I’m going to Denver, CO for work in nine days. While I was sitting on my couch enjoying a Flying Dog Classic Pale this evening, I thought to myself, “Hey, the Flying Dog brewery is in Denver; I should do a brewery tour one afternoon while I’m there.”
Just thought I would share. I’m pretty fired up about it.

You can buy this Leinenkugel’s Explorer 12 pack for a price of $20. Via

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!

PRINCETON, NJ — Beer has regained a comfortable margin over wine when U.S. drinkers are asked to name which alcoholic beverage they most often drink. In recent years, wine had narrowed the gap, including pulling slightly ahead in 2005 (though not by a significant margin), but for the first time since 2002, beer enjoys a better-than-double-digit advantage over wine.
PHILADELPHIA/NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. brewer Anheuser-Busch Cos Inc (NYSE:BUD - News) agreed to a $50 billion takeover by Belgium-based InBev NV (Brussels:INTB.BR - News), a source familiar with the situation said on Sunday, creating the world’s largest beer maker.
InBev, the maker of Stella Artois, and Budweiser-brewer Anheuser were not immediately available to comment.
The combined company will be called Anheuser-Busch InBev, said the sources, who agreed to speak on condition of anonymity. Anheuser will get seats on the new company’s board, the sources said, but it was not immediately clear how many.

I rode the motorcycle to Memphis last weekend to see my pop for his birthday and for father’s day. Sunday night, Kim and I went out with my sister, Anna, and her hubby, Derek. We went to my favorite bar, Flying Saucer, in the Dirty Dova.
I had several Orval Trappist Ales. This beer was by far one of the best beers I’ve tasted in my thirty-two years. When poured correctly (I had to show my beer goddess how to correctly explode a beer), it yields a beautiful thick head that laces the glass nicely as it is consumed. Full bodied and hoppy, this is the beer to try on your next trip to a bar that serves it. Unfortunately, no bar in Mississippi carries this since it’s over 5% ABW (poor MS).
If you are in the Memphis area, there are two Flying Saucers, one in Cordova and one in downtown Memphis near Beale Street. Even if you aren’t a beer drinker, the waitresses’ short skirts and knee-high stockings are reason enough to go.
