A dilemma was afoot. It all involved a limited release beer and a price. It was announced last month that Firestone Walker was to release their latest batch of Parabola at the end of the month.

Brewed with monk fruit and soursop, this beer pours a brilliant blonde, with a fluffy, white head. Earthy and tropical tones carry the aroma and the taste follows accordingly. Rolle [...]

Heineken goes the Buddy Cup one better. They’re adding electronics modules to Heinie bottles to become part of the clubbing scene. Each such “smart bottle” can be illuminated by bright light, thanks to the technology of 3D-printing and the availability of a special compartment on the bottom for mounting electronic components, which include eight LEDs, [...]

Into the beer fridge it went for an overnight chill. Dark Lord Day 2013 was now an event of the past and there were more beers to [...]

The Alaskan Brewing Company is going green, but instead of looking to solar and wind energy, it has turned to a source all too familiar: beer. It purchased a $1.8 million furnace that burns the company’s spent grain and makes it fuel.

Boston Beer Company’s new can
May 1st, 2013 · No Comments · beer, news, video
Jim Koch goes into some of the design details of their new Boston Lager can. And it’s not shaped like a bowtie. Thankfully, it’s not one of those rip-off-the-lid types. Koch also knows about drinking from a can versus drinking from a glass.

It was the best of times, it was the best of times. Our entourage has finally returned home safely, a little achy and still a bit groggy from Dark Lord Day down in Munster. The weather turned out to be absolutely gorgeous with sunny clear skies, a nice breeze and temps in the low 70s. [...]
