Pairs Well With…A Craft Beer Pairing Primer
Stage One: Pairings Happen Am I alone in the realization that I’m pairing craft beers without even being aware of it? We drink beer and we eat food often at the same time thus, of course, creating a beer and food pairing. But the thought of intentionally pairing beer can feel overwhelming and complicated. There […]
Trademarks and drinking local: BWS Episode 81
In this week’s show, Doug and I (Tony) discuss the week’s news in beer, including trademark dustups, predictions for 2016 and large scale homebrewing (or at least we try to).

Crooked Hammock Brewery serves up summertime fun
A Watering Hole for Locals and Shoobies Alike I actually lived in Lewes, Delaware for a minute several years ago. I loved it. It was a wintertime stint; a quiet spell in a community that bursts at the seams with sun- and fun-seeking folk. Many shops and restaurants close during the winter months when tourists […]

Hello Winter Warmers! A Story of Beers, Beasts, and Berries.
ISO: Winter. Or Beers That Make Us Feel like it’s Winter I’m not going to complain about the heat wave that hugged our region since, well, last spring, but I’m ready for winter. Real winter with cold and snow and more snow. Not the stuff of stories. The Colorado girl in me has had it […]

A Last-minute Gift Guide for the Beer Lovers on Your List
It just hit me that we’re well into the 12 days of Christmas and I have figured out exactly zero of my gift giving plans. I love the holidays and while waiting till the last minute doesn’t make me a humbug, I’ll be the first to admit, it does produce a bit of self-inflicted stress. […]

Recipe for a Civilized Lunch: Grab a Friend, add a Beer
Perhaps it is my Italian heritage in combination with my travels. Or perhaps, and this is just as possible, I simply like to drink but regardless of the reason, I think there is something very civilized about having a beer with lunch. I have been thinking about quick lunch dates and why they’re so quick. […]
Lots of hops, lots of snacks and the beginning of year in review season BWS 79
Dogfish Head will try and crate the hoppiest beer ever, which will be fun to see and taste. My bet is that is isn’t undrinkably hoppy but still pretty bitter and floral. I wonder whether Shawn will be interested in trying this beer… DFH HOP(s) Brewer’s Association Year in Beer It’s that time of […]
