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.

Recently my wife told me after almost fourteen years of being with me that my breath always stinks. This was the first time anyone had said anything about my breath and I clean my teeth religiously, so I questioned her claim. She reassured me that it wasn't like someone took a dump in my mouth, but my breath just always smells like bad food. I guess that's a fair claim. I could have ignored this paradigm shift in my life, but I decided to do something to correct the problem by searching on the interwebs for a miracle bad breath cure-all pill. I wasn't expecting to actually find a stank-be-gone capsule, but Amazon sells a probiotic that promotes healthy oral bacteria and reduces bad breath (I swear Amazon sells EVERYTHING). I bought a bottle and took a lozenge, which actually made my breath smell better. This might be great for my wife, but the added bonus for me is that it made beer taste even better.
