once you've tasted them....

 

 

you'll know.

I think I've burnt my tongue on too many hot pizzas and impatient sips of coffee to know...

 

Goddamn budgets...

 

Now I'm trying to get a $175 3-day pass to Pitchfork through the budget committee. Not looking good. It's up against a $160 family season pass to the public pool.

Anyone coming from the Northeast interested in setting up a trade at Solid Sound? From the midwest so can pick up any TG hops, Half Acre is releasing Beer Hates Astronauts, Pipeworks or anything else you may be interested in. Have a limited cellar as well but includes New Glarus R&D releases and Central Waters barrel aged reserve series. Interested in any fresh Treehouse, Heady, Trillium and Sip of Sunshine. Shoot me a PM if you want to work something out.

Cheers!

A brewery out of Burlington, VT, called Foam Brewers is producing some top-notch hoppy beers. In an area that's basically producing some of, if not THE best beer in the country, it's impressive that a newcomer like Foam has gained traction so quickly.

 

I appreciate their beer names too, which include: Pavement, Built to Spill, Son Volt, Joy Division, etc. Maybe one day they'll make a Wilco!

Seeing the Beer Advocate site, reminded me of recent news regarding Rate Beer.

 

On Friday, another one of those huge stories arrive, as Good Beer Hunting broke a significant acquisition —AB-InBev, via its “global disruptive growth group” ZX Ventures, had acquired an unknown “minority stake” of one of the web’s two largest and most popular beer-rating sites, RateBeer (the other being Beer Advocate). ZX Ventures is the same group that AB-InBev used to buy out popular homebrewing supplier Northern Brewer last year, and it’s also the backer for faux-craft blog October.

Great news for one of my local brewers. Great place and great people. Prior to opening their establishment, they were (and still are) members of a home brew club (www.bossbeer.org) that I hang with. Great news for them, too.

Tinley Park's Hailstorm Brewing Co. this week brought home the top award in the biggest category at the nation's largest craft beer festival.

It's like winning the Best Picture Oscar at the Academy Awards, the final honor announced late Saturday at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver, Colo. This year, brewers at the 35-year-old festival competed for 293 medals in 98 categories.

Wednesday afternoon at Hailstorm's taproom, 8060 186th St., some patrons celebrated the recognition and representatives of other breweries stopped by to offer congratulations and to sample the award-winning brew.
