EVERYTHING wrong with Beer at this moment.<\/a><\/strong> It’s a list. That would be more obvious if each item had a number in front of it. But it’s a list, and proof that (contrary to the impression I might sometimes toss about here) not all lists are bad. A comment from Pete Brown provides a bit of balance, “But the petty debates only matter if you pay attention to them: the momentum behind beer is now bigger and more powerful than a bunch of bloggers and hopheads can have any control over.” (Thanks to Roger Baylor<\/a> for mentioning the comment — one disadvantage to saving things in Pocket and not revisiting posts.)

Thanks to anonymous supporters Stone Brewing reached goal of Groundbreaking campaign!<\/a><\/strong> The campaign received plenty of negative attention but blasted right through its one million dollar target. Lots of large contributions. “But it looks like that some retailers and some ‘anonymous’ friends helped out and bought huge amounts of cases of beer in the last weeks…. I bet that retailers and wholesalers from all over the world bought the beers to resell it to their customers for a higher price.”

The Wine Blogging Community Is A Joke (But It Doesn\u2019t Have To Be That Way).<\/a><\/strong> Is this true? “Because we (wine bloggers) are a joke of a community online, particularly when compared to our beer and spirits counterparts.”
