Sean Inman has posted the theme for The Session #38. With Dark Lord Day 2010 right around the corner you should be able to figure out what he is aiming for.
What beer have you tasted recently (say, the last six months or so) that is worthy of their own day in the media sun?
And to [...]

This is my contribution to the Session #37: “The Display Shelf: When to Drink the Good Stuff” or, if you prefer, “Raid the Cellar.” Visit The Ferm for links to more posts.
Is there a perfect beer for every particular special moment? Is there a time in every beer’s life when it tastes better than it [...]

Tom Cizauskas has posted the roundup for Session #36: Cask-Conditioned Beer.
Be sure to make to all the way to the end and the links to all the non-bloggers who Tom prodded into contributing. Don’t miss his own post about local hops for local beer.
 
 

SirRon at The Ferm has announced the topic for Session #37, so we begin the fourth year of first Friday drinking with marching orders to write about “The Display Shelf: When to Drink the Good Stuff.”
The explanation:
“The topic is open ended and the rules of The Session are close to nil. You can use your [...]

This is my contribution to Session #36: Cask-conditioned ale that involves actual drinking of beer. Host Tom Cizauskas has the recap (plus plenty himself). I also wrote a little about cask ale in U.S. 15 or so years ago and posted an additional story (from 1997) in The Library.
This seems like a good Valentine’s Day [...]

It’s Saturday morning and I’m sitting down to write my contribution to The Session #36: Cask-Conditioned Ale. I’m running behind because I just spent the last hour or so reading all the contributions host Tom Cizauskas solicited. Really wonderful and worth your time.
I particularly like Steve Hamburg’s recollections from the early, then later, days of [...]

Naked Pint authors Christina Perozzi and Hallie Beaune will host The Session #35: New Beer’s Resolutions (sorry, Mr. B) on New Year’s Day.
So we want to know what was your best and worst of beer for 2009? What beer mistakes did you make? What beer resolutions do you have for 2010? What are your [...]

A quick reminder that Jim at Two Parts Rye hosts The Session on Friday. The theme is “Stumbling Home.”
Here’s the idea:
It’s time to give a shout out to your favorite watering hole. How good are the beers? Any interesting cast of characters? What are your drinking buddies like? They probably need [...]

This is my contribution to Session #33, and the theme is “framing beer.” Check out I’ll Have A Beer for an explanation and to see what other bloggers are writing.
It’s been a long, busy day and I’ve finally made it to a beer, Great Divide Hibernation, a beer I wrote about for Session #10. Just [...]

Session #33 tomorrow, the theme being “Framing Beer.” Andy Couch has the explanation, because I’ll Have A Beer is the host.
I’m not sure about this part: “Ideally drink something that you don’t think you will like.”
And I’m also not sure if “framing beer” relates to the ongoing discussion about beer as art or the [...]
