Beer News
Maybe we can use this thread to keep track of the goings on in the Beer world. Seems like everyday there is some tidbit of news that affects someone/somewhere who enjoys a cold one.
Great Divide Brewing Pulls Out of 4 States and 2 Regions: Quote:

Re: Beer News
I like the idea and that sucks that GD is pulling products from those states. I hope they don't pull more states from New England because I absolutely LOVE Yeti! :dr

Re: Beer News
One of my favorites.

Re: Beer News
I wonder if we are going to see more and more of this.
Some breweries seem to be handling it proactive though, like Cigar City. They have been approved for GA but are not going to ship until they can figure out demand issues in their current markets. |

Re: Beer News
It is definitly unusual to see a company pull out of an area because of to high a demand for product.

Re: Beer News
They must not have gotten very far into Michigan. I've never seen it anywhere.

Would you rather ship low quantities to 10 states and have it move quickly thus creating inadequate supply for the quantity demanded or supply only 5 states with an adequate supply in order to satisfy demand. :2 Either way it's disappointing for those states that are longer receiving GD products. **I was using arbitrary numbers just to make a case** |
Re: Beer News
Sure, that works... :tu

Re: Beer News
Not so much new about beer, but a cool offer from a brewery...
Southern Tier is giving away a free blue spruce with every 422 six pack purchase on earth day. 422 is a great lawnmower beer, and I like trees. Too bad I don't live closer to the brewery or I'd be knocking down an old fence and planting a row of blue spruces. |

That sucks that y'all lost DFH and Great Divide. Let me know if there is anything you are ever looking for (under 14% stupid GA) and I'll see what I can do. |

Speaking of DFH... Supposedly "Big Beer" killed the Brewmasters show threatening to pull ads.

I never had Great Divide, I don't think it was ever here so no loss there for me. DFH is probably my favorite brewery so that sucks. The liquor store said they were saving their last DFH brews for the regulars (obviously this includes me). Everyone else gets the "we don't have anymore". I'm still sure they will be out in the next few months, hopefully if I have some extra $$$ I can snag a case. Either way though very $hitty. Worst news I've heard in quite a bit. |

Re: Beer News
Not so much beer "news", as two excellent blog articles about craft brew labels:
First the good: http://aleheads.com/2011/04/07/labelmania/ then the bad & the ugly: http://aleheads.com/2011/04/14/label...-and-the-ugly/ Good reading, even if you don't agree with his ratings :tu |
Re: Beer News
For anyone who is interested, Sam Adams Utopia 2011 is out. I was lucky enough to snag a bottle on Thursday. I think that is the day it was released so it hasnt many stores yet.

Alabama to get Limited Release Cigar City beer
TAMPA BREWERY PAYS TRIBUTE TO MONTGOMERY AREA BAND On July 29, Tampa’s Cigar City Brewing will release Black Whole, A Multi-Dimensional Ale in honor of Montgomery-area band El Chupa Cobras. Only 144 cases of the beer will be sold in the U.S., and it will only be available in Tampa, in the Birmingham area and at El Rey Burrito Lounge, a longtime supporter of fine craft beers in Montgomery. About the beer Black Whole is a multi-dimensional ale that takes many twists and turns similar to our daily lives. It has a big chocolate expression with moderate caramel notes, complex toasted to biscuit notes and hints of clove and black licorice. Don your chocolate mask and discover the meaning of life as you sip this complex, dark beer. Black Whole is a tribute to El Chupa Cobras, a mathy indie band from Montgomery, Alabama. This effort came about from our realization that craft beer and indie music have a lot in common. Wayne Wambles, our head brewer, and Kenny Johnson, the front man for El Chupa Cobras, played in indie bands together many years ago and this tribute is for all indie music fans and craft beer lovers. http://burritolounge.com/Cigar_City_Black_Whole.html |
Re: Beer News
I thought this was a cool story. Chris Ray, relief pitcher for the Mariners, is also a homebrewer. He plans to open a craft brewery in Ashland, VA, named "Center of the Universe" (which is the town slogan, of sorts.) I was talking with a bartender at a local pub yesterday, and he pointed me to this story.
Chris Ray Brews One Up for Operation Homefront COTU brewing company, the future brewery of Mariners pitcher Chris Ray, has partnered with Fremont Brewery, a Seattle local brewery for a special occasion: a beer that will be sold for charity at Safeco Field. The beer? Homefront IPA. The proceeds will go to Operation Homefront, a non-profit organization that helps families of soldiers overseas. But this beer can't be sold without a baseball twist! Louisville slugger has graciously donated maple bats on which the beer will be aged. After the fermentation process is over, the bats will be pulled out, dried and signed by the Mariners players to be auctioned off. Chris has been a homebrewer for a few years now, trading recipes and talking shop with his brother Phil in Florida. Homebrewing started out as a project, says Chris. "I'm a project kind of person. I work with my hands to build something, and don't stop until it's done. Brewing beer allows me to repeat the process countless times by changing just one simple ingredient or all of them. It's a way to be creative where no one will judge you because if they do, no beer for them!" Chris is like a mad scientist in his basement, brewing up flavors like Sweet Potato Ale, Rootbeer IPA and Banana Hefferveisan. He shares his passion (and beers) with his brother Phil, who brews a variety of different IPAs, IBAs and Porters. Center of the Universe Brewing, his Virginia brewery, is a little ways from coming to fruition so Chris decided to partner with a local brewery in Seattle. Chris chose Fremont Brewing Company after a short question and answer session with one of the scorekeepers at Safeco Field (he happens to be the commissioner of the Brewers Association in Washington). "We set up a meeting and between trying their delicious beers and philosophy on brewing, I felt it matched up with COTU (short for Center of the Universe Brewing)", Chris explained. So now that he had the brewery to brew his beer, and a place to sell it (Safeco Field), he needed a charity to donate the proceeds to. After much talk, Chris and Matt Lincecum (owner of Fremont Brewing Company) decided on a military charity, which brought them to a short list of charities. "For the final cut, I asked a good friend of mine who is stationed in Afghanistan which one he thought was best. Operation Homefront won. I called the local branch and they were on board immediately. I consider our soldiers our family. They protect us, we should support them. If I can brew a giant batch of beer and as a result money is given to the charity, I can't think of anything cooler than that". The release of Homefront IPA will be on July 29th at Safeco Field. http://cotubrewing.com/COTU_Blog.html More on Operation Homefront: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Homefront |
