For the last several years GoodLife Brewing has been teaming up with the band G. Love and Special Sauce to collaborate on the naturally-named Special Sauce IPA series.

Oddly enough—I didn’t plan it—it seems that March 1 is National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day, and my latest article for The Bulletin is out and the topic is peanut butter beer, featuring Wild Ride Brewing’s Nut Crusher Peanut Butter Porter.

BBC also included a half-year canned beer calendar with the press release. Here’s the upcoming can schedule through June and information from the release … Continue reading
News about new beer releases from four different Bend breweries came down the wire today, so I thought I’d round it all up into one aggregate post. There’s some great stuff coming out of Bend (as usual!) so you’re going to want to be here to check things out. Boneyard … Continue reading
