As many of you know, in just over four years, I’ve come to consider myself a New Yorker. I love people-watching in Greenwich Village, walking the Mall in Central Park and taking in many of the shows that Broadway has to offer. Great restaurants, the iconic skyline and the characters who inhabit this place are [...]
There has been a whole lot of digital ink spilled recently about how craft beer has changed in the last ten years. Both Ratebeer.com and Beeradvocate.com will be celebrating their ten-year anniversary this year and during that time we have seen massive amounts of change in the craft beer scene. From the rise of imperial [...]
So with all of this, why is it that brewers are seeing fit to charge ever-increasing prices for their new products?
One of the best books on brewing that I have come across is Randy Mosher’s “Radical Brewing“. Published in 2004, the book contains a plethora of information about historical beer styles, brewing technique and especially how to craft beers that either straddle the lines between known beer styles, or that use unusual adjuncts and flavourings [...]
This question is asked mostly with tongue planted firmly in cheek, because unless you don’t actually get out of bed in the morning, and have maintained that routine for a solid week, it’s been tough to miss what has transpired in the Pennsylvania beer world.

The quality of craft beer around the world continues to improve and the homebrewer’s penchant for experimentation is now firmly ensconced in the commercial craft beer industry. We see evidence of [...]
The Bronx. Even for folks who’ve never been there, the name evokes a very specific place. Named for a 17th century Dutch-employed Swede, Jonas Bronck, the borough that bears his name is the home of the New York Yankees, a major incubator for Hip-Hop music and has seen more than it’s fair share [...]
I’ve spent a lot of time here talking about craft beer and brewing, but there is another traditional product that has been having a renaissance in the last decade, that of small-scale, traditionally produced cider. In the autumn of 2008, I found myself in a beautiful apple orchard in New Hampshire tasting fresh-pressed cider [...]
Try to match these slogans with the beer brand they have been used for: “Cold as the Rockies”, “Cold. Wet.
