2011 Zymurgy Best Beers in America

Each year Zymurgy asks its readers for their 20 favorite beers. Check out the results of this year's poll here. Of note are Stone's 2 entries in the top 10, and Alpine taking top honors in the "Spirit of Homebrew" category. Also placing in that category are AleSmith and Placentia's The Bruery. Way to go, guys!

Huh?

Mission Brewery is helping out local guide dogs in training. Check out the article here. Drink a beer, help train a guide dog. Cool!

Happy Monday!

I know one guy who had a happy Monday. I saw him around 10:00am this morning on his bike with a fresh case of Stella Artois on his handlebars. I saw him around 3:00pm, again riding from the direction of the local grocery store, this time with an unopened case of Sam Adams balancing on the handlebars. That's a lot of beer for a Monday, but then again, we are talking about Monday! At least his choice in beer was a lot better than it could have been. Happy Monday!

Cheers!

It's that time again

The San Diego International Beer Festival returns this weekend at the San Diego County Fair. There will be more than 350 beers from over 150 breweries for your tasting pleasure. I will be there as a table captain on Saturday again this year, so look for me in one of the specially designated "white shirts", which will just be a plain white t-shirt, but I wanted it to sound cooler. See you there!
