The two big beer festivals for Bend are just around the corner, and are nearly back-to-back: the Bend Brewfest is coming up this weekend, and The Little Woody is two weeks after that, on Labor Day weekend. Interesting how that worked out on timing; a little closer together and we almost could have had a [ ... ] ...

A discontinued beer. Great. It's not even listed by the brewery. Never made their blog ... oh, yes it did. Still, its departed. Yet there it is, cooling is the cistern. I picked this up in Ithaca because I had never seen on of their brews this far east and was please to see the price below ten bucks. No soak ... Well, that might explain it. Fountain! Lips clamped over the 750 ml bottle mouth, we do a dance until more toweling and the glass is found. Yet spurting into my gob, there is a very

I regretted the drive only when the alarm went off this morning. Adding 425 km and five hours driving to the gap between supper and sleep was not maybe the most intelligent thing to do mid-week but I sure was pleased with what I found. Broue Ha Ha is the newest addition to the private beer shop scene for eastern Ontario - none of which actually exist in eastern Ontario. I got a bit lost finding the place as its about ten miles or so to the east of downtown Ottawa but on the way home realized it

"...The Proposal Would Help Tourism To The Area"

You know, we say a lot of good things about beer and pubs. We like to think good things, too. Think that our little hobby, our habit is not something that should be a bother to others. Sure there is plenty of evidence to the contrary but this one little tale of one little pub just sticks with me: ... My property shares a wall with the proposed beer garden. I have serious concerns about the impact it would have on my quality of life and on my property day and night, particularly at weekends when

I didn't expect this to be my first Floridian beer but I guess it is. Andy Crouch in his soon to be published (review copy delivered yesterday) Great American Craft Beer calls it both "a flavor parade of spice" and a "spice bazaar" which gives me some pause. Can I handle it? ... It opens with a pop as the 2009 dated cork flies and lets loose with an appled gently funky wave of aroma. Golden ale under white froth and foam. In the mouth ... it is a spice parade. Lighter bodied and crisp with

Dear Craft Brewers: Get A Canning Line

Published Aug. 14, 2010 at 7:42 a.m.

Dear Rob Tod. I have realized that I don't think I really care about that corked 750 ml bottle after all: ... We have been doing cork-finished beers for a number of years and early on we wanted to come out with a lower-alcohol, pretty full-flavored but around 4.5%- to 5%-alcohol beer. It was called the Allagash Special. That was in a cork-finished 750 mL bottle and it didn’t sell in that package. It cost us a lot to make it and cost us a lot to package in that bottle, so we had to charge a lot

A fun way to spend the evening. Beau's had their quarterly business meetings in town and they all came over for a few hours of opening bottles - including the father, son and a sizable host. We nine started well with two saisons and biere de garde: Hennepin, Jack D'or and 3 Monts. Batch 10 from Pretty Things was much better than the more recent bacth 13. Lesson: let it sit ... Things got a little wobbly with three Quebec takes on Belgian white beer. We thought RJ's Coup de Grisou was fine and a

Ah, to be left with only the third best camera in the house. I hope the beer isn't third best. As you can guess, I doubt it will be. I like the idea of veracity and authenticity in ingredients. I prefer it to brewer as wizard or rock star or TV host. Hard to believe some might find brewer as TV to be a tad cheesy but there you have it. By contrast, in this case the brewery states "all Chatoe Rogue brews are all GYO Certified, First Growth, Appellation products made with hops and malt from our

We have a ten day stretch coming up hanging out with family at Cape Cod. This means snack shacks, maybe a brewpub or two and definitely beer shopping ... But this is largely unknown territory for us. We are northern New England travelers. A few years ago we tried to find Connecticut for a few days and had a horrible time of it, finding little accessible to the visitor. Surely, it was us and not the entire state. So, I need your help - where to go in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut
