Hey we get it.  You're busy and you can't possibly hang with us 24/7. But still, we don't want you to be missing all the good stuff. So as part of our ongoing commitment to bringing you the best craft beer and lifestyle coverage on the face of the planet - and to keep you plugged into our ongoing recklessness - we do a weekly compilation of our recent good, bad and ugly.

So welcome to the first Friday Wrap-Up of 2016

We, the Average Joes at ACB, may not have full-time jobs brewing, selling or judging beer, yet if you knew just how AWESOME some of our real jobs are, you'd better understand why we spend so much of our free time drinking beer. It all goes to show that we take our research quite seriously and wish to impart the wisdom we've stumbled upon, in the hopes of making your free time as rich as ours.

Without further ado, let's drink in yet another chapter in our series, "What the Hell is a Cascadian Dark Ale?"

So many beers- So little time... Winter is undeniably here, and with it comes the beers of the season. And we have a number of interesting offerings that you'll want to chase down...We also have a new collaboration from Heavy Seas and Maine Beer that sounds serious as well.

2016 is ON... 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.

With all the disaster movies coming down the pike, ACB has you covered with what to pack in your emergency kit in case a real disaster strikes. Of course, it involves lots of craft beer.

Here is the conclusion to last week's article...and this one is even scarier!

So many beers- So little time... Winter is undeniably here, and with it the beers of the season. And we've a number of interesting new offerings that you'll want to chase down...We've also some new things from Left Hand Brewing  and Heavy Seas Beer that sounds pretty serious as well.

2013 will be remembered for the snowstorms that blasted the Northeast. Residents of towns like Branford, Connecticut were snowed in and without power for days. Many spent their days digging out - others succumbed and dug in - and the Dugas and Vigliott families spent their time together drinking beer and talking about what would eventually become the DuVig Brewing Company.

With half of the East Coast buried under mountains of snow and temperatures throughout the country in single digits, we thought it an appropriate time to discuss a subject a much overlooked category - Snow Beers.
