In many industries, through increased sales and overall globalization, multi-national corporations end up absorbing many brands under their umbrellas. This helps many companies distribute their products to the masses at lower costs, and tends to give consumers greater reach when choosing what to purchase. Through economies of scale, products become cheaper and more accessible.

Do you like sour beers? Have you tried more than a handful? Want more sour in your life?
Well pucker up buttercup.
The Inaugural Boulder SourFest was at Avery last weekend, and it was amazing. Tickets were very limited, but not very expensive. The first round sold out in a few weeks. Avery convinced some more brewers [...]
Drink faster.
That’s what one friend told me once, when I was researching different ways to store beer, or “cellar” beer. Let’s look at some alternatives.
First off, not all beer is meant to be stored long-term. Beers with “fresh” ingredients, such as a super fresh hopped IPA, generally aren’t as tasty two years down the road. [...]
“Hey, I need to write a blog post. Let’s go get beers.”
So starts my weekly need to visit a beer-related establishment.
This week we visited Pints Pub. It was a Wednesday night, and relatively quiet. Pints is a great pub, with about a dozen beers brewed in house, and a whiskey selection to make your head [...]
Last night a few friends and I visited The Cheeky Monk, a Belgian beer cafe on Colfax. This wasn’t the first visit for me, and it won’t be the last. The Cheeky Monk boasts an impressive selection of Belgian beers on tap, and a just as impressive assortment in the bottle. They also have a [...]
Last November, I had the privilege of attending San Diego Beer Week with some great friends. I won’t get into the details, but it was amazing. The Beer Wench has a nice write up on her blog all about our time there (all three posts can be found here).
My second night in town, we went to Stone [...]
A few weeks ago I talked about judging beer by it’s cover. I thought it would be fun to look at some labels that people suggested were really good or really bad. Or just plain ugly. Remember, this is a commentary on the label, not the beer.
Personally, I enjoy simplicity, most of the time. A [...]
I love beer. I really love really good beer. You might even consider me a beer snob. Or at least a beer geek.
And I’m a homebrewer. I brew really good beer (says me). And I really enjoy brewing.
In my beer exploration adventures, I’ve come to realize that not all beer geeks are homebrewers, and not [...]
This past weekend, some friends and I drove to Vail, Colorado, for the Big Beers, Belgians and Barley Wines Festival. After a lazy morning and a stop for some food, we arrived at the 8,150 feet about sea level base village. We had secured a hotel room at the Lionshead Inn on VailOnSale.com (definitely check [...]
Before reading this post, I highly advise you start playing this song. It was on the jukebox Wednesday night at Rackhouse Pub, and should be an excellent addition to your blog reading activity. If the link doesn’t work for you, search Tom T. Hall – I Like Beer.
Wednesday night, after work, I went to Rackhouse [...]
