For all of its fun and frivolity, the seasonal beers of summer are notoriously un-fun. Perhaps the activities of the season itself are so much fun that the beermakers of the world have concluded that really good beer is not necessary to enhance the bee… [...]
John Bryan with Firestone Walker was nice enough to bring some of the incredible 12th Anniversary along to share with me and the boys. I hear it’s trading for about $150 buck a pop so we were way thankful to get our lips on it. If you can get this beer DO IT! 234beerVeeple Interactive [...] [...]
I am catching up yet again. I had the pleasure of another classic wings and beer outing with a good buddy I hadn’t seen in a while (I know, this seems to be a theme. What can I say, I have two kids.) This time we visited the venerable Toronto wing joint Bistro on Avenue. [...] [...]

Ok, so a less than descriptive title, but it’s an honest one at least. Which do you want? Honesty or Comprehension? Both? Hmm, I’ll work on it. So on to the beer I’m looking into right now. Granville Island’s Raspberry Wheat Ale is by far the reddest beer I’ve ever had. At first that was [...] [...]
Still one of my favorite beers of all time, I picked up this Duvel coaster in Belgium as the dual Flemish/French tag line gives away. Roughly translated, “Shhh…here we serve ourselves Duvel.” It’s a play on the slogan on the outside of the Moor… [...]

An idea I had never considered: explosive growth in “craft” beer is unsustainable, and has probably already peaked (mostly because of value of shelf space conflicting with need for variety). Article by the “beersage” in 3 pa… [...]
