THE AMERICAN CRAFT BEER – QUICK HITS

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.

So here’s some of what’s happened in the world of craft beer while you were off enjoying yourselves

Drinking Beer Makes Men Better At Sex (NYC) – The New York Post is reporting that “A sex expert has found that drinking a few cold ones before making whoopee will help you perform better in bed.” Clinical sexologist (and master of her domain) Dr. Kat Van Kirk explains that a couple of beers can lead to more intense erections and can even help prolong ejaculation.

Which Beer Clubs Are The Best? (Everywhere, USA) – Beer clubs are a developing segment of the craft beer market – and like many of you – we’ve wondered about these businesses. How do they work and what’s a membership cost…and are they even worth getting involved with?

Words To Drink By (Los Angeles, CA) – “”Be proud you can do one thing well…most people can’t even do that.”                                                         Bob Lefsetz – Music Analyst & Writer

 

 Bed & Breakfasts For Beer Lovers (Everywhere, USA) – A tourist site that caters to B&Bs has picked what they think are the Top B&Bs for Beer Lovers. Factors that determined their choices included things like the lodgings proximity to top-notch beer trails, whether they brewed their own beer (some do!) or if they offered creative beer lovers’ packages.

We’re not kidding these things are total mind-fuck to deal with the first time around.  But check out this clever how-to video from New Republic and you’ll soon understand how to master this “can-nundrum.
