RIP Great Divide
Great Divide has pulled out of the DC market. My friendly neighborhood liquor store has informed me that they have received their last shipment of Great Divide beers. Titan, Yeti and Colette are absolutely outstanding beers and they will be missed. Pick up a sixer and toast to their memory.

Brauereisterben: Germany's beer culture is in... →

On the spreading of beer knowledge:
slouchingforward:

And I remember having a conversation with someone years ago where someone questioned my hatred. I just turned my nose up and said, “Urgh. It’s just disgusting. I don’t see how anyone...

How Jimmy Carter Saved the Craft Beer Industry →
