my occasional rants and raves about what is going on in the industry.
This is a great tool if you want to stoke controversy at your beer establishment of choice or if you just want to antagonize your barkeep.
The Beer Gauge measures the perfect pint for you and makes sure you do not get less than what you rightly deserve.
I give a large shout out to the folks at Free the Hops. They finally got the restrictive beer laws in Alabama changed!!!
According to the NY Times, “..You see, until last week, merchants in Alabama were not permitted to sell beer with an alcohol content that exceeded six percent. Alabamians could buy all the bourbon, vodka and Thunderbird wine they wanted, but mildly strong beer? Forget it.” and furthermore “…But now that has all changed. Last Friday, Gov. Bob Riley of Alabama signed a bill that raises the alcohol limit to 13.9 percent, although the container-size limit will stay in effect.”
Have a great weekend Alabamians!! Roll Tide!!

These two books are musts for any beer library. You had better have a beer library or at least one book by Michael Jackson. Beer School is a great business accented account of how the Brooklyn Brewery was born and nurtured to where it is today. Very interesting on the intricacies of selling beer and creating a entreprenurial mind set.
To cover the beer and food pairing phenomenon, you have to read The Brewmaster’s Table. It is an excellent guide to food and beer. If you don’t learn something new, then you are the one true beer geek god.
