In the News!
The Festival of Lights starts on Tuesday. To all my Jewish
friends and readers I hope you have a very happy holiday season.
Beer lovers celebrate, it’s National Growler Day! (eatdrinkexplore.com)
How did I miss this?! Well mark your calendars, we are doing
something for this next year, Dec 17, 2012.
Top Ten: Craft beer themes of 2011 (Washington Times) Pretty decent list of craft beer themes
for this past year, on a serious note it will be interesting to see how they
continue to trend. On a not so serious note, Fuck Yeah Beer!
Police Report: Stolen Beer; Thefts From Vehicles (Waukesha Patch) While Waukesha isn’t a small
town it still has some small town charm. Odds that the beer stolen at 12:36 AM
was Miller Lite? I’ve got three to one.
Now on Tap: Beer Chocolates and Candy Marketed to Men (ABC News) I have a ridiculous sweet
tooth so I would be game to try these. I think the best one is the stout
caramel bars….holy shit these are expensive! A good sixer of beer or a small
bag of candies? I think the decision is pretty self-evident.
Samuel Adams’ Single Batch series: 4 great beers in 22-ounce bottles (The Boston Globe) I spotted two of these today at my local Total Wine, I think I may have to go grab 8 for a special write up (4 to drink, 4 to
cellar)
Beer buys bubble over as the mercury rises (Herald Sun) I can’t say I’m too surprised we know our
Australian cousins love beer, but I would really like to see the American
version of this.
Jingle Beers
(London Free Press) A selection of recommendations for across the pond. Anything
that mentions Krampus is welcome in these links.
Beer makers wage turfwars over high-end consumers (Business Daily Africa) Someday there will be
a craft beer revolution in Africa but right now we have to content ourselves
with the premium beers of Heineken and Miller Genuine Draft. Ugh.
Fear the beer bill
(Daily Local News) My views on blue laws are pretty simple, get rid of
them. I understand the complaints, but it is monopoly breaking in a sense and
it brings Pennsylvania in line with a fair portion of the nation. It will be
better for consumers and the brewers.
How a Seattle brewery is using solar technology to brew beer (Geekwire) Yay for going green!
Investigation: Pubs underfilling pints of beer (The Mirror)
This is a goddamn atrocity!
On that note here is what will be happening hopefully around
the site this week. A small piece on cellaring tomorrow, a review of
Jewbelation on Wednesday, and on Thursday you can expect the last minute beer
gift guide just in time for last second gift buying this weekend.
We missed “Welcome to your weekend” this last weekend, but
it’ll be back in time for Christmas holiday.
As always you can find us on Twitter at: @beerfellows and
you can friend us on Untappd to see what we are drinking also under
beerfellows.
If you have thoughts, comments, or recommendations on the
blog let us know in the comments. As always thanks for stopping by and Happy Holidays!
