The California Winners of the 2012 World Cup

Every two years the best brewers are invited to come together and compete in the worlds most prestigious beer competition known as the World Beer Cup. With 54 countries entering almost a thousand more beers than 2010, this year's competition was bigger and badder than anything that we've seen before, and truly reflected the last two years' craft beer boom.

The Craft Brewers Conference

Next week is the Craft Brewers Conference here in San Diego. With over 2,600 brewing professionals in attendance, CBC12 is the ultimate in professional conferences. There will be lectures, demonstrations and roundtable mentoring sessions to chose from and I have had quite the difficult time trying to figure out which ones were of greater importance to me.

My thoughts on the Farm-To-Table craze

Fearful of the TGIF crowd or trying to make a quick buck? What's the sentiment behind buzz words like "locally owned" and "farm fresh"

DIY Juice to Booze Kit

13:57  Goat's Udder  2 comments

It's the cutest little airlock ever!!
This morning my dear friend and part time photographer @Indoctrinated had posted on my wall the coolest little gadget: The Juice to Alcohol Kit. If you want to get something that will give you the very basic experience of fermentation here you've got it. It's way cheaper than a homebrewing kit and it takes less time too! I know this isn't beer related but it's still kind of cool. The kit comes with a little airlock meant to fit a 64oz bottle of juice and little yeast packets. Pop the yeast into the bottle of juice, stick the airlock on and Voila! Within 48 hours you can have an effervescent beverage of up to 14%.  What a great new toy for all you mad scientists out there!

Have More Than Just One Beer In The Shower

12:31  Goat's Udder  1 comment


On occasion I find some neat ways of using beer. Here's to Duffy's Brew! Up there along with beer soap is beer shampoos and conditioners. Some women have already been doing this for a while, conditioning their hair with beer (it makes it shiny!!!). These 100% vegan suds are made from the finest ingredients including Seattle's Elysian Brewing Company's Stout! You can buy them currently on Amazon until their website is up and running and they have their full line online. Now you can have more than just one beer in the shower!
Their website should be up soon! http://www.duffysbrew.com/

Hoppy and Clean!

I have been known to take a beer into the shower with me on a rare occasion, but now you can do it without people thinking your next step is installing a garbage disposal in there a la Kramer: Beer Soap ($5 each!).
These lovely little soaps are made with all natural ingredients and will leave your skin soft from the suds. Very cute idea (and manly too). These little rounds come in Corona, Guinness, Sam Adams, Stella Artois, and Red Stripe. And don't worry, you won't smell like you woke up face down in a bush.
