Meridian Pint and DC Brau Launch Ground Wolf... →
The beer has already debuted in the DC Brau tap room, here’s what local (and quite experienced/accomplished) reviewer/beer ticker/aficionado Drabmuh had to say about the beer:

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... →
This is certainly true but I’m not so certain it’s totally unfortunate. While it’s always sad seeing cultural icons fall, creative destruction betters the marketplace and caters to the consumer.

On the spreading of beer knowledge:
slouchingforward:
I used to hate beer. I was always that annoying girl at the party who repeatedly asked if at least one person had some vodka because only people without tastebuds could drink that god awful beer. 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...
