example the case of Clifton Vial, a guy from Nome Alaska. He was out driving one day, and suddenly found himself and his Toyota Tacoma pickup stuck about 40 miles north of Nome Alaska. For those of you not familiar with the wilds of Alaska 40 miles […]
Huge Research Breakthrough: Alcohol Fuels Unsafe Sex!
Hold onto your hats and try to stay with me here. A new (probably expensive) study is reporting that alcohol effects decision making, and a person’s level of risky sexual behavior INCREASES AS MORE ALCOHOL IS CONSUMED!! OMG!! They’ve finally cracked the code!! Up until now, I thought that it was just a coincidence that […]

Guess Which Brewer is Getting Their Own “Reality Show”?
Not long ago, Sam Calagione’s show Brew Masters was cancelled by the Discovery Channel (or as Sam says, it wasn’t renewed). The plot soon thickened when iconoclastic chef Anthony Bourdain tweeted that Brew Masters was killed by “Big Beer” who threatened to pull their ads off of Discovery and its sister networks if the show […]

Off Topic Video: Why Men and Women Cannot Be Friends
I recently stumbled across this video shot at the Utah State library, exploring the question of whether or not women and men can be “just friends.” In a nutshell the answer is “no,” mostly because guys always have their eyes on the prize, and the prize isn’t a gossip session over vanilla latte’s. Sorry ladies!

St Bernardus Abt 12: I May Have Found the Perfect Belgian Beer
It has been a couple of weeks now since our ungettables gathering in Boise at Brewforia, but there were so many great beers that I had a chance to try I may never get them all posted on this site. There were however a few standouts that I need to get up here, because they […]
5 Breweries That I Want to Love but Can’t
There are things in this world that some people love but are totally lost on me. In many cases, I’m totally okay with it. I don’t need to watch Modern Family, or read The Hunger Games books, or drink Kombucha tea to feel like I’m living a full life. In other cases, it kind of […]
Pop Singer Adele Turns Her Back on American Craft Beer
Thankfully, I have no idea who Adele is, but apparently she’s an important cog in the industrial macro music machine because she’s been nominated for six Grammy’s. They reserve these honors for industry insiders, not decent indie singers like Jenny Lewis or Leslie Feist or Chan Marshall, so I guess if Adele were a beer […]
It’s Snowing on the Blog!
Those white specs you see drifting across the screen aren’t eye floaters or Don rubbing his dandruffy beard atop the logo, they are digital snow, courtesy of WordPress. They give folks with WordPress-hosted blogs the option of turning on the snow when the holidays draw near. We had it on at the tail end of […]
Guess What’s My Favorite All-Around Beer of the Moment?
Here’s a hint… I was drinking a beer while watching a football game this weekend, and it struck me that it did everything pretty well. It had the big and malty flavor that I love this time of year, it’s heavy enough to feel substantial, but light enough to not bog me down. It also […]
