\nBefore linking to stories about the business of beer, issues of the day, whatever, a reminder that we pay such close attention because of what some people like to call the magic of beer. The aroma, the flavor, and perhaps how a splash of alcohol makes us feel. “Unsurprisingly, the Cantillon accentuates the tang of the ettekeis and of the gueuze, causing my saliva glands to hyperventilate and flood my mouth.” <\/p>\n
\nAnd one more for pleasure before getting serious. I would have missed it were it not for ReadBeer.com.<\/a>

\nNot new, but I saw it for the first time last week. h\/T Chris Hall<\/a>. “So Mikkeller, we\u2019re afraid it\u2019s you who doesn\u2019t get the joke. Because when you perpetuate the idea that a woman is an object, you are part of the same culture in which #MeToo incidents continue to happen.”<\/p>\n
\nSorry, this site cards you. But, dang, as I have typed before, a story that just keeps giving. And it includes this fact, “Since the (corn syrup) ads aired, Bud Light\u2019s sales have deteriorated further. America\u2019s top-selling beer was down 8.8 percent in the four-week period since the Super Bowl, plunging the brand farther into the red for 2019, according to Nielsen all-outlet and convenience data through March 2.” I’m curious how Miller Lite and Coors Light did during the same period.<\/p>\n
\nFor those who miss all the numbers Bryan Roth used to post at This Is Why I’m Drunk.<\/a><\/em> The conclusion will seem familiar: “It\u2019s quite apparent that this list does bear out the finding that higher ABV beers tend to be rated higher.”<\/p>\n
