We had a good sampling of beers the other night at Greg & Jenn’s house.

If Batman prefers the Beer Belt, what does Rambo wear? That’s right, the Beerdolier ($15). This sling-style pack is made from sturdy nylon material and sports six neoprene beer holders, ensuring that your brews stay cold all day long.

Over on Salon they have two articles celebrating America’s proud tradition of uniformly non-craft beer production. So crack open a cold Bud and enjoy.
And the next great American beer will be…?
Pabst may be worshiped by hipsters, but can it replace Budweiser as the best classic domestic brew? The answer may surprise you. By Edward McClellandThe United States of cheap beer
From Stroh’s to Shiner Bock, from Hamm’s to Hudepohl, Salon brings you an incomplete, biased guide to this great piss-beer nation. By Salon Staff
Mississippi is missing out on some tax dollars. My tax dollars to be exact. Rather, any tax dollars of folks that enjoy craft beers. Mississippi has some antiquated, prohibition-era alcohol laws. This means that Mississippi doesn’t carry a lot of the beers that I and others like myself enjoy.
I’ve been out of town for work the past few days. I thought I would stop in Delta, LA on my way back from Dallas to get some beer before I crossed the MS/LA line. I picked up five single 11.2oz bottles of Delirium Nocturnum, three single 11.2oz bottles of Delirium Tremens, a bottle of Chimay Rouge aka Première (25.4oz/750ml), a bottle of Corsendonk Abbey Brown Ale (25.4oz/750ml), and a bottle of Tripel Karmeliet (25.4oz/750ml). I just walked in the door a few minutes ago, so I’m going to give them a few minutes to cool down before I open them.
Too bad, Mississippi!
Sláinte!
Look, we know the appeal of the occasional Franzia stand or one-armed Rossi pull, but at some point you’ve got to put the 20/20 down and stop drinking like a hobo — and it sounds like a new device being developed in Spain might help you learn to appreciate some classy wine for once. The “electronic tongue,” as it’s called, features six sensors that can measure factors like acidity, sugar, and alcohol levels, and use them to determine the age and variety of the wine, just like NEC’s adorable little drink-bot. The tongue is supposed to be used to help wine industry officials assess wine quality in the field and detect frauds, but we’ve got a feeling it’s going to be a hit around snooty wine bars worldwide.
