Savor this

So, apparently beer is trying to make it into the rarified air long occupied by wine and cognac. At least, that’s what the Washington Post would have you believe based on this article about the Savor event in Washington DC.
Frankly, although I’m not sure I’m ready to take my beer quite that seriously, it’s probably […]

The Great Welsh Beer and Cider Festival

One of my favorite cities in the world is Cardiff, Wales. It’s really lovely, the people are just wonderful and they make a good beer.
Check out this video of the Great Welsh Beer and Cider Festival:

American Craft Beer Week

Not sure how I missed this, but apparently it’s American Craft Beer Week, another one of those ceremonial weeks sanctioned by Congress (if you’re a law wonk, check out the actual bill as a pdf here).
If you read the recitals to that law, you’d think craft brewers are heroes (I certainly do), which is […]

The list of breweries is quite interesting with some local brews, a surprising number of European and international brands, […]

For the first time in more than a decade, an Azalea Festival-sponsored beer garden will be a part of the festival. Beer, wine and karaoke will be available under […]
