how to discover new beer to try
Here is something that will make beer snobs turn purple with rage but I would be willing to try if it was available near me.
“Bia Wun” (jelly beer, in Thai) machines from Thailand that essentially turn bottled beer into beer slushies, which are then served with a straw.
I wish I could find a photo of it to not only show you out there on the interwebs but also because I am curious myself about it. If anyone out there has tried it, let me know about it.
The Thomas Hooker folks have readied their watermelon beer for the hot and humid east coast summer. I wonder how it compares to 21st Amendment’s canned watermelon wheat.

Here is a handy little summary of upcoming cask ale festivals put together by the great Imbibe magazine (which you should have a subscription to already)

from the Lagunitas brewers, “Another Big Sister of the Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ Ale…. Loads of Malted Wheat for a Curious Malt Foundation and a Light Color, But Our Belgian Yeast Leaves a Huge Flavor and Complexishness.”
So go get a bottle of the original so you can do a taste test when the WILD version is released.
Another new bottle from the organic brewers at HUB….almost sounds like the Trailblazer slogan from last year.
“This full bodied NW Red is mahogany smooth and hopped to the rafters with locally grown Cascade and Centennial hops. Raise your pints in the air, Rise Up, gather round, Organic Beer from the ground.”
Duck-Rabbit is the clear leader in my 50 Beers from 50 States challenge with their excellent Milk Stout. Now comes news that they will be bottling a lager which is a stylistic departure for the North Carolina brewers.
I am heartily impressed by the people at the Bruery. They improved on their 1st party! They changed up to 4 sessions. Capped admittance. Added an auxilliary bar for the “strong” stuff, and it worked beautifully.

I had the following beers:
Oude Tart
7 Grain Saison
Humulus Rice
Einer’s Folly
and…
here is the view out of the bottle…
I also had the Coton – barrel aged style with the lovely Liege waffles and choco bacon
Most people know Big Sky Brewing for Moose Drool brown ale. But I selected Trout Slayer Ale as the representative for Montana.
