I am too busy!

I've been busy this week and I don't like it. Work wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to....work.

Just got done watching Beer Wars. Check it out. Nice film about beer in the US. I swear after watching it I will never drink Bud again. Unless it is free. And then I will drink it. Seriously, check the movie out. I am going to try to get an interview with Sam of Dogfish Head as well. Wish me luck!

The big news this week has been the merge of Kirin and Suntory. However, this probably won't mean jack to you and me. Just like Bud being bought by Inbev didn't deter the local redneck from drinking "The King of Beers", don't expect this to have any lasting real affect on the average drinker. And for heavens sake, drink some local beer if you can. Your local brewer thanks you.

I'm getting all my stuff packed to leave here on Thursday. Already I am planning on visiting about 8 breweries and trying to do as much beer sleuthing as can be done. Wish me luck.



I found a picture of me and Nate (and Nick) drinking Baird Beer's Japan Tale Ale. It was good, but wasn't my favorite. It was the morning. Forgive the sleepy looks.

We had Nate's going away party last Sunday night. WOW. Pictures to come soon.

I need to finish packing and get some sleep, so I'll be back with more tomorrow. Hope your nightly beers tasted as good as mine did. I had some Malt's and some of Nate's Oaked Bourbon chips Infinite Sadness. It was good. And I'm out. Dang.

In actuality, there was some backlash from the 'good ol' boys' when Anheuser-Busch was sold to InBev. But craft beers did not get much (if any) of the refracted business.
