Yes, we’ve had a lot of adventures lately, plus the Real Ale Fest starts tomorrow so we’ll have a lot more. While I sort through what I’m going to post I want to share with you the beer I’m having right now: A Bati Beer from Kombolcha Brewery in Ethiopia. Some of our friends picked [...]

Dan Akroyd and Inferno Ale
Dan Akroyd was making an appearance promoting his Crystal Skull Vodka yesterday, but he’s a big beer guy too. Here he is with Lost Abbey’s Inferno Thanks for the photos Sheldon!
Beer Molly – Beer Cover Girl
Hey look — Beer Molly is on the cover of the July issue of All About Beer magazine! (Along with some other people.) The photo was taken at The Angel’s Share release at the Lost Abbey back in February of `09. In case you’re interested, the folks standing next to her are (from left to [...]
Video: tasting Pizza Beer
So a few weeks back Beermolly got a package from Johnathan Surratt (aka: Beerinator) of The Beermapping Project in a sort of chainletter-type beer swap.

Turns out a lot of folks who were laid off, downsized, or otherwise de-employed are tapping their inner entrepreneur and getting into the micro-brewing business. [...]
Hell of a night at the Ranch
I’m having one hell of a beer for one hell of day. Okay, actually I just found a couple of bottles down in the cellar. But it’s still good.
Poorman and Me
Actually, I’m not a “poor man” (unless you count having no money, no income and a lot of debt as “poor”), but last night Beermolly and I went to Carlsbad Pizza Port with the Monkeys for a couple of pints and pizza. Monkey Mike and I got a pitcher of Poorman’s IPA, which is my [...]
