Charlie Papazian is blogging
Thursday, April 24th, 2008It seems so 2007 a vintage year for new beer blogs — to note the arrival of a new blogger.
But I will anyway: Charlie Papazian is blogging.

At the risk of poking the hornet’s nest — I don’t have a category here for “ethics” and not really criticism per se — I must pass along this story. Seems like a better deal than a trip to St. Louis.
From the UK wine magazine Decanter:
Wine magnate Bernard Magrez has outraged a group of journalists […]
Today a tree: the Simcoe hop. Tomorrow the forest: the rest of the hops in the world.
And not just because it seems that how you describe the aroma of Simcoe determines if you drink/smell beer like a man or like a woman.
Simcoe was only released to the brewing world in 2000 and really is a […]
We’re big on Earth Day in our house, doing the tree decorating thing, a traditional meal, etc. What better way to recycle everything from December?
Seriously, we figure what ever we are trying to celebrate should be practiced every day. So I wasn’t going to comment, and I’m really not other than to say I agree […]
Morning came way too early Friday at the Craft Brewers Conference, but I was committed to put on a Gourdians T-shirt and make it to the 8:30 presentation titled, “Marketing Outside the Pumpkin.”
Marty Jones (Oskar Blues), David Buhler (Elysian Brewing) and Greg Koch (Stone Brewing) simply did a masterful job of gonzo marketing their guerilla […]

I had planned to blog from the Craft Brewers Conference, but less than stellar wireless and the time constraints changed my mind.
Reports from the field will begin Monday.
I’m with Jeff Alworth on this.
He elegantly rebutts — with help from Brian Butenschoen of the Director of the Oregon Brewer’s Guild — an article in Time Magazine that declares Denver the best place for beer touring.
Doesn’t need any help from me, but I did have this additional thought when I first saw the article.
Denver […]
Wednesday I am off to the Craft Brewers Conference in San Diego.
Yes, this involves drinking beer. It also involves a lot of asking questions. In my case many will be wheat related, since I’m starting work on the previously mentioned book for Brewers Publications.
But if you were going and could ask craft brewers or […]
Yesterday I mentioned Luke Nicholas’ Twitter feed.
(What’s Twitter? This is a good way to found out.)
Luke, a New Zealander who brews Epic Ale, landed in San Francisco on Thursday and I can’t count how many beers he’s had since. As I type he’s working his way through the lineup at Russian River Brewing in Sonoma. […]
