It’s the 100th anniversary of the reception of the cherry blossom trees. Of course, thanks to the mildest winter in centuries the blooms are long, [...] [...]

A Beer Festival Goes Sour

Unfortunately, beer festivals have a less than 100-percent success rate. It appears that one unsuccessful festival recently took place in Austin, Texas. Attendees panned the March 31 Austin Beer Fest for an out-of-the-way venue that charged $10 for parking, long lines to get in, a poor selection of beer, problems with distributing drink tickets, and [...] [...]

Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA (2011)

This weekend, I hit up the Atlantic City Beer Festival. I had way too many brews to list and had a blast (see gratuitous picture below). I didn’t do many reviews while I was down there (honestly, the festival kinda shot my palate), but I did manage to have this brew at dinner. I have [...] [...]

Stora öl – små bryggerier

Jag önskar att jag kunde vara nere i Malmö den 20-21 april. Det låter som att det kommer bli en riktigt bra festival. Just detta med att bryggarna själva finns på plats gör ju allt mera intressant. ”Alla” finns med och ”ingen” saknas. Fle… [...]
