ACB covers craft beer news, entertainment and lifestyle 24/7, and we'd like to think we do a decent job. But there's a lot of great craft beer journalism out there - and were constantly running into articles that we wished that we'd written. 

So welcome to another ACB Newswire - recent articles that we've enjoyed - and thought you might as well.

The online travel site GoEuro recently calculated the cost of buying a beer in cities around the world and we had some fun with it recently in our "ACB Travel Guide - The Price of Beer Abroad." But since many of you won't be traveling overseas this summer - but will be enjoying beer in many of America's great cities - we thought you might need a little economic heads-up as well.

So here's what GoEuro says are the five most expensive American cities to drink beer in.

We blame the industry for this... It used to be that when we wrapped up our Weekend Picks on Friday, we could coast through the weekend. There was little need to check in for updates - things were pretty much done. But clearly all that's changed.

Happy Birthday America! The Fourth of July is almost here and much of the country has already bailed on work and is in total holiday mode. Independence Day first and foremost commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. But it's also a time for friends and family, parades and barbecues, concerts, baseball games and parties.

And needless to say it's a great time for drinking beer. 

So many warm weather beers - So little time. Summer is here - and so are the beers of summer. And one of the things we enjoy most about the season are all the creative variety 12-packs that hit retail at this time of year... And here are some of our favorites.

For the last thirteen years, the American Homebrewers Association (AHA) has run an online poll asking its members to vote for up to 20 of their favorite commercial beers. Zymurgy, the journal of the AHA, has just released the results - and in case you don't get the mag, we've got all the relevant news bytes for you.

We can't believe it's June already...So much has happened this year and it doesn't appear that things will be slowing down any time 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.
