Some people like maltier English-style IPAs. Some prefer the more resiny and hoppy American-style IPAs. Personally, my favorite is the West Coast IPA.
To each their own, right?
The other day I opened up what I will refer to as an “old” IPA. It had lost most of its, once very pronounced, Pacific Northwest hop aroma and [...]
Beer festivals come in all shapes and sizes. From the huge like the Great American Beer Festival in Denver to the niche market like the Organic Brewers Festival in Portland, craft beer festivals are generally about the same thing: celebrating and enjoying great beer.
Saturday’s Beer Fest put on by the Florida Brewers Guild was no [...]
Cooking with beer has become a relatively new obsession of mine. As much as I hate “wasting” beer experimenting with recipes, when I stumble upon something “successful” it can be worth it.
My rule of thumb (as with most chefs), is that any recipe that calls for water is an easy opportunity to add more flavor. [...]
Bellingham, Wash., is a lovely city with two completely different brewpubs …
Two weeks ago I introduced you to some of Downtown St. Petersburg’s best beer-friendly spots. Today, we’ll venture to three more excellent restaurants with impressive beer lists.

Eugene, the larger of the two college towns, is home to the University of Oregon Ducks. Corvallis, a closer drive to Portland but a bit off the interstate, is home to the oft under-appreciated Oregon [...]
My sincere apologies to my fellow HopPress writers and my editor, Mario Rubio, for neglecting my HopPress column. There are reasons, but this is not the time or forum to discuss them.
But the good news is that I’m back.
Last week I had the opportunity to partake in 7 of the 10 days of San Francisco [...]
My HopPress colleague in Bend, Ore., Jon Abernathy, wrote up a fantastic advance post on Valentine’s Day weekend’s Zwickelmania, a statewide open house that most of Oregon’s breweries held last Saturday.
