Our deepest apologies for no post yesterday....

We were overcome by events, but Dan and I did get episode 4 of the JGF Beercast recorded. Welcome to Your Weekend will be up later this afternoon and you all get to look forward to riveting writing about beer cans in the early part of next week.

Beer links for the New Year!

This was the alternate for yesterday.
I still wanted to use it. 

Welcome to 2012, it's time for the weekly beer links!


In the news!
Beer bombshell: Guzzlers to dig deeper in their pockets.(Nyasa Times)

86¢ for the low end, $1.53 for the top. Sounds cheap, but the average yearly income is about $800 US dollars. It was a 40% markup from previous with no lead announcement by Carlsberg…Happy New Year. (As I have mentioned before I find the beer scene in Africa absolutely fascinating)

Double blow for drinkers as price of pint and peanuts riseby 10p (The Daily Mail)

Not only the beer but the peanuts too?! For those keeping score at home, 10 pence is the equivalent of 15¢ US. Average price for a pint in the UK is just shy of $5 US. Never forget beer is a commodities based beverage. Bad harvests = higher prices.

Beer-Ad Ban Hits Russia as Nation Boosts Sobriety (Advertising Age)

Good luck with that, for a country and culture so intertwined with alcohol, the ad ban won't do anything intentional. Unintentionally it will have some unplanned effects. 

Beer pong champs get ready to defend their title (stltoday.com)

Meanwhile in America…someday I really hope we do have a BeerFest. All the pieces are slowly starting to combine. 

Governors bet beer and more on Rose Bowl (KGW- News Channel 8)

Hey look! The Governor of Wisconsin is still boot-licking his corporate interest friends at MillerCoors…with all the fine craft brews that call Wisconsin home you would think Gov. Walker would send one of theirs, particularly when you’re going up against a craft beer juggernaut like Oregon. Capital Brewing is in Madison for Pete's sake! New Glarus is right down the road! Oh, I forgot, Walker hates the small brewer scene. /rant over.

Brewers keen to join craft club (New Zealand Herald)

The rise of craft beer in New Zealand. Take note of the definitions being tossed around because this will become more and more important in the upcoming fight.

The Beer Nut: It was a great year for beer (Milford Daily News)

Nice little recap of the 2011 Massachusetts beer scene. I’ve seen similar articles for places like Houston, Asheville, Sacramento, etc. The trend is the same though, craft beer continues to make its presence felt.

This app knows your tastes in beer (newsobservercom)

We’ve been playing around with Untappd, (Our review will be up this week) but I think I am going to add this to the phone also. We’ll let you know how it goes.

Men caught trying to steal beer for New Year’s party (Salt Lake Tribune)

It isn't beer links without an article about beer crime! There is so much going on in this article. The amount of beer, the number of people involved, how they knew and and of course the entry…at least they were honest on the why.

The Great Midwestern Beer Run in a Cadillac CTS-V Wagon (Motor Trend)

That is my kind of road test and my kind of a job. My brother and I may have to recreate this test in a car of more dubious distinction. (Car yet to be determined, suggestions welcome.)
