Yesterday we vowed to eat local and I vowed to drink local. As a result, we ate well, I drank functionally and we spent very little money. My meal of 5 pan fried pork dumplings and a bottle of Snow Beer (an insipid, ubiquitous pale lager) cost 12RMB or AUD$1.82. Snow Beer is even more [...] [...]

Here’s news on a great event that should be a showcase for cask lager, and is raising money for a good cause. Jack’s Abby Brewing of Framingham is teaming with The Tavern in Framingham for its first fundraiser to raise … [...]
Why? Because there is little good beer 4.5% and below to qualify under Lew’s rule and exactly zero as far as I can tell for the more strident Law of Ding. I did make an effort and got myself to the LCBO today and picked up a couple Mill Street Organic … [...]
I’ve just done my first grocery shop on-line! Dad, although seemingly recovered from his episode last Saturday, is struggling carting the heavier objects, such as my lager and his whisky around, so I’ve opened accounts at Tesco and Waitrose. The first … [...]
Tonight I had to make a beer run (Julio’s Liquors as usual). I ended up picking up a mixed six-pack of all local stuff – Blatant Brewing, Jack’s Abbey, and Peak Organic. They were all beers I was looking forward … Continue reading → [...]

I absolutely love the Schlenkerla Marzen, but I’ve always wanted to try this smoke-y, “unsmoked” lager. It’s just about the only beer they make that doesn’t have smoked malts in it, but since everything in that brewery is covered in the stuff, I’m expecting that this one bring a little bit of that flavor as [...] [...]

Two things jump out at me. The number 13.2% growth and the fact that this time next year, we could be looking at over 2,000 craft breweries. That is amazing. And all in a staggeringly short amount of time. But the future number that I am looking at is market share. With each large gain [...] [...]
Then don’t look at the trend line for craft beer growth–it’s as steep as a Himalayan mountain. From the annual Brewers Association report:Craft brewers saw volume rise 13 percent, with a 15 percent increase in retail sales from 2010 to 2011, represe… [...]
Airports. You know the feeling. Your plane is delayed, and there is nothing to do. The salami pizza has so little topping it could be labeled suitable for vegetarians. There is a choice of the local pale lager and Carlsberg at twice the price you pay d… [...]

I’m imagine David Cameron would have had more than five pints of lager on a night out with his Bullingdon Club friends while at university. Drinking more than five pints, by the way, is deemed ‘binge drinking.’ [...]
Jag har blivit övertygad om att East River Spring Lager från Sigtuna Brygghus är samma öl som deras East River Lager, en amerikansk amber/red lager på 5,2 % humlad med amerikansk Vanguard. Under det vanliga namnet drack jag den från fat sommaren … [...]
Ninkasi Brewing of Eugene, Oregon is using the tiny bit of room in their schedule and tanks to add a new line of beers by the name of Prismatic, focused on the world of lager. And the first of two for 2012 is out and goes by the name of Helles Belles… Sounds like it [...] [...]

Taking Beer Chances…
The standard beer pairings for shrimp vary depending on what kind of shrimp dish is on the plate, but generally speaking, one can be safe with hefeweizens, pilsners, saisons, belgian whites and--if sufficiently adventurous--an imperial white ale. Most sommeliers will recoil in horror if a patron does not order white wine with a fish dish, but who cares? Wine tasters spit out what they taste. No [...] Read more →
