\"MillionWe’re headed north in the morning (attention burglars: somebody will be watching our house), eventually to Montana and Wyoming because my brother’s son is getting married in a week.<\/p>\n

While we’re off looking for cowboy neon signs hanging on old bars (maybe even old saloons) here are a few links I’ve been meaning to pass along. (The photo on the left is was taken in front of The Million Dollar Cowboy Bar<\/a> in Jackson, Wyoming. A place your really should visit before dropping by Snake River Brewing for excellent beer.)<\/p>\n

  • If you can’t trust your own taste buds whose can you trust?<\/a><\/li>\n
  • More from our trip to New Orleans and NOLA Brewing’s 7th Street Wheat,<\/a> another beer that illustrates “American Wheat” should not be called a style.<\/em><\/li>\n
  • I stuck thoughts about “cloning” Westmalle Tripel<\/em> at Brew Like a Monk<\/a>, but if you are curious why it tastes like it does . . . <\/li>\n
  • Probably should have anticipated something silly like this. Seamus Campbell writes<\/a> “I have learned that the August issue of Reader\u2019s Digest borrows from our results to construct a list of ‘The Twelve Best American Beers’ \u2014 the dozen beers listed all being 9-point scorers in The Beer Trials.<\/em>” And then notes why this might not be so good. “The best-scoring beers in the book are, of course, merely the best-scoring of the beers we tasted.<\/em> And make no mistake, there are a lot of beers we didn\u2019t taste.”<\/li>\n
  • British economists say real ale drinkers offer “economic inspiration.”<\/a> Don’t be put off that the report begins, “It’s not often beer drinkers are role models.”<\/li>\n
  • I have resisted writing (and pretty much reading) about all that surrounds BrewDog’s latest. But “BrewDog’s Next Beer: Ahab’s Undoing<\/a>” had me at “implanted into the abdomen of a live sperm whale.”<\/li>\n
  • As I type this, a thread at Beer Advocate titled “Professional Brewers discuss BA and RB<\/a>” has elicited 148 replies. Perhaps time for them to consider NEW BEER RULE #8:<\/a> Always take beer more seriously than yourself.<\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
