This is one of my favorite breweries in Europe. They have an awesome hefeweizen but their beers aren’t super distributed even in Germany. One day, I hope they will make it here. Even a little would be welcome.
It’s raining beer!
from CNN.com
Flood waters that coursed through Atlanta area neighborhoods this week have finally drained back into nearby rivers and creeks. But hundreds of families are still coping with the environmental disaster inside their homes, which are covered with layers of mud and mold.
Weather forecasters predict more rain this weekend.
That’s the last thing most residents want to hear, but at one Atlanta company, a brewery, workers will welcome the rain. Instead of cursing more rain, they will consider it heaven sent — both an economic and environmental blessing.
In just a week, the rain has filled the tanks at 5 Seasons Brewery and restaurant. They’ve collected 2,500 gallons of water which…if my math is right…will make roughly 20,000 pints of beer!
So help save the planet, one pint at a time.

I think it’s so cool how tightknit the beer community is. We are an opinionated bunch but when it comes to making beer, we usually see eye to eye.

Snoqualmie Falls Brewing
From east coast to west, I have had the fortune to have had a few bombers of the beer from Snoqualmie and it is excellent. I am especially fond of the Wildcat IPA.
