All summer long, I’ve beaten myself up about not planting hops. I had previously posted a quick primer on hops vines that got me to thinking about planting some in the garden. And I didn’t. I had already planted three clematis vines, only one of which has taken off, leaving my garden with [...]
As some of you may have guessed, I like beer. In fact, I love beer. And beer is a beverage often associated with summer.
Unfortunately, summer is the one time of year I have difficulty picking a beer. I know, I know, there are beers which are well suited to warm weather just as there are [...]
You may have noticed that a lot of photos on this site come from Wikipedia. Now, Wikipedia is a great resource, and I’m happy to have it, but I thought it was time to start providing some of our own photos.
To that end, check out the brewha-ha flickr site. It’s clearly a work in progress, [...]
If you’re up in the Northwest (or have frequent flyer miles to burn), the Portland International Beerfest looks like the real deal - 140 different beers, a beer garden, and an impressive international showing. I may have to put this one on the calendar for next year. If you go, let us know how it [...]

The US may well be losing its hold on the beer manufacturing market, but other countries are stepping up.
A study commissioned by German hop trader Joh Barth and Sohn has found that China, which had already found itself atop the list of the world’s top beer-producing countries, [...]
As promised, here’s a list of my favorite imported summer beers. Since they are mostly lagers, it also shouldn’t be surprising that many of them are from Germany.
1. Augustiner Edelstoff (The best of the Munich lagers)
2. Spaten Helles (a good Munich lager which is more readily available in the US)
3. Gaffel Kölsch (it’s an ale, [...]
The news of the acquisition of Anheuser-Busch by InBev is all over the blogosphere. I’ve mostly been thinking about the beer side of things. Over at Doing Biz Abroad, Jean offers some insight into the business side of things - check it out.

With the acquisition of Anheuser-Busch by Belgian brewer InBev now a certainty, it leads to another question… Who will step in as the largest brewery in the US? The answer is somewhat surprising.
Do you know the new pecking order? Quick, name the three largest American-owned breweries after A-B becomes (gulp) Belgian!
The answer [...]
My relatives joke that you can always tell that someone was raised in the South when you hear them use “barbecue” as a verb. Barbecues - and barbecuing - is just that important to us. And no season is better for barbecue than summer!
