Another Dork To Call Our Own
The Beer Dorks welcome another contributor into the fold with a trip to the Michigan Brew Brewers Guild Winter Beer Festival. I’m honored and flattered to be asked to participate as a true Beer Dork … I’ve been called that at worst for years now.As a Michigan native, I was weaned on Bell’s Beer—back before it was cool. Larry Bell, proprietor of the then Kalamazoo Brewing Company, was a fellow alum at the small, liberal arts college I was attending. At that time, I was fortunate enough to have secured a job at the local “Munchie … by Rings —published March 8, 2010 full article »
Beer On Ice
How frickin’ awesome was the Canadian women’s hockey team’s beer-drinkin’, cigar-chompin’, on-ice gold medal celebration? The International Olympic Committee has their undies in a severe bunch because the Canadian women’s hockey team drank beer and smoked cigars on the ice rink after winning a gold medal. The IOC announced they were going to launch an investigation into the actions of the Olympians involved. This from the same gaggle of dumbasses who, after a Georgian athlete fucking died on an overwrought luge track didn’t feel the need to announce even … by Eddie Glick—published March 1, 2010 full article » (10 comments)Super Suckfest
The fact that it’s a vehicle for shit beer ads isn’t the only reason why the Super Bowl is super crappy. I hate the Super Bowl. I know it sounds un-American, but don’t get me wrong: I love professional football. Whether it’s an intense, high-stakes showdown like the Saints-Patriots earlier this year or a crap sandwich between a couple of shit teams like, I dunno, the 49ers and Seattle, I’ll plop my ass down on the couch on a Sunday afternoon and enjoy it all while sipping a nice Midwest craft brew.But the media and … by Eddie Glick—published February 5, 2010 full article » (5 comments)
Live Every Month Like It’s International Month
Where, for one month, at least, we’re kind of like Magellan except with beer. And another International Month—colloquially known as “February”—is upon us at BeerDorks.com. This is the month that we expand our horizons not just outside our Midwest comfort zone, but outside the border itself to beers brewed in the nether (i.e. “non-U.S.”) regions of the world.We do this to shine a spotlight on some great beers you may encounter in your various ramblings across the countryside that you might not have heard a lot about, or … by Eddie Glick—published February 2, 2010 full article » (2 comments)
Sacrifices
Getting a skunked beer every now and then is a tiny price to pay in order to enjoy the wide varieties of splendor that is craft beer. So I got an infected beer the other day. How did I know it was infected? Well, first off, the bottle erupted like Mt. Vesuvius. But instead of liquid hot magma, it was, you know, foamy beer. Second, when I poured it, the beer foamed up WAY more than normal carbonation could have accounted for. And lastly, it smelled and tasted like someone had just squeezed an entire fucking lime into it. The rest … by Eddie Glick—published January 20, 2010 full article » (2 comments)Holy History, Batman!
Why is it big chunks of history about beer and brewing get not only ignored, but even denied?It’s a decent read. Brown, a British beer journalist, attempts to recreate the 18th century journey of India pale ale from the brewery in Burton-upon-Trent all the way to Kolkata (Calcutta). In other words, entirely by boat. A bit of a spoiler: he cheats. But probably not for the reason you’d think. … by Eddie Glick—published January 11, 2010 full article » (2 comments)
This Is Not A List Of The Year’s Most Interesting Beer Stories
Definitely, positively, swear-on-grannie’s-grave not such a list. So, another year has passed us by. We’re all that much closer to death. Yeah, thoughts like that make you wanna ponder the last 365 days, wonder where the time went, and hatch plots to make promises about next year that nobody in their right mind would intend to keep. And it also, for some reason, makes people think about lists. Not to-do lists, but lists of the best of this and the worst … by Eddie Glick—published December 30, 2009 full article » (3 comments)
