Since the holiday season is very much upon us, we here at b5 are working together to provide you with a full menu for Christmas dinner. The menu itself is provided by Tracey at foodie obssessed, and Farley from Behind the Vines will match it with wines. Needless to say, I’ll be matching it with [...]
Earlier I alluded to our decorating style, and the convergence of that style (such as it is) with beer. Well, Christmas around here is a very beery holiday, and one of my favorite items is the beer coaster Christmas ornament.
A few years back, my then-girlfriend (and now wife) and I found ourselves short on cash [...]
As the year end approaches, some of you are no doubt beginning to think about the new year, and new directions. For those of you who are thinking in terms of a new career, entrepreneur magazine has this to say about the craft brewing business:

Ok, this is going to be the last gift post of the year, since if you don’t finish your Christmas shopping today you need to get off the computer and get to the store. Let’s face it, after today no one’s going to deliver anything you order in time for Christmas anyway, so it’s bricks [...]

Sick and tired of losing your beer at a party? I remember my wedding reception, which was held at Stoudt’s brewery in lovely Adamstown, PA. I’d get a beer from the bar, wander over to a table, the dance floor, or wherever, put it down, and my beer would be immediately surrounded by a host [...]
Sometimes when I’m shopping for beer I just grab something I know absolutely nothing about and hope for the best. It keeps me honest, and it ensures that I know what’s out there, even if I don’t like it in the end. Once in a while I discover a beer or brewery I really like [...]
To put you in the Christmas spirit, here’s a nifty Christmas tree. If you’re still looking to put something under it, The Friar of Hopfen and Malz fame recommends Global Beer for beer-related gifts. Another thought is to simply stop by your favorite local brewery or brewpub and shop the store there. Saves on postage [...]
Apparently I’m not the only one hoping to promote a healthy understanding of beer with my kids, as the good friar deomonstrates in this week’s Hopfen und Malz
Last week I continued my inter-generational quest to share my love of beer with my kids. In the course of visiting old friends we found ourselves in [...]
Remember those advent calendars you got as a kid (and which I have yet to buy for my kids this year, bad parent that I am)? The ones with twenty-four little doors, each of which hid a small toy or (more frequently) a piece of chocolate?
Well, the beer lover’s version is trying a new beer [...]
