Can’t decide between the 180+ (and growing) San Francisco Beer Week events? Wish you knew more about different beer lists and special taps? Does the full SFBW schedule seem like both pornography and homework? Well, you’ve come to the right place. [...]
I’m going to San Francisco! I’ll be there for most of Beer Week (which Ken is covering in his post this week). I’m also heading up to Santa Rosa where I’ll stay while visiting Russian River, Bear Republic and Lagunitas, amongst other places. Right now I’m excited to the point of exploding. This post is [...]
I guess that I was not surprised to read this week that the Vermont Legislature had, again, taken up the volatile question of whether the legal drinking age should be changed from the current 21 years back to 18. The reason that I was not that surprised was that this highly polarizing issue has simmered (raged?) in the background of society, occasionally flaring up into the spotlight of the media, for many years.
I am a bit of a packrat personality: I tend to collect things and in recent years this has turned towards beer (go figure). When I’m buying beer (particularly specialty beer) I have an impulse toward buying extra to “put away”—to cellar the beer with the idea that it will change (hopefully for the better) [...]
It’s that time of year again – the Ratebeer Best has been released. Our annual compilation of ratings is always a hoot to read, and always seems to cause a little bit of controversy. Remember when Westvleteren was mad about getting hassled by the media when some website said they were the best [...]

Even in Dubai, I can have a Duvel, at the proper temperature, in a tulip glass, before my flight home. Granted, both Dubai and the [...]
A few weeks ago I talked about judging beer by it’s cover. I thought it would be fun to look at some labels that people suggested were really good or really bad. Or just plain ugly. Remember, this is a commentary on the label, not the beer.
Personally, I enjoy simplicity, most of the time. A [...]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I am not a fan of aging beer. So, why another vertical tasting article? I suppose you could say I’m… vertical-curious.
Wine country is known for being the home to many great breweries. Sonoma County is known for Russian River, Bear Republic and Lagunitas among others while Napa County is home to one of the father’s of California craft brewing, Don Barkley. Hidden along the Napa River in the town of Calistoga is an another example [...]
The first thing that went through my mind when I entered the Haywood Park Ballroom on Saturday, “Man, those are big taster glasses.” I immediately knew the Winter Warmer Festival was going to be a slightly different experience than what I had at the World Beer Festival the weekend before in Columbia.
After being handed an [...]
