Craft beer is becoming undeniable
Aaaaand festival season is in full swing. Lots to talk about this week including a bunch of upcoming beer festivals. Last week we had a big beer garden event at the Rommel Harley-Davidson in Seaford.

Understanding anti-craft beer rage

Evo’s Mike Piorunski takes beer seriously
Over the last decade or so, brewing has become a modified meritocracy. The best brewers and the beers they make continue to rise to the top, but talented brewers with specialized knowledge rise faster. When Mike Piorunski came up in the business, he was mostly knowledge and determination, but over time cultivated that into a job brewing for one Evolution Craft […]
There Are Women Drinking Craft Beer Too!
When most people think of a craft beer drinkers they probably picture a guy in his 20s, 30s or 40s. What I’m going to guess they aren’t picturing is someone like me: a female in her 30s.
