Something exciting is happening in Cleveland and it’s that beer is bringing a bountiful amount of success to a failing neighbourhood. Great Lakes Brewing Company (not to be confused with GLB in Toronto) is one of many brewers that are drawing people and jobs back into the core of Cleveland.

Melissa Fong: Amsterdam’s solution: Paying alcoholics in BEER
I’m not gonna lie… sometimes cleaning is better when drunk. Like, if you’re going to engage in something that you will hardly remember the next day- why not cleaning? Yes, […]

It is an interesting story. An unusual illness. Drunk without drinking. Having a beer gut took on a new meaning for a Texas man studied by U.S. researchers, who found that his overgrowth of yeast in his body was making him drunk because he was brewing beer from within. (Rick

One of the few times that adding beer to the equation will make things better – an analogy between competition and diversity in the forest, and the supermarket. And no, you may not have a Dude Beer. : ) Filed under: Humour, Science Tagged: Beer, Biology, Diversity,

Most atheists are as irrational as those who believe in religion. And perhaps even more hypocritical. There’s no greater example of this than those vocal opponents of religion who criticize Christmas but in just a few months time celebrate St.Patrick’s Day and other religious holidays with unrivaled enthusiasm. St.Patrick’s Day

Beer is delicious so it’s exciting to find out that at least one brewery is out there using their delvious suds to help a threatened species. Pelican Pub & Brewery in Oregon are using profits from one of their beers to fund the protection of butterflies from encroaching development and
Continue readingThings Are Good: A More Eco-Friendly Way to Distribute Beer
Local Toronto brewery Steam Whistle has taken another step to green their beer (previously) by using growlers to serve and distribute their beer. A growler is essentially a large bottle of beer which can be refilled – and there’s the green aspect. By using growlers people consume less resource-intensive cans

… and give to a mighty worthy cause at the same time? You might remember some posts a while back about a wonderful young man – my wife’s cousin – who was ambushed by cancer. While Brian is now gone, his friends keep his memory alive by doing stuff like

A retarded Bloggin’ Tory maroon turns his acute sensibilities and keen perceptions of world events to the more demanding task of reviewing various kinds of beer… For some bizarre reason the unfortunately named Kretin feels the need to preface everything with “Holy shit” and interlace all of his observations with

A bunch of towns in the USA have had to close their manufacturing plants as free trade and the global economy transplant jobs elsewhere. This has left a lot of people unemployed and a lot of warehouse and manufacturing space open. The surplus of space has given a great opportunity to craft brewers whose sales […]

Not only does Canada Day start in Newfoundland ahead of everywhere else, but in at least one other statistically-proven department, it appears the rest of the country has some catching up to do…(Graphic from today’s Globe and Mail Report on Business)

A lover of beer. For males, what a cliche. But it is more than a passing interest. I will drive hours to experience micro-brew from the factory. I will sample any international brew – but I always return to the local. Once, I had disposible income and placed in stocks
