The Brew SiteToday is Fermentation Friday, the group blogging meme dedicated to homebrewing. Homebrewing bloggers all collaborate on a single theme for the month, and the group writing day is the last Friday of said month.

It started today, and I’m sad to say I won’t be making it this year. That’s okay though, I’ll still find things to blog about it and I’ll be following along online. For instance, John Foyston has video online already of the "beer parade" kick-off and ceremonial tapping of the … Continue reading
This is an interesting PR piece to come my way; it’s not quite a full press release but it’s definitely worth running. Mark your calendar’s for August 11th. There’s a day to celebrate moms, dads, grandparents, and even Irishness, but what about brothers? Brothers are a proud clan. They flush … Continue reading

Don’t worry, you will—even though it’s not an official holiday yet, I suspect that will change. IBD is the brainchild of Jay … Continue reading
I don’t know if I’d call starting a small brewery a "start-up" (like a Bay Area tech company or something) but I like it. Joey of Cigar City Brewing writes: I’m opening a small batch brewery in Tampa, FL and when I started I decided that I’d blog the entire … Continue reading
Christmas in July? No, not really, just the review—I drank this back in March. Regardless, this was the 2007 vintage of Anchor’s Christmas Ale (formally known as Our Special Ale), which, as many doubtless know, is a seasonal offering brewed from a different recipe every year. Shockingly, I think this … Continue reading
I don’t know whether Brouwerij De Troch‘s fruit lambics are any more "authentic" than Lindemans, but I picked up a bottle of their Chapeau Banana Lambic when we did our last trip to John’s Marketplace earlier in the year simply because it intrigued me. Apparently they have an extensive line … Continue reading
