American Craft Beer The Best Craft Beer, Breweries, Bars, Brewpubs, Beer Stores, And Restaurants Serving Serious Beer.
Yikes, July is just flying by… and clearly nothing is slowing down anytime soon. But no worries, Rumor Mill is always on the case, keeping you plugged in to all the craft beer news that matters. Plus we’ve an all-important update on what we’ve been drinking lately and you absolutely don’t want to miss that!
Major Beer Gig Alert! (Washington, DC) – Impress your friends and prove to your parents that all that beer drinking you’ve been doing might actually lead to something positive. The Smithsonian’s National Museum of History is now looking for a beer historian and are offering a $64,650 salary (with benefits) to that one individual who can prove that they know beer and are more than just a borderline alcoholic. This new opportunity is funded by the Brewers Association (so you can thank them for that) and the official job listing page has all the details you need.
The Butt Of An Occasional Joke (USA) – Yoga and beer are so trendy right now that it’s probably not surprising to learn that spandex yoga apparel leader Lululemon is releasing a limited edition beer. Brewed by Stanley Park Brewing, a 119-year-old craft brewer based in Vancouver, BC Courageous Blonde is a 4.8% ABV Radler with labels that look disturbingly like Shock Top artwork.
Words To Drink By (Palo Alto, CA) – “It doesn’t make sense to hire smart people and then tell them what to do…We hire smart people so they can tell us what to do.”

What We’ve Been Drinking Lately (Washington, DC) – We’d like to thank all the breweries who ship us beer from time to time. It’s always great to sample the brews that we write about and helps to give us a better feel for what’s happening out there. Last night we hit up something we recently received from Victory Brewing. The latest addition to their growing family of India Pale Ales, Victory Vital IPA is a 6.5% ABV celebration of Simcoe, Citra, and Chinook hops that doesn’t disappoint!
