I got a subscription to Draft last year because it was $5 on Amazon. I like the magazine, but they pretty much post the whole thing online and it will be much more expensive to re-up. I've gotten used to getting a beer magazine, though and would like to get another one for 2016. One magazine...

I should have posted this a couple weeks ago, but now I'm finally getting around to it. My girlfriend and I are going camping in Ithaca tomorrow. We are already planning to go to Ithaca Beer Co. and I think Hopshire Farm and Brewery looks like a cool place to visit but there are a bunch of...

I jumped on Midwest's buy one get free deal for plastic carboys the other week. When my two six gallon carboys showed up, I was distraught to find this: They were very good about replacing it, but they didn't want the old one back. So what do I do with this thing? I wish the defect was...

Hey guys, I'm currently planning a vacation in Germany. We're flying into Frankfurt, staying in Bamberg for a couple days… and still debating where else to go. I'll take any advice, but I'm really hoping to see some cool old breweries. I've toured a bunch of breweries here in...

I was talking to a cousin who homebrews at Christmas and he mentioned doing a honey ale using specialty grains and honey without extract. I didn't get a chance to ask more then and unfortunately don't see him often. I've been thinking about brewing for the Spring and this came back into my head...
