That was fast. If you got some, count yourself lucky. The rest of us will have to wait until next year. Bummer.

Why Craft Beer?

In the past decade, the awareness of and appreciation for craft and specialty imported beer in America has increased exponentially. Since 2003, craft beer has outpaced all other adult beverage categories in annual growth according to reports by the Brewers Association. Through my experience in beer sales and education at wholesalers around the country, I have observed some general trends, which I believe will continue to fuel the growth of craft and specialty beer for decades to come.

The Best Little Gas Station in Texas?

I saw this and knew some people in Austin that needed to hear the word, if they hadn't already. Apparently, there's a little joint called Giovanni's Pizza Stand inside a Valero that serves great pizza and the station itself has a killer craft beer selection. Thank you, Julie Chen, for the story. Here's the link: Best Little Gas Station in Texas.

No.1 Selling Single-Serve Craft Beer in U.S.

Yep. Top-o-the-heap. And it's not even sold everywhere. That's pretty strong, but don't bother yourself about it, don't even go looking for it. Why? You know why - because you're not worthy. Arrogant Bastard Ale.
However, if you do think you're man - or woman - enough, then, you can go to Great Brewers and use their Beer Finder to locate one. Or, for iPhone and Android users, download BeerCloud - it has the same cool Beer Finder tool(like Shazam for beer)!

Wine is Better For You Than Beer - NOT!

We've all heard how wine, consumed in moderation, has been shown to have some suprising, some might even say profound, health benefits. That's awesome, but guess what? So does beer! I came across this article and it occured to me that Beer is not getting its fair share of Health News press. I aim to do my part and spread the word.

Forget about apples. A beer a day will keep the doctor away!
