I was researching the history of my hometown earlier, curious as to whether or not there may have been some breweries here in the past. Sure enough, I came across a reference to a long defunct firm called The Eberle Brewing Company which was established in the late 1800s in Jackson Michigan and...

Had the opportunity last night to sample Deschutes Brewery Black Butte Porter while at the grocery store picking up some last minute stuff for New Year's Eve. Not only had I never heard of this brewery before last night, it was also the very first example of a porter I have ever tasted. I was...

Don't know if any of you have heard this one yet or not, but apparently some guy is all butt hurt over "misleading advertising" because he discovered that Foster's isn't really brewed in Australia, and has threatened a class action lawsuit against Miller Breweries, who now owns the brand...

Winter has arrived here in Jackson Michigan. Ten to twelve inches total expected between tonight and tomorrow morning.

Wife and I took the kids to the last day of the Michigan Renaissance Festival yesterday and spent the entire day there. Wee bit on the cool side but that didn't stop me from donning my kilt and proudly representing Clan MacDonald. :mug: Just as SWMBO was taking my picture, somebody bumped her...

Heads up to anyone who drinks Angry Orchard. Just saw this on the web. There is a recall on Angry Orchard due to exploding bottles. Apparently the cider is re-fermenting in the bottles, and causing them to explode from the excess carbonation...

I got hooked on Leinenkugel's Kolsch style beer called Canoe Paddler after sampling some recently, so I decided to formulate a Kolsch for my own homebrew enjoyment. According to what little bit of info I was able to glean from Leinenkugel's website, they include a bit of rye in their recipe. I...

Ok, here's my dilemma...I'm considering venturing into all grain brewing at some point in the near future, and I've thought about purchasing a Blichmann BrewEasy for that purpose. However, I've seen a lot of conflicting viewpoints regarding the BrewEasy. Some people say they're great, others...

Been lurking on this site for quite awhile, finally decided to take the plunge yesterday. I've been homebrewing for quite a few years, but as I have twins on the way later this summer along with having to get ready to move into a bigger house, (going from a family of 4 to a family of 6!) I...
