Yes, back online tonight (finally!) after the long weekend. So, let's get it started with three links I found interesting:

• Brewery responds to copyright fight with cheeky beer label: Bethlehem Brew Works had to rename their "Rudolph's Reserve" seasonal ale because of a copyright dispute. The new name? Rude Elf's Reserve. Nice.
• Ales for the seasons: Overview and roundup of some seasonal beers.
• Czech brewers defend their famous beer amid claims it is deteriorating: Trouble in the Old Country! :) I'm not sure why CAMRA is picking on Czech brewers... maybe the Brits are jealous because (according to the article) "Czechs annually drink 160 litres (42 gallon) of beer per head, more than any other nation"...?
