Brewnanza

Looks like someone’s been paying attention to, oh, I dunno, the entire internet’s general preference for keeping things short and simple:

BeerVoice is a new competitor to the BeerAdvocates and RateBeers of the world. These guys opt to take the Twitter route, though, keeping things short and to the point with micro-reviews and a micro-presentation.
If these [...]

A couple weeks ago, Lagunitas Brewing posted a somewhat cryptic message on their Twitter stating the name of their upcoming new brew, Wilco Tango Foxtrot (saying WTF is so much funner though), yet not much else info was given. Fortunately for us, Beernews has helped clear up the some of the details.
WTF, indeed. As [...]

It looks like the collab between Sierra Nevada and Anchor Brewing is going to be on the darkside with a higher than normal ABV:
The label reads, “Fritz Maytag, owner of San Francisco’s Anchor Brewing Company, is regarded as the founding father of the craft brewing movement. Frtiz agreed to guest brew this very special ale [...]

An oddity spotted yesterday in the NY Times – apparently, growlers are the future of beer consumption.
“In the beginning we tried to figure out, ‘Who’s going to be our market?’ ” said Ben Granger, 32, an owner of Bierkraft, which began filling growlers in spring 2006. “We thought, mullet-heads and beer-bellied dudes. But the first run [...]

If there was ever a Mecca for beer aficionados in San Francisco, Toronado is arguably the epicenter. With a large selection of 40+ craft brews always on tap plus additional bottled beers (have you ever wanted to try a $25 355 ml/12 oz Belgium beer?) it has been heralded by brew lovers far and wide [...]

Do you remember that scene in Pulp Fiction where John Travolta is telling Samuel L. Jackson that you can order a beer at McDonald’s in France? Well, soon enough the residents of Miami will get to do just that at a particular Burger King restaurant. Burger King announced that it will start selling Anheuser-Busch and [...]

Having lived in Chico for a couple years, prior to my current stay in San Francisco, I can’t help but be a big fan and advocate of Sierra Nevada. Summerfest calls my name during those hot months (well, hot in Chico and NOT SF) and Celebration Ale keeps me warm during those long winter nights. [...]

Northern California could be considered Mecca for beer lovers, with some of the best West Coast beers coming from Bay Area and Sonoma brewers. 21st Amendment, Anchor, Lagunitas, Russian River, Bear Republic – need I go on?
San Francisco itself is a haven for beer lovers for many reasons, but two specifically stand out: legendary beer [...]

As someone who works in PR, I can’t help but be impressed by guys like Greg Koch. Not content to simply make great beer, Stone does great marketing, too.
The latest from these arrogant bastards is a series of videos called Stone Skips Across The Pond, chronicling their overseas exploits as they visit a few of [...]

Fat Tire brewer New Belgium yesterday announced the debut of their Ranger India Pale Ale, perhaps because they’d like to help fight cancer (but probably because people seem to buy a lot of IPAs).
I’m a huge fan of New Belgium’s seasonal and specialty brews – I’ve thoroughly enjoyed 2Below and Mothership Wit, not to mention [...]
