MONDAY BEER LINKS, MUSING 03.08.14<\/strong><\/p>\n

Good morning. This week an international collection of links.<\/p>\n

From the United States<\/strong><\/p>\n

The “big” story last week was the Brewers Association revising its definition of “craft brewer” (including that the association does not define “craft beer,” only “craft brewer”). I couldn’t pick just one post to link to, so three:<\/p>\n

– A corny definition of craft beer.<\/strong><\/a> From Don Russell at Joe Sixpack.<\/p>\n

– The Brewers Association Evolves.<\/strong><\/a> From Jeff Alworth at Beervana.<\/p>\n

From Canada<\/strong><\/p>\n

– The Curious Case Of The Capitulation To Crafty.<\/strong><\/a> Same topic as above, adding Alan McLeod’s take on the news. I would not declare the “craft versus crafty” wars over, not as long as there is an app for that.<\/a> (Not sure I should even include that link, because the idea strikes me as so stupid.) [via A Good Beer Blog]<\/strong><\/p>\n

From England<\/strong><\/p>\n

– What closes a brewery? It’s probably the quality of its beer.<\/strong><\/a> Excellent analysis from David Turner, who is careful about overstating the value of a limited number of results, and dang interesting. It is very cheering to think this might be true: “Those companies that fail to provide drinkers with quality products are seemingly doomed to fail, while others that excel, innovate and possibly take risks, are more likely to be successful.” [Via Turnip Ale]<\/strong><\/p>\n

From Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Ratsherrn Taps The Keg on New Microbrewery.<\/strong><\/a> “You can do & brew whatever you want in here, but please don\u2019t forget I still need to be able to sell it!” [Via Brew Berlin]<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
