No picture. Had one of these last night and it was only later I realized it was 12%. The most more-ish 12% beer in the history of the universe, me thinks. Masses of layers of flavours the specifics of which you can fill in at your own discretion - but with a smooth core like a wee bit of lactose in there. A semi-demi-hemi sweet quad stout...that just has to be that next new style just waiting to be declared. BAers go all gooey. Stonch approved...and he took a photo, too.
Cincinnati beer baron Greg Hardman, on a mission to recreate Cincinnati's brewing heritage, said this morning he's acquired the Little Kings Cream Ale brand, famous for its seven-ounce green bottles.
The sweet smell of barley mash fills the brewing hall. Water and foam spritz down on visitors' heads as they watch a film about fermentation, as seen from the perspective of beer.

The beer and alcoholic beverages market this year will reach a growth rate of 12-14 per cent despite the high inflation and economic downturn, according to the Viet Nam Alcohol, Beer and Beverage Association.
This is my best photo of 2008. I now feel that it is a bit of cheek suggesting I even have a best photo given both the quality that comes through the Yule photo contest as well as the simple fact that I did not take the variety of photos in 2008 that I did in years past. I like the stability of repeated use that the corner of the cold room provides for the bottle portraits that accompany reviews. Plus my current camera just isn't up to the task. read more »
Several months ago, I wrote about an interesting and expensive ale called Deus that was truly the champagne of beer - it starts its complex process in Belgium before being sent to France to go through a third ...
See, if I write "Part One" it means I don't really have to write a full post while at the same time I can put off all those emails for the contest winners I was supposed to have gotten out by now. It's coming along - almost half are out - but even you have to admit that there is no way I ever expected we would have to be awarding over 40 prizes. I am fighting my urge to play Wii, the Christmas gift of the decade so far. The only way to deal with this set of conflicting demands is to play the first Devo album as I think about this problem...and the question of what was the best of my year in beer. Here is what I have so far: read more »
I am not against Quebec separatism. Heck, I am not against separatism anywhere as long as the people actually want to separate. I have tartan clothes, you know. Just saying these things can happen. But this news today in the National Post (but noted by Rick Lyke weeks ago ) seems to hint strongly that there is still much work to do to ever gain the support of the majority in la belle province : It is a marketing coup that is meant to brew up support for Quebec sovereignty -- literally. Thirsty sovereigntists have launched a beer called l'Independante, in hopes of stirring up ailing support for sovereignty. The pale ale dubbed "the beer that will never give in" sports a blue logo with a patriotic-looking woman, her fist in the air. The slogans are unequivocal: Vive la biere libre! read more »
Alaskan Brewing Co. announced that it will expand the limited release of its award-winning Alaskan Barley Wine to all ten western states where Alaskan beer is distributed. Alaskan Barley Wine has been produced in limited edition batches each year since its introduction at the Great Alaska Beer and Barley Wine Festival in 2003.
“It is a big beer for our big Alaska winters,” said Co-founder and Brewmaster Geoff Larson. “This brew garnered a steady following in Alaska, but people from all over the country were asking when they could buy Alaskan Barley Wine in bottles.”
The brewery finally answered the call last January, releasing the 2007 Alaskan Barley Wine in 22-ounce bottles for the first time in Alaska, Washington and Oregon, but it wasn’t available for long. read more »
