The Monday before Thanksgiving is the traditional date that Anchor Brewery used to release their Christmas Ale (a.k.a. Our Special Ale), undoubtedly the first annual holiday beer in the silver age of brewing. For the last few years, it&#8217;s been released earlier, usually the first week of November. Last year I lamented that loss of [...]]]></description>

Originally, Iron City Brewing (f.k.a. Pittsburgh Brewing) claimed they were only closing the canning line, but it appears the whole kit and kaboodle is leaving Pittsburgh for the greener pastures of Latrobe. That&#8217;s another big loss of a historic brewery, one that&#8217;s been around since 1861. The Pittsburgh City Paper has a long, interesting article [...]]]></description>

If you&#8217;re like me, you love what I call &#8220;brewery porn,&#8221; which is photos of brewing equipment either installed or by themselves. So when I watched the film reboot of Star Trek, I was convinced that portions of the movie — the engineering deck — were filmed inside a large brewery. Sitting in the darkened [...]]]></description>

The artist for today&#8217;s ad was born in the Alsace, in 1873, in what is today part of France. But two years before he was born, it belonged to the German Empire, who had annexed it after the Franco-Prussian War that began in 1870. Why is that relevant? Because Jean-Jacques Waltz, better known as &#8220;Hansi,&#8221; [...]]]></description>

My friend and colleague, Pete Brown, who wrote Hops and Glory, tweeted this interesting editorial that ran on today&#8217;s Guardian Online, entitled Are Pubs Finally Becoming Hubs?. Definitely worth a read.

This has got to drive the anti-alcohol lobby nuts, and especially their medical co-conspirators who continue to insist that a binge drinker is simply someone who drinks five or more drinks in one session.

The FDA announced today that they&#8217;ve sent a letter to almost 30 manufacturers of alcohol drinks that also contain caffeine. The FDA is giving these companies 30 days to essentially prove that they&#8217;re safe.

The name Franziskaner today is most often associated with the Bavarian weiss beer brewed by Spaten, but originally it was a separate company known as Franziskaner-Leist-Bräu. The word &#8220;Franziskaner&#8221; means Franciscan, which is why there&#8217;s a monk on the labels nowadays. They merged with Spaten in 1922, so today&#8217;s ad is undoubtedly before then.

I&#8217;d like to second New York Times beverage writer Eric Asimov&#8217;s plea for the peaceful coexistence of wine and beer. In his blog, The Pour, on Tuesday Asimov wrote A Plea for Peaceful Coexistence, saying:

Today&#8217;s beer ad is another beautiful illustration, though I have no idea either what beer is being advertised but the artist is Herbert Leupin, a Swiss poster artist who lived from 1916 to 1999. This work was created in 1953. Whatever the brewing company, it&#8217;s a beautiful illustration. Perhaps if the King of Spades had [...]]]></description>

For today&#8217;s artwork we&#8217;ve gone almost as far away from the U.S. as possible, to Adelaide, Australia. Adelaide is the capital of South Australia, and is fairly large, with a little over 1.1 million people.

If you haven&#8217;t heard the word yet, Sacramento Brewing has closed its doors for good, as of Monday, October 19. It seems the economic downturn claimed another fine brewery.

So begins the website of beer cook Lucy Saunders, whose birthday is today. Lucy has done much to promote both cooking with beer and enjoying food with beer through her books and other writings. She&#8217;s a treasure, in more ways than one. [...]]]></description>
