Regular readers will have noticed that I regularly rotate out the beer related quote at the header of my blog. I have run across these pearls of wisdom from a few different sources, foremost being The Ultimate Beer Lover's Cookbook by John Schlimm. Some of these are pretty great, so I thought I would put them all together in the same place for anyone who is interested. Enjoy.

DrinkCraftBeer.com
Last night I went to a really good BBQ/house warming party at my friend Steve's house. That said, my drinking expectations for the night were pretty low. Beforehand there had been talk of a keg of Miller or Bud or whatnot, so Dan and I brought some Smuttynose, Fort Collins, and homebrews. And it would get even better.
At the party we ran into my college friend Devon, who I had not seen since graduation. Devon has been busy since I last saw him. For starters, he and a friend started DrinkCraftBeer.com. This is a really impressive blog so check it out now. I'll wait.

This is a really impressive blog so check it out now. I'll wait.They really do cover a lot of cool stuff: beer ratings, chat forums, beer and food tastings, homebrewing tips, beer trips and interviews with the brewers, you name it. I especially loved the posts about drinking local and the adventure of being a commercial brewer for a day. Talk about putting some legwork into your blog! These two really seem to have their fingers in a lot of pies. There is even talk of hosting a couple of upcomming events, something I certainly to hope to attend at some point.
I know I am really going to enjoy adding Drink Craft Beer to my blogroll and recommend you do the same.

Beer Wars Live
So a couple of weeks ago I had to go to the one-night event that was Beer Wars Live. This was to be a movie about the struggle for market share between the marcobreweries and the microbreweries, and interestingly, they decided to make this a one-night event, live across the country. As a result, you had a lot of Beer Advocates headed to the theaters with their own stash in tow (mine was a Dogfish Head Immort Ale that I had aged for 1 year -- excellent!)
I hesitate to even post about the movie since I am guessing most of my readers have not seen the movie yet and there is plenty of criticism of the movie on the other beer blogs. Nevertheless.
-- The producer of the movie was a woman named Anat Baron, whose experience in the "beer industry" was with a three year stint running Mike's Hard Lemonade. Not a good start. I think she was a real distraction to a lot of people, making the movie about Anat Baron and thrusting herself unnecessarily into the plot at every turn.
-- A focus of the movie was on the personal stories of two craft brewers heading in different directions, one succeeding wildly and the other struggling. Sam Caglione of Dogfish head played the first role spectacularly. But for some unknown reason (the need for a woman heroine?) the second was played by Rhonda Kallman, formerly of Sam Adams and now selling a gimmicky caffienated beer called MoonShot. Now for the audience of Beer Advocates who filled these movie theaters, this was a total joke. Rhonda was not a brewer, but a marketer, and a marketer of a horrible product at that. Anat would like us to feel sympathetic for Rhonda who was failing miserably, totally missing the point that Rhonda treats beer like a commodity just like the macrobrewers that this movie was railing against! I think this poorly conceived subplot ruined the movie for many serious beer people.
-- And then there was the live panel discussion that they aired immediately at the end of the movie. A neat idea, but it was pretty chaotic. Ben Stein was selected as moderator of the panel to seemingly everyone's dismay... and quickly revealed his disdain for small craft brewers. He couldn't wrap his head around the idea that anyone would enjoy making beer for any other reason than getting rich. The most memorable exchance was when Stein played a clip of Todd Alstrom of BeerAdvocate tearing apart the Moonshot product. Very called for, but without time to explain and the proper context, I think that Beer Advocates came off as lunatics to most people.
I offer these criticism's not to pile on Baron (I do appreciate what she was trying to do) but in the hope that the craft beer enthusiasts will continue to try to put their best foot forward. Even with these shortcomings, I would say the movie was probably a net gain for the craft beer movement, but it certainly wasn't the movie I would have written. In particular, it would have been nice for them to make more time for more craft brewers outside of the northeast (Deschutes, Oskar Blues, Jolly Pumpkin...) Hopefully someone in the film industry is taking note of all of this interest and criticism and we will be talking about the next beer movie soon...
Bottom-line: do check out the Beer Wars movie when you get the chance. And if you have seen it, please do weigh in on the comments section.

New glassware
I picked up a couple of new pieces of glassware this past weekend, which is always exciting. Now I already have pint glasses, several different steins, pilsner glasses, weizen glasses, a tulip glass, and a snifter. After a visit to Crate & Barrel, I can now add to that list, a stange glass, over-sized wine glass, and a flute.
I broke in two of these with a couple of nice beers from Founders: Red's Rye in the stange, and Curmudgeon in the over-sized wine glass. The stange did concentrate the head of Red's Rye as you would like, and the wide mouth of the wine glass did produce a big aroma from my old ale. Success! Time to pick up a Flanders to try out my flute, I suppose. Anyways, here was my take on Founders Curmudgeon.
Founders Curmudgeon
Bottle -- Cardoza's, Fall River
first beer poured into my oversized wine glass. attractive rosy/mahogany with lots of suspended particles. aggressive pour still yields minimal head. strong aroma of alcohol (to be expected at 9.8% abv) and sweet hops (50 ibu's). vanilla and oak notes too. after barleywine like appearance and aroma, i was expecting an overpowering hops and alcohol in the taste but it was much more nuanced... a good thing. piney hops and a candy sweetness in malts dominate flavor. was surprised to see the vanilla show up here too, but it works very nicely. well balanced. silky and almost light bodied. very much like a barleywine, but much more delicate than many extreme barleywines. a great beer, but not cheap if i remember correctly.
Score: 9

Rock Bottom hits, er, rock bottom
Well, I suppose I should begin with apologies for the title of this post. This was a piece of beer news that I had meant to pass along last week. Rock Bottom Brewery in Quincy closed its doors last weekend due to poor sales. As some of you may have remembered from my previous post on macrobreweries, I wasn't exactly Rock Bottom's biggest fan. But nevertheless. (It is worth noting that their brewpub in Boston's theater district remains open and is still "one of the company's highest performing restaurants.")
Of course, it goes without saying that it is a bad thing anytime you see 50 jobs lost. What I am curious about is whether this is a harbinger of things to come with the current recession: will craft beer drinkers pass by the Allagash showcase for an 18-pack of PBR? My guess is no, not unless you do lose your job. The craft beer market is growing too quickly right now and I think that just like movies, beer is a relatively cheap form of entertainment and therefore recession-proof.
One of my favorite beer bloggers, Jeff Alworth, of Beervana, came out with a poll on exactly this. While I do think the poll is inaccurate, it is nevertheless interesting that over half of the poll takers said their drinking habits had already changed. Here's to hoping that this was just a case of an inferior macrobrewery failing to make the grade in an increasingly competitive beer market.

Newsworthy
Two items that I would like to bring to everyone's attention. The first is this fascinating (if lengthy) article about the growth of craft beer generally, and the success of extreme brewing at Dogfish Head brewing specifically. As any returning reader knows, Dogfish Head is one of my very favorite brewers and the biggest inspiration for starting to brew my own beer. So take a few minutes and check out this writeup that appeared in The New Yorker this week entitled "A Better Brew."
Secondly, I am pleased to report that there is yet another site out there promoting the Great State of Maine's excellent craft beer scene! Please take a minute to check out the various contributors to the Maine Beer Writer's Guild.
Sadly, as a Massachusetts resident I am not eligible to join... but I hope to join forces with The Guild to combat discrimination against the clearly superior beers of our northern neighbor. As you will notice in the coming weeks, I am also going to make a better effort to share the writings of my fellow beer bloggers by linking to their sites. So enjoy!

Most Wanted List
When my parents and fiance hound me about what I want for Christmas, I typically respond with the word "beer." Apparently this wasn't specific enough, so here is a list of the ten (plus) beers I most want to try. I focused on beers accessible in New England... but that doesn't mean I would refuse a beer from Russian River, Three Floyds, or one of Sam Adams Utopias!
10 Most Wanted Beers
1) Allagash Interlude (or Curieux, Musette, Fluxus, Victor, Hugh Malone)
2) Avery Mephistopheles' Stout
3) Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye (or Racer 5 IPA)
4) Dogfish Head Raison D'extra (or Burton Baton, Chicory Stout, Fort, Black & Blue)
5) Lost Abbey Lost & Found Abbey Ale (or any other beer from them)
6) North Coast Old Stock Ale
7) Oskar Blues Ten FIDY
8) Shipyard Tremont Winter Ale
9) Smuttynose S'muttonator (or Farmhouse Ale)
10) Stone Vertical Epic '08 (or Old Guardian)

Updated beer scores
Today I wanted to run through a list of beers that I have already rated but upon drinking them again wanted to change my original ranking. Some of these changes are pretty drastic; no doubt the result of changing tastes as I experience more and more beers. The first of these adjustments may not seem huge, but Allagash White has made the leap from great beer to one of my absolute favorites.
Allagash White
Bottle -- Chris Gasbarro's, Seekonk
cloudy, yellow pour; nice head. i find many belgian beers smell similar, and this is no exception: yeasty, banana, and some mild spices. some faint banana in taste but it is really a gentle citrus flavor that defines this one. i like how spices like coriander and nutmeg are relegated to the background. fizzy mouthfeel, but incredibly easy to drink -- this is the strongest component of the beer. allagash white is the beer that taught me to appreciate belgian styles... high praise.
Original Score: 9
Updated Score: 10
Geary Pale Ale
Bottle -- Winebasket, Brockton
translucent orange color... hoppy aroma... bitterness up-front but balancing malts aren't far behind... smooth. a long time favorite that you will find in my fridge as often as any other beer.
Original Score: 7
Updated Score: 9
Gritty McDuffs Black Fly Stout
Bottle -- Cardoza's, Fall River
dark black pour with foamy tan head. smell and taste of roasted coffee, semi-sweet chocolate, hint of molasses... very carbonated, dry, and a little thin. taste was solid but points definitely deducted for over-carbonation.
Original Score: 5
Updated Score: 6
Gritty McDuffs Original Pub Style
Bottle -- Cardoza's, Fall River
light copper with big sudsy head that disappears quickly. aroma of citrus fruit and buttery popcorn. taste is lemon, bitterness, and a metallic tanginess -- awful. thin mouthfeel, high acidity, flat... not the qualities i look for in a beer. i remembered this beer very fondly but was extremely disappointed upon revisiting it. still love the name and idea though.
Original Score: 8
Updated Score: 4
Sam Adams White Ale
Tap -- Uno's Bar and Grille, Braintree
first of all, this is not a white ale... but once you get past that it is okay. my friends actually really like it, but i am not totally sold. pale pour with fresh, earthy hops emerging. taste has some bitterness, but otherwise pretty light and watery.
Original Score: 3
Updated Score: 4
Shipyard Longfellow Winter Ale
Bottle -- Maine
an american strong ale that they call a hybrid between a porter and a scottish ale. a surprisingly dark pour... molasses, roasted coffee aroma... caramel malts and chocolate come through in taste... well balanced, and smooth enough that you can drink a few of these at a time. especially enjoyable since a case of shipyard was my winnings from a bet with my friend nate...
Original Score: 6
Updated Score: 8
Shipyard Prelude Special Ale
Bottle -- Maine
i mentioned this before, but my dad really won me over on this one. (the mexican food i ate this with the first time through may have caused me to miss some of the interesting stuff going on here...) defined by warming alcohol and levels of complexity -- i bet this would age pretty well. one of my new favorites for a winter seasonal.
Original Score: 7
Updated Score: 9
Stone Coast Knucklebock
Bottle -- Walpole Wine & Spirits
the first rating was a sample at the end of the great international beer festival, so i am going to trust this one instead. lots of malts, as you would expect. pretty good but lacking in something. their beer names are a little cheezy too.
Original Score: 4
Updated Score: 6

Beer
So apparently, I am a blogger. And no, I don't know when this happened. For those of you who don't know me, I am not what you might call "technologically inclined." You see, I am from Maine. Which I think pretty much sums it up.
Anyways, I missed blogging. (If you haven't done so already, check out my previous two blogs: http://www.workingatwal-mart.blogspot.com/ + http://www.africaisnotacountry.blogspot.com/.) So I am starting this blog to write about my fetish for microbrewed beer, that is until I settle on a topic more worthy of my (and your) time.
I really discovered craft brewers back in 2004 in Portland, Oregon. And I really came to appreciate craft beer the following year while in Africa (watery, flavorless shit over there... go figure.) Since then I have steadily worked my way through the New England breweries, and over the past few months have started seeking out some of the best domestic craft brewers.
So I guess what I am hoping is that this will be a place for me to write about what I am drinking that week. More importantly, it will be a place for you to find a referral for a beer that fits your tastes. Beyond that I am not really sure how I am going to go about this, so bear with me.
And yes, I know that I have a problem. If you have a problem too, read on.
