Saturday Musings

It seems we survived that dreaded October Friday the 13th. I visited the UPS store yesterday  and learned that yesterday is considered the ultimate wreck night. I pulled anything lose from the yard (lawn furniture, etc) and  stored them in the garage for the night.

It is a bit overcast right now, but rain is in the forecast here in Maryland. So, it is perfect weather to stay inside, relax and catch up on your reading. I’ve found a few articles about the beer world that may amuse you. Enjoy.

I’m a real sour beer nut. I love that twinge I get in the back of my jaw when I taste something really sour. I have embraced the breadth of the sour beer realm. Vinepair Offers a New Way to Talk About Sour Beers.

Just when I thought I’d heard everything, I came across this gem – Mystic Brewery’s new donut-infused beer. Z, this one’s for you.

I was surprised when I read that Why Alcohol-Free Beer Sales Are Rising in Germany. If you think about the easy drinking Shandy and Radner, both terrific German traditions, it does make sense.

This one is for my friend Christina, who is venturing off to London to work for a few years. If your new job doesn’t work out, Food & Wine offers an alternative in You could Work as a Professional Beer Taster at This London Brewery.

Once again, Maureen O’Prey has put out a wonderful article, this one about the impact breweries are having on neighborhoods.
