Hops: My hops only produced a few cones, with the 60 plus days of 100+ temps it seemed to fool my hops into flowering too early, by the end of August the vines were already turning brown. The Willamette got to about 7 feet and the Nugget to about 3 0r … [...]

Nøgne Ø Underlig Jul
Jeg har hatt en forkjærlighet til Underlig Jul i flere år. Dette merkelige brygget som har så mange smaker og så mye kompleksitet! Det er veldig julekrydret og lukter bortimot som en nyåpnet eske med pepperkaker. Smakene inkluderer kanel, kardemomme, nellik, kanel og egentlig de fleste andre julekryddere, i tillegg til litt granbar, røkelse og [...] [...] Read more →

Beer In Ads #583: German Luxury Beer Becker
Wednesday’s ad is for a German pilsner, Becker, advertising in France. I have no idea when the ad is from, though 1970s is my guess based on the hat, the hair and the overt sexual overtones. It’s not exactly subtle. The ad copy, “Biè... [...] Read more →

Following on the heals of the controversial IPA day (August 4th, 2011), we now have an International Stout Day. No it’s not St. Patrick’s Day, it’s actually November 3rd, 2011. Some of the brewpubs in BC offer a fine stout, but if you’re looking for a locally-produced, widely-distributed stout, your options are a fairly slim. [...] [...] Read more →
