A Weekend of Beer Tastings Starts Tonight!

5. June 2009

When I wrote about the WYES Beer Tasting last year, I mentioned that while I loved the event and all the great beer, I was a little let down that event was short, and the quality of beer was a little too generic apart from the homebrewers. Apparently this got the attention of the folks [...]

America’s small and independent craft brewers are making special plans for the annual American Craft Beer Week (May 11-17), a national celebration highlighting the culture and contributions of American craft beer.

Avenue Pub hosts $12 Beer Dinner

I’ve been talking about all the wonderful beer dinners that have been taking place over the last year, but for many, the $50-$90 price range has been out of reach. Tonight, Avenue Pub will be hosting their first beer dinner, and at just $12 for three courses, it’ll be a more attractive option for many. [...]

Originally slated for September at Chef Greg Sonnier’s Uptowner, the Oktoberfest Beer Dinner was going to be the third beer dinner this year co-hosted by Dan Stein (beer geek and proprietor of Stein’s Market & Deli). But then Gustav came, and Ike followed, and the dinner was pushed off to a then-undisclosed future date. Now [...]

On Wednesday, September 17th, fans of wine, beer and cheese met at Cork and Bottle to settle an argument: Which pairs better with cheese? Wine or beer? Conventional thinking would say that wine of course would be the winner.. There’s food and wine magazines, entire tomes written on the pairing, and shops dedicated to just [...]

It was great to go to the WYES Beer Tasting at its ol’ home at UNO Lakefront Arena. Sure the 2006 Tasting at the then deserted Riverwalk was pretty nice (sunny and spacious!), but last year’s Tasting at Generations Hall was horrible .. I swear in that overcrowded mess of a venue there were actual [...]

WYES Beer Tasting - What to look forward to [Updated x2]

6. June 2008

I wanted to wait until the right moment to talk about the WYES’ 25th Annual International Beer Tasting. When they first posted the announcement with date & location, there wasn’t a vendors list, so there wasn’t much to talk about. And then by the time they did post the vendor listing, well, I kinda forgot [...]
