Eldorado makes at least one.

Oops. Forgot to send a change of address to the guys at 21st Amendment Brewery. (The fact is the people who bought our house in New Mexico likely will be receiving stray beers for years. Should have advertised that when the house was on the market.) So this can of Hop Crisis Imperial IPA traveled [...]

This isn’t exactly new. Live Science explained that the key had been found to the “smell of the sea” more than four years ago, but it appears I was absent that day. Instead, the basics just popped up in an audio book Daria is listening to. And it turns out dimethyl sulfide, otherwise known as [...]

This video in which Summit Brewing founder Mark Stutrud talks about the Moravian 37 barley his cousins Jim and Todd grow for the brewery isn’t overproduced and gets right to the point. “This family homestead, in its fourth generation, produces some of the best barley in the country,” Studrud said. “We’re proud that they are [...]

I don’t have an answer, but I like the sound of names such as The Grape Hop and Canterbury Jacks. They were part of the English hop landscape more than 100 years ago, and a curious soul might wonder what beers brewed with them would smell and taste like. Would they offer “new flavors” or [...]
