The Lager Bloggers!: Selling Budweiser in a Craft... →
drinkipa:
Now i normally don’t reblog something but this is a must. Sounds like the they have these people pretty well brain washed… here are two lines that stand out to me but you should read the whole post. “I am merely trying to emphasize the importance of my job, selling Budweiser—as well as the rest of the beers in AB InBev’s impressive portfolio” this was her response to the “craft beer...

A Couple Notes:
1) Our story on Anchor Brewing Company (Specifically the brewmaster, Mark Carpenter) goes up on Wednesday. Would love it if you checked it out, we think it came out looking quite nice
2) We plan on making changes to the main page. With the diversity of content we have now and the large number of already existing reviews, we realize the need to organize everything better and make the content more...

Did you notice that FDR is talking to an elf in the other chair? You only see the legs, but there’s the telltale green shoes and striped stockings.
I did not! I was clearly too distracted by both FDR and the beer itself, but that’s amazing. The group that does 21st Amendment’s labels is...

Some of My Favorite Posts
In further honor of Whosisbrew’s birthday, I would like to share a couple of my favorite posts from the past year, in celebration of the purest form of vanity. And because I have nothing better to do.
The Budweiser Review
Easily one of my all-time favorites because of how clearly inexperienced I was with beer at the time. I screwed up a few things about barley and rice, and provided a much...

i-met-her-in-a-record-store replied to your photo: THE SCORE IS GONE I’m officially removing the…
damn, I actually like the scores. I tried a Dogfish Head Punkin Ale for my birthday and I didn’t really like it. It seemed syrupy but tonight I’m trying left hand milk stout. Hopefully I’ll enjoy it. =)
I totally understand why one would find the score enjoyable and helpful, but the more...

Also, a question.
I have three commentary posts lined up for the near future, but I’m unsure of which one to put up tomorrow. I’m giving you the opportunity to help me decide. Tomorrow, do you want to read a commentary on:
1) Beer styles and how I feel they’re becoming too rigid and yielding drinkers with some unfriendly tasting priorities.
2) A few things I don’t like about Beeradvocate

Social Media Things
I should mention that Whosisbrew is on Facebook and Twitter, here:
1) Go here to “Like” me on Facebook if you “Like” what you’re reading.
2) Go here to “follow” me on Twitter if you would like to “follow” what I’m writing.
So there you are.
thewarsugar asked: I don't know if you can get it, but I recently tried 077xx Double IPA from Carton Brewery in Atlantic Highlands, if you do happen to run across it would you do a review? It's the most interesting double IPA I've ever had, no crazy punch-to-the-face hopping I get from most Doubles..

Holiday Beer Week
Starts tomorrow. Now, as a result of my busy schedule these days and some of the other things I’m cooking up for Whosisbrew, it won’t be the same seven-day extravaganza that “Pumpkin Week” and “IPA Week” were. But I’ll throw four, maybe five holiday beers in there to give you a quick idea of what’s on the shelves this holiday season. There’s...

Ok, I’ll shut up now.

And I'm back from Ohio
Some Observations:
1) I completely forgot to post a review on Friday because I was so excited about my trip, so apologies there. To make up for it, I’m posting a video review tomorrow.
2) If you have the time, take a trip to Cleveland and survey the emerging beer scene. It’s wonderful. Great Lakes Brewing Company and Market Garden Brewery are separated by basically half a block,...
outlawlady asked: Seeing as its International Stout Day, what are you drinking to celebrate?
Holiday Beer Week
First week of December? How’s that sound to you guys? Was thinking middle of November, too, so that Thanksgiving isn’t left out.

planetplutonet asked: Cannot provide links here, so google "Vostok 4 Pines Stout" (via Universe Today). It's Space Beer! And remarkably something far removed from your Buzz LightBeers. On another note, enjoy Cleveland's Market Garden during your brief visit. Oh, it should be noted that due to production costs, the price for a six pack of Great Lakes Christmas Ale was raised a dollar, but despite...
conservativebrew asked: What is, in your opinion, the best mass produced beer? What would you say is the best craft beer? What is the best micro-brewery beer that you've ever sampled?
