Moon River Brewing
We stay in Georgia to get a taste of Moon River Brewing, they first came to my attention via BeerAmerica.TV
They make a Wild Wacky Wit, Captain’s Porter, Savannah Fest, Swamp Fox IPA and Slow-vannah Pale Ale. What I like about them is that when you check out the beers on their website, right next to the beer description is a food pairing. I’m seeing that more and more but there’s is done pretty well.
Beer Premiere Night
Roll out the red carpet, LA. Forget the Oscars and the Grammys. Last night brought two new and highly anticipated beers to the City of Angels.
First at the Daily Pint was Life and Limb from Dogfish Head and Sierra Nevada. Sadly, Limb and Life did not make it, yet. Now this a winter warmer. As I tried to explain it to people, this beer is a porter with Sierra Nevada hoppiness on one side and Dogfish Head alcohol warmth on the other. It worked for me but it like the other beer I had are sippers.
Then I drove back across town to Blue Palms for the unveiling of Firestone-Walker 13th Anniversary. Brian Lenzo had the foresight, nay genius, to start buying these beers years ago and has amassed quite the impressive collection. He had a sampler of 10, 11, 12 and 13. The 13 was nice. You may know me as the dark beer hater but 13 had a good balance. Some liquor aroma and bite but the beer was still there and it was smooth. Plus it was good to see celebrated Celebrator writer Tomm Carroll amongst all the familiar faces. Next years vertical flight should be killer.
Another cool brew website….
…is USA Beer Trends. They ask great questions each week and report on different industry , what’s the right word, trends.
Great article on beer marketing
I just bought Pete Brown’s book and then I saw this article (filled with beer ads) about the marketing side of beer.
Very eye opening and a little disheartening. But then I thought of all the great beer under the radar (adwise) and was re-heartened.
L.A. Times on the craft beer bandwagon
Finally we are getting some love from the L.A. Times. Too few and far between for my tastes but check out this ARTICLE.
(I posted my quick review of Stout a day ahead of the times. I SCOOPED them!)
