I don’t know about you, but I’ve had just about enough of faceless government functionaries having WAAAAAY too much influence over our lives. News is filtering down that the European Union aka EU is trying to influence the way North Americans drink. The EU has sent a cease and desist notice to the Brewers Associations of the US and [...] [...]
Apparently, the letter A is quite expensive. In short, a person visited a local brewery in San Diego and felt the sampling (beer) he was consuming might poison him. Now, ALL breweries in San Diego and I’m sure the rest of California are now having t… [...]
We sit down with Seamus O'Hara again at the Irish Pub to talk to him about a couple of his beers – in particular, his Irish Red, and his Irish Stout. Both are brewed in a very traditional sense with a nod to the Irish market, and the beers end … [...]

It’s a valid question. Why dedicate an entire blog to talking about beer? And I’m not the only one out there. Far from it, I’m one of the small fish. Head over to http://drinkwiththewench.com and you will see that Ashley there has a whole interview series on beer bloggers. Several of them have been in [...] [...]

Our April ride will not technically be in April, but it will be awesome nonetheless. We’ll be riding out to the Sly Fox Goat Race and Bock Fest. This event is one of a kind, and not to be missed. It will be a longer rider, about 30 miles each way. But there will be [...] [...]
I spend a decent amount of time ridiculing what I call “beer douches.” I even did a series of beer douche comic strips. Most people are amused by my anti-douche crusade, but some feel I take it too far. They say that I shouldn’t be so harsh on people for appreciating subtleties in beer. To [...] [...]
Well, enough of the “Fritz,” the pioneer of craft brewing. The investment and consulting company, The Griffin Group, has purchased the 70-man San Francisco operation. Of course, when he purchased the faded brewery in 1965 with the kind of … [...]

As I was perusing the Internet today I came across this post http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/04/26/BUOD1D55P1.DTL . If you don’t feel like following the link it basically says that Fritz Maytag has sold Anchor Brewing to a pair of investors that want to preserve the brand yet expand its market share. Is this possible can you preserve a brand [...] [...]

Nightmares from my notebook
I keep a notebook for writing beernotes for the bottles I drink at home. Not all the beers I drink are good. Hereare some of the outtakes...
“...sugary sweetness, little chocolate,cigarette ash. Like weak, shit coffee with too much sugar.”
“Minty, herby but a little like damptowels. Slightly odd, sicky, damp taste. Sweetness but it’s sugary. Floral,lemony, bit cheesy?”
“Light struck. Caramel, ice cream.Shockingly sweet then a woody dryness to it, a lasting mismatched finish ofsweetness and dry/bitter/oak/whisky. It’s not very nice.”
“Cheesy yogurt aroma. Little butter,little burnt, little dry at the end. Lifeless.”
“Blackberries, like fruit pastillesweets. Lasting roasted bitterness and dry hops. Little funky sourness? Or justblackcurranty hops? Port-like, winey, barnyard, like odd, cheap red wine.Something isn’t right.”
I won’t ask for guesses (one might be recogniseable) but I’m sure you’veall had a few bad beers this year to go alongside the good ones. Do you sufferthrough them or chuck them in the drain? I’m a thrower. [...] Read more →

Quick Review: Brooklyn – Black Chocolate Stout
There really is one reason why I decided to pull out this bottle to review. I missed out on Brooklyn’s release of Black Ops. Now Black Ops really isn’t mentioned on the Brooklyn site, but if you check their blog, you’ll find some mention of it. My friend over at Rick’s (my local beer store) [...] [...] Read more →
