The other day I was able to do something a beer geek dreams about - brew beer on a large scale.  Jason Lavery and Jason Lynch (Jason-squared) of Lavery Brewing Company allowed me to guest brew seven barrels of Liopard Oir.  As you might expect, it was quite the experience.

If you have ever brewed beer at home you can really appreciate the large scale brewing process because it really isn't a lot different than making a batch in your kitchen.  Sure the containers, hoses and…

We are in need of serious repeal of this outdated law that we have continued to accept as Pennsylvanians for no reason.....Corbett mentioned in his budget that he wants PA Govt out of the liquor business....perhaps that will include beer being sold by distributors and not letting big retailers into the market?

The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) is an independent government agency that manages the beverage alcohol industry in…

Attention beer fans!

I just added a new feature to the site - a video section.  You can add your own home videos of you and your friends enjoying a good brew or add in a favorite YouTube video.  I already added some clips I thought were worthy of sharing.



Are you not sure what to record?  How about a new beer review, a homebrewing success story or some video inside a recent brewery tour.  The easy answer is, it doesn't matter. 



So, get out the VHS…

If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Nortel stock a year ago it would be worth $49.00 now. Enron ? You’d have $16.50 left. WorldCom? - $5.00 whole dollars.…

Has anyone heard anything about an "International" brewfest this year? The one I attended last year was at Brewerie and I believe it was in November. It was all bottled beer from around the world. I'm hoping they do it again this year... great time. If anyone has the the scoop... please let know.

Thanks!
