Being better than the name
I gotta let you know, right off the bat that I’m kinda contractually obligated to overuse FeBREWary, which is the perfect marriage of hackneyed marketing and unimaginative puns, but I’m not contractually obligated to pretend it is clever. I like to think of FeBREWary like a school uniform: If you can’t distinguish yourself as original […]

Here’s to new beers
As I was working through my commentary on the first couple stories I noticed I wasn’t being completely kind. Sometimes that’s the way it goes. That said, there were tons of nice and positive stories this week and we’ll get to those as well. Gentle reminder, folks that we have Love on Tap coming up […]
New plan: Drinking more Dogfish Head beer sooner
At the end of the spring season last year, Dogfish Head debuted “Seaquench,” which they billed as a session sour. Tart and a little salty, it was a massive hit well before its time. I first heard about it from DFH evangelist Dan Ryan at a beer tasting and book signing. In case I hadn’t mentioned […]
Good beer is a real thing

Craft Beer tastes and trends worth watching
We’ve gone over this before, but it is worth going over again. I’m not often a fan of “blame the internet” but when it comest to beer trends (and most financial news really) almost every story is taking a snapshot and extrapolating. “People are drinking less Budweiser” isn’t as sexy a headline, true. But, more […]
Having a splendid New Year
It’s been a couple of weeks, during which both Christmas and New Years occurred. It’s been a great time for local beer with lots of special beers and limited editions coming out. I made a trip to N.J. where I got to sample the second anniversary beer from 902 Brewing as well as the BDG […]
This week’s top 8 beer stories
There’s always plenty of stuff about big beer in the news, but this week’s stories have a particular insight that might be useful. Even though many of the flagship beers aren’t growing as they have in the past, many of the smaller brands are on the rise. We also take a look at some of […]
Love yourself as I have loved me
I wrote an extended Instagram post about beer selfies. The shortest way i can put it is that, given that I follow so many beer drinkers, I’d like to encourage everyone to participate in more beer selfies. To be fair and honest, I totally overdo the beer selfies, but that’s more about my vanity and the […]
