It is hot out here in Virginia today, a teaser of the sweltering
summer that is right around the corner. To prepare I drank the remaining bottle
of last year's Shiner Ruby Redbird which by coincidence is back
on the shelf at the local supermarket.

one!

UPDATE:
AB InBev Pays $1.24B For Control Of Dominica's CND (Wall Street Journal) CND is Cerveceria Nacional Dominicana. If you have been hanging around here for awhile this is not
a surprise.
A
clear favorite for beer: Beer can come in many packages (Rochester Democrat
and Chronicle) Sometimes I daydream at my
desk what will be the next revolutionary beer container...

up and coming in Georgia.
Local

So I was traveling last week and doing lots of home maintenance so our NCAA beer tourney winner slipped through the cracks. I'll solve that tomorrow. On Wednesday we look at more Belgian style brews, maybe Wits or Dubbels, depends how I feel when I wake up that morning. In the latter part of the week you can expect some scintillating counterpoint to Brian's take on what a Belgian beer is. There is also a rumor that we may record episode 9 this week of the Beercast so stick with us!
As always go to the widgets in the top right
corner to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Google +, and Untappd. Got something
