Is anyone else shocked that it is June already? I am so much that it really did not occur to me until today despite yesterday being the first of the month. Had to put that out there.
Moving quickly to the good stuff . . .
- With the number of eyeballs around the world that watch that event every year, it seems like Heineken got a great bargain at that price.
- This is just another one of those pairing good beer with food stories, but it caught my eye when Schlenkerla Helles was a suggested pairing for some BBQ. Great call on that one.
- It is not that unusual to have two links to stories about Sam Adams in one of these posts but initially I did not realize they were both from the same source. In the first you find out how you can have a box of beer and beef delivered to your house. The second story gives some insight into what will be a very floral collaboration with Dogfish Head for SAVOR (which starts tomorrow).
- Simply a quick announcement of a new president of commercial operations for the Craft Brewers Alliance.
- Aside from mentioning that Harpoon turns 25 this month, the story gives a nice summary of how they came to be in the first place.
- This one is almost completely self serving as though I am happy that they are expanding their operations, I really only care if I can get my hands on some when in Central New York next month.
- It is always necessary to keep up to date on what smaller breweries are up to in Washington DC as they try to make a better environment for them all.
- It is exciting to see what he is working on here in the states, but I am also incredibly impressed (and jealous) that he has a degree in both distilling and brewing. Then throw in the wine knowledge he has and I can’t wait to try any of the beers he creates.
- After seeing the visual, there was no way that this was not going to be the last story and image to this post. Welcome back to the green and yellow!
