Truth is sometimes I turn these lists into a post so I have the links saved for more careful reading later.<\/p>\n

  • Why Should Terroir Matter<\/strong><\/a> . . . from a speech by Randall Grahm. I don’t care about “saving” high end wines, but thought provoking. I suspect most of the time we should be happy with beer along the lines of vins d\u2019effort<\/em> (wines of effort) rather than vins de terroir<\/em> (wines that express a sense of place). Where<\/em> still matters in beer, but there must be a better word than terroir<\/em>. (From the guy who owns the domain name.)<\/li>\n
  • Danish shakeup.<\/strong> Knut Albert reports<\/a> Anders Kissmeyer, one of the pioneers behind the Danish craft beer movement, has been fired by the owners of N\u00f8rrebro Bryghus<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  • ‘I brew in A Major.’<\/strong> Mattias Hammenlind,<\/a> head brewer at Swedish microbrewery Sigtuna Brygghus is also a drummer in a hard rock band. “My brewing style is a mix of classical British and US innovation,” he says. Also, notice a sidebar with a guide to new wave beers in Sweden.<\/li>\n
  • Birra dell\u2019anno awards.<\/strong> Birrificio del Ducato has been chosen “brewery of the year” in Italy. All the results of recent judging,<\/a> including the best chestnut beers.<\/li>\n
  • Beerbot.<\/strong> The New York Times<\/em> introduces us to “robots designed to serve and cook food<\/a> and, in the process, act as good-will ambassadors, and salesmen, etc.” Head to the second page for the good part: “One entry, Beerbot, detects approaching people and asks for beer money. When it acquires enough, it ‘buys’ itself a beer. Bystanders can watch it flow into a transparent bladder.”<\/li>\n
  • Beer and oysters.<\/strong> In The Washington Post<\/a>. <\/li>\n

    Curling strategy.<\/strong> This chart<\/a> will make wagering easier the deeper into a match you watch.<\/p>\n
