Following up on Steve Koenemann’s recent Beers of Spring article (and the fact that I was biking around in a t-shirt last weekend), it seems an appropriate time to once again plunge into the murky depths of the Ratebeer database and emerge with a corresponding Top 10 Beers list. Here’s to the finest spring seasonals the world has to offer. [...]
For the amount of information readily available online regarding American hop varieties, characteristics, history, flavor profiles, etc., the vast majority of these resources are intended for homebrewers, not the curious drinker. Want to know what defines American hop culture? Hint: it isn’t found in the annual hop harvest numbers. Trying to find out what an American “C Hop” is? Say goodbye to an hour of your life. [...]
Perhaps you’ve already heard about Woodshop 5.0. Perhaps you’ve overheard a friend waxing philosophically about the event: wide-eyed, fidgeting, looking over your shoulder at something distant.

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. [...]
