This post started with me thinking that there was not much to link to today, but not long after that I saw that I had a ton of tabs open on my browser. I probably had enough open even before going back to see what The Wife sent me over the course of the week.
Getting to it now . . .
- Starting with sales news for the big guys today. Maybe the reason that AB-InBev is throwing out new ad campaigns like this one is because their sales numbers were not so good for the first quarter. On the other side, MillerCoors seems to be doing just fine with much thanks going to their craft brands.
- Sure we get to see the payoff here, but I have to think the toppling process took some time. I hate having to clean up one broken bottle of beer, so I cannot imagine the cleanup that this mess required.
- Sure they won some awards at the Denver international Beer Competition, but where is the award for having this concert at the barn that was their original canning facility.
- Kudos to the lawmakers in D.C. for supporting the growth of craft brewing and the same goes (finally) to the Illinois Senate for moving the self-distribution bill along to the House.
- Sure it sounds like things moved along much more smoothly than it has in past years, but I still have no desire to stand in long lines for a beer. Maybe that will change someday, but I doubt it.
- This falls into the “I have been there before so I was drawn to the article” portion of the news for today. That is pretty much how it made the cut.
- I always tend to read articles about how to taste and appreciate beer because I know that I have much left to learn.
- Since I moved to Florida and was exposed to a handful of different college athletic venues I have been fascinated with the selling beer in stadiums thing. Having attended a university where beer was sold in the stadium I guess I just thought it was the norm.
- In keeping up with the potential east coast brewery location for Sierra Nevada, here is a short little Q & A to read over.
- With American Craft Beer Week coming up very soon, here is a list of ideas of what you can do to really celebrate properly.
