Would You Like To Add A Beer With That?
Really? A Whopper Bar? Reaaaalllly?
The lounge music and advertising campaign of the Whopper Bar site tells me it’s more than just a ploy for the King and his employers at BK to bring in more business. However, if they want to start selling beer at American fast-food chains, it’s a step in the right direction.

Moonshinin'
A box from my sister arrived at my apartment this morning. I wasn’t expecting anything, but once I saw that it was from Connecticut I realized my sis finally got around to shipping my xmas present.
At first, the FRAGILE sticker on the front made me think it was a bottle of booze or wine, but once I reached the box’s innards it became apparent how it was much, much more…

It’s a good thing Stella is on the low end of the Belgium beer totem pole.

Lucky Cows
An article from OregonLive.com depicts the misery caused by a downtown power outage yesterday. When I got to work in the morning, all I had to do was creep around a basement prep kitchen in the dark.
Unfortunately for a few beer related businesses , things were bit worse:
“Among those businesses was Widmer Brothers Brewing Co., 929 N. Russell St. Co-owner Rob Widmer said the brewery...

A Little Taste of Home
The recent issue of Beer Advocate had a little snippet about one of my favorite breweries, New Glarus.
Ever since visiting the brewery in the very Swiss town of New Glarus, Wisconsin, I’ve been enamored with their beers. Because the brew isn’t sold anywhere outside of Wisconsin—and I personally blame brewer Dan Carey for my unquenchable thirst—I’m always on the lookout for when and where I can...
