SSI - Beer Thirty!

Ohio-09-btn-promo-m-baskbl_tiny by obc2 on

I picked up the online edition of the Chicago Tribune yesterday and read some sad, sad news.  InBev (nee Anheiser Busch) purchased Chicago's Goose Island article here. In the original article it states Dogfish Head (obc2 approved brewer) is cutting back distribution to maintain integrity which is good, good news.   

MillerCoors outsells InBev products in Chicago? Color me shocked and awed... 

The Holy Grail opened at The Banks across from GABP on St Patrick's Day.  Despite Mo Egger's thumbs up recommendation via Twitter I'm still voting thumbs down on the place. Taps at the table are turrrrrible, usually set to cut off dispensing after 36 ounces most places I've seen.  Plus, look at the owners/clientele who were judged most photo worthy from their grand opening pics and article here

tHan and I tried the Blue Moon Seasonal Spring ale this weekend on Prime Rib Saturday Night...not good.  we did not order a second glass of the beverage.  Best beer of the weekend was Rivertown Brewery's Bockfest.  Deeeeeelicious.  

Samuel Adams has been up and down for me lately.  But if I come across this six pack i will most certainly purchase it. Homebrew winners

i saw the atlanta episode of drinking made easy

and it featured a bar with the taps on the table. it looked like a terrible idea, because like you said they cut you off much earlier than if you were ordering from the bar.

i’m pretty sure that episode also featured a guy that made moonshine out in the woods.

While it may be drinkable in 2 weeks it will be much better in 2 months. Its fun to drink a bottle a week to see how the beer matures.

I’m more looking forward to the Moerlein Lager House opening. They have narrowed down their pub Brewmaster search and should have an announcement coming soon. I also learned just yesterday that in addition to Moerlein beers on tap they will have 24 guest taps for (hopefully) other craft beer.

I agree 100%

Moerlein’s products have huge consistency issues. Every single OTR Pale Ale I’ve had tastes like diacetyl (a byproduct of yeast that shouldnt be present in beer). However, I’m willing to give them a second chance. They are finally moving their production facilities to Cincy (the old Husman’s factory in OTR) and have hired a good beer guy to be their brewmaster and are giving him control over the recipes. He has told me personally that he doesn’t care for most of the recipes and wants to tweak them to make them better. The new recipes coupled with moving their production out of a contract brewer’s hands should help improve consistency dramatically.

So, I'm moving on Thursday

My old house was about a 15 minute drive from a Dogfish Head Ale House, which I criminally neglected. I think I visited there just one time. It was one of the only good points about living in outside-the-Beltway suburban Maryland. But that’s what happens when you’re broke all the time.

I will be celebrating my birthday at this Friday at the recently opened Bier Baron, which took the place of the Brickskellar, a bar that had had the Guinness World Record for most beers on offer. The Baron also has a large number of beers available, but far more taps and kegs, meaning that if you order a beer, they’re more likely to have it rather than the bottles all being sold out. I will report back with my findings.

no, i wouldn't drink cream soda everyday, but I wouldn't drink root beer every day either

root beer is pretty good, but it’s too hard to find with caffeine.

for some reason, barq’s has caffeine, but diet barq’s does not. i only drink diet soda.
