Marble Brewing
Back to New Mexico for the Marble Brewery.
Here are my two suggestions…
Simcoe Pale Ale
This single hop pale ale is a great spring beer, with big citrus hop aroma and flavor, little malt character and a nice crisp and refreshing finish. 5.4% ABV
TIPA
Yes, it?s what you think it is. Loads of hops, rich pale malt, long bitter-sweet finish. 11% ABV. $6.00 a pint. No 22s. $20 growlers.
One week until Session # 40
Here is the summary of what the session is about:
The Session, a.k.a. Beer Blogging Friday, is an opportunity once a month for beer bloggers from around the world to get together and write from their own unique perspective on a single topic. Each month, a different beer blogger hosts the Session, chooses a topic and creates a round-up listing all of the participants, along with a short pithy critique of each entry.
Find the full details HERE of this month’s topic: Session Beer
Don’t know much about Malt Liquor?
Neither do I. But thanks to the industrious bloggers at the HopPress, now I have a link to the History of Malt Liquor!
Did you know the first malt liquor showed up in 1937?
And now you can find new variations from Rogue or Dogfish Head.
Cask Ale Festivals
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)

I am…..
…a Canadian Craft Brewer. A companion to the very cool American version.
Wild Sumpin’
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.
HUB Rise Up
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.”
Kickstart a brewery
Have you heard of Mystery Brewing?
Well you could be hearing about them if you join up to help a business get off the ground. After reading the link above. Go to the link below and donate. I’ve done it because MORE beer being made is a good thing.
new from Duck Rabbit
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.
