This week, Shawn pinch hits and speaks with Tony about the upcoming Shore Craft Beer festival in Salisbury, why you should try and make Budweiser-like beers for yourself, and a ton of national brewing news. All the beer is the best beer for someone…
It’s (mostly) Official!
We will be helping host the resurgence of the Riverwalk with our first foray into Salisbury. It will be the kind of event you’ve come to expect from us, so clear your calendars and make a plan to come visit.
Homebrewing news
We talk often about reasons to homebrew and one of the best is that you just get better beer. This story talks about how craft beer is better than Budweiser, and for many of us it is true, but for a lot of people (my son-in-law to be included) Budweiser is the gold standard of beer. The secret is, you can make that too. Once you successfully do, it is like learning the difference between a burger on the grill and a burger from McDonalds. For many, they each have their place, but there is no denying the qualitative difference between something made with better ingredients.
…and, of course…
Once you get real good at it, you’re going to want to have a crack at this fun fun fun competition…
Beer Moneyball
This week we got to read a story about the force behind the craft beer buyouts that aren’t by Budweiser. It’s smart and feels like a good move for the craft breweries who want to either fight off an impending AB InBev takeover or just shore up their finances.
