Beer Blogs and Websites

Here's links to my current favorite batch of beer- or cider-related websites and blogs http://www.singingboysbrewing.com/The-Links.html

Do you have sites or blogs that you enjoy? I'd appreciate your recommendations.

I moderate The Screwy Brewer website so of course I recommend it to anyone interested in brewing their own beer.

Cool, I've never used a Mr. Beer kit -looks like your site is a great effort to help Mr. Beer homebrewers! I'll add it to my links the next time I update!

I have a new blog about home brewing and craft beers...off to a slow start, but I love writing about beer. http://passionforthepint.com/

madfermenationist is good. northernbrewer.blogspot.com as well.

Hi Mike, thanks for the link to your blog. I took a quick look around and it looks interesting. Your coffee blog looks interesting, too! I'll add links next time I update!

I noticed you have it linked to a facebook page and I'm curious about why you do that and how you use it? My little website is really only intended for family and friends, its been getting about 40 visits a week (not including my clicks) and in the last week got a little over 100 (apparently people were curious about my hops planting). I'm wondering if you do the facebook page to drive traffic to your blog? I've just been posting a link on my personal facebook whenever I update my site.

The Mad Fermentationist is one of my two favorite websites - definitely recommended reading!

Thanks!

I use it so people can stay connected with my blog. For a lot of people, including my family and friends, they're a lot more likely to check their Facebook every day, than my blog. Plus, for a lot of people it's easier for them to leave a comment on Facebook than on the actual blog. For my coffee blog, it started off slow, but now it's one of the best traffic sources for my blog.

Well out of my friends I drink/try the most kinds of beers and while I used to post pix or personal reviews of them on my food blog, I figured, why not just start one just for the beers. While it isnt as 'professional' as most, it serves as a personal diary of sorts for the beers: http://www.brewsauce.com/

Its been fun doing it and some of my closer friends have actually started to move away from the macro beers into the world of good beers

Mad Fermentationist is great as is Beervana and pints and panels. I have my own www.earlybirdbrew.com which I tend to recommend as well.

Feel free to check out our's if you'd like : http://www.thebrewguys.com

It's a relatively new site, so it's mostly news stuff at the moment. There are actual brewing articles in the works. Cheers!

Very interesting blog - thanks for sharing it. Jaysus, are you Lew (the author of the blog)?

I'll add the Session Beer blog when I next update my site.

Thanks, I enjoyed your blog about the beers you've tried. Do you have a link to your food blog? I don't read a lot of cooking blogs, but I do read a bread baking blog and a slow cooker blog.

Great site, Shane, thanks!

I'm not big on blogs, but I really like watching videos. These two are pretty well known here on HBT, but they're my picks:
Brewing TV and Home Brewer TV

um... www.HellBentBrew.com

It's a little slow right now but that should be changing shortly. We brew our own beer and do reviews of other beers we like.

I think http://smokebubbles.wordpress.com is a pretty useful site.

Then again, that's my site, so I am a little biased. ;P

I've been on hiatus from brewing for a while but looking forward to getting back to it this spring.

Yea, Like I said I do these for my personal enjoyment so please forgive me for any informalities you might find. The food blog though is http://www.alexsgrub.com/

Thanks for including the Screwy Brewer site on your blog. I am an avid brewer and the site continues to be my online repository for all my brewing sessions. Since the early days of brewing using Mr. Beer extracts recipes I've more recently covered steeping grains with extracts and now all grain as well.

I have created many useful DIY articles on building everything from mash tuns and stir plates to fermentation chambers and installing beer taps in a refrigerator. The articles and projects are based on real experiences that I have built or brewed and include tons of helpful information and plenty of photographs too.

The April 2011 qBrew database download is now available now for free at Download qBrew April 2011 Database Update (qbrewdata). There is even a video tutorial for all the MAC users out there that shows how easy it is to install and update qBrew with the latest ingredients database.

Focused on SF beer and restaurants (even though I live on the other side of the country it's still cool.) Great photography and content.

I used to travel to SF regularly, but haven't been in about 20 years - I miss that place.

I run a beer review site that covers some homebrewing topics. Link in sig.

I like your site, but can't find an RSS link anywhere. Point me in the right direction so that I can keep up with it?
