The Brew Site
A little past the holidays, I know, but I had a bottle of Butte Creek‘s Christmas Cranberry Ale around that time and figured, better late than never to write it up. I’d had the bottle for a while (since a summertime trip to Portland, I think), and when I opened … Continue reading
I know it’s a little early to be announcing this one, but I’m going through my email and trying to be good about checking out and posting items people have sent me… Rogue Ales: Brewer’s Memorial Ale Fest (Benefiting the Humane Societies of Oregon) Join us in Newport at the … Continue reading
Jumbo Box of Beer Gumbo Will Benefit Katrina Assault Victims in Louisiana Magic Hat Brewing Company has announced the release of a very limited edition Mardi Gras 12-pak to mark the season and support Crescent City women in need. The exclusive carnivale in a carton will be available only during … Continue reading
A while back the BBC posted a feature titled “50 things to eat before you die” and I thought at the time that this would make a good topic for beer. So in the spirit of adventure and living life to the fullest, etc. etc., I’m coming up with the … Continue reading
I thought about it, and realized there were some predictions I could make. Nothing earth-shaking here, I think they’re reasonable extrapolations based on what we’ve been seeing.

Just like last year, I’m doing a stats and data wrap-up for the site. I suppose this is mostly interesting only to me, but I like giving an idea of what the site has been doing over the past year. Number of blog entries: 226 (Last year: 222) Approximate total … Continue reading
Time for a quick review. Terminal Gravity Brewing is located in the tiny little Eastern Oregon town of Enterprise, and I’d been hearing good things about their IPA, so I picked some up back around Thanksgiving (yes, I’m a bit behind on reviews). Turned out to be a pretty good … Continue reading
We caught a re-run of the History Channel‘s Modern Marvels series on Brewing, and I have to say, it was pretty good. They covered the history of beer and brewing pretty decently in an hour’s time, and were pretty fair overall. And I do mean history—from brewing’s earliest known origins … Continue reading
