A few things to read this evening instead of watching “Dancing with the Stars” or “Two Dudes Catering” (even though cheese is involved) and perhaps while doing research for The Session #10<\/a>:<\/p>\n

– Andrew Jefford, multi-purpose UK drinks writer, asks a question<\/a>. <\/p>\n

One day, fortunes will be made with fine beer. Why not one day soon?<\/em><\/p>\n

In case you overlook it, he makes a great point: “all wine is able to profit from the locomotive effect of fine or great wine: the existence of fabulous bottles enables more ordinary bottles to bask in a little of their allure. Whereas, for most beer drinkers, great beer doesn’t exist.”<\/p>\n

– And what might be a fabulous bottle?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many would say Lost Abbey’s Angel Share (and I won’t disagree). Look at the ruckus Saturday’s release (and almost immediate posting on eBay) caused at Rate Beer<\/a>. You’ll find reviews at Rate Beer, or at Summer of Beer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lost Abbey’s Tomme Arthur explains<\/a> where all the bottles went and the behind-the-scenes volunteer effort involved. <\/p>\n

\"Savor\"– The Brewers Association has more information about SAVOR: An American Craft Beer & Food Experience<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It would appear somebody has been reading Andrew Jefford.<\/p>\n

The part beer drinkers care about: “Tickets for each of the three sessions (May 16-17) are limited to the first 700 ticket purchasers. The $85 ticket includes a commemorative tasting glass, souvenir program and Craft Beer Taster’s Commemorative Journal, fabulous food and craft beer pairings, seminars, and 2- ounce samples of specially selected craft beer.”<\/p>\n

And what beer will be there?<\/strong> 48 breweries from eight regions will participate. The BA will randomly select five breweries from eight regions of the country, plus eight supporting brewery sponsors, to participate in the event. It’s a lottery, with winners announced in December. <\/p>\n

– Dr. Vino partners on a paper to calculate the carbon footprint<\/a> of wine. I’m hoping somebody does this for beer (because I’m too lazy). Notice the “green line” that runs from Ohio into Texas, because east of there wine from France leaves a smaller footprint than bottles from California. Think the same is true of beer?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
