Vacationing in Colorado? Better Make It a Beercation

Summertime in Nebraska. Sweltering heat, drenching humidity, ever-changing weather. Especially in July - that's when the heat and humidity really ramp up. What better time to leave The Good Life and head one state to the southwest and into the sunny yet somehow still cool (or at least mild) climate of Colorado? That's why, every Fourth of July holiday, my family makes the journey across Nebraska for a weeklong beercation in Colorful Colorado.

The Price of Success – Reflections on Last Week’s GABF Rollout

Anyone who watches and enjoys pop culture knows that success and popularity can sometimes come with a brutal price.

Yes, We Can – Mobile Service Hits New England

Brewers of light beers have had a jump-start on canning since the mid-1930s, when Pabst, Coors, and Schlitz began distributing their wares in steel (which must have been rough on post-Prohibition party planners). By 1969, cans were outselling bottles for the first time, but it took until 2002 for craft to catch up. Why the long wait?

Summer Seasonals Dominate a Revitalized Oregon Brewers Festival

In the weeks leading up to the Oregon Brewers Festival - Brew Fest or OBF for short - there was a lot of controversy about the changes this year: no more plastic mugs and returning to glass, the pour sizes being 3 ounces instead of 4, another day added to the festival, etc. Within an hour of entering the hallowed ground of Portland's beautiful Waterfront Park, all the hubbub died, the taps flowed, the raucous bands enlivened the crowd, and the levity of the moment washed away the critics, leaving just a collection of beer lovers and the objects of their affection. The Fest was back and as great as it's ever been, if not better, for 2013.
