Bad news. I stepped on the scale and I’ve gained a pound this week. Following the rules of the Beer Diet, I will not be drinking beer this week. Nooooo……

This is a temporary bump in the road on the Beer Diet. This was a week full of social activities: a homebrew Pint night, one evening visiting Black Flag; Maryland Homebrew with Beer Historian Ron Pattinson; and Sapwood Cellars, plus two big dinners with friends. I am still determined to forge ahead with the plan. Plus, I will cycle a bit more and re-start my swimming routine.

Just like every Saturday, I’ve found a few nuggets of craft beer news to peruse this weekend. Relax, savor your favorite ale, and enjoy.

Drink up now. Smithsonian Magazine predicts beer will disappear, thanks to climate change.

I really haven’t tried many of them but Food & Wine has a few beer cocktails suggestions. Please let me know what you think of them.

Check out VinePair’s History of Lager Beer in America.

Cheers!
