      When? Addendum

      When? Addendum

      I was already to write a post about beer social networks (particularly Pintley vs Untappd), but then so much news happened that, gosh darn it, I just have to post about it instead. Power Last week, I said: We’re getting an upgraded service from National Grid, but first they need to replace the current hole-riddled [...]

        A Lesson in Awesome Kegerator Façades

        A Lesson in Awesome Kegerator Façades

        Not too long ago I posted a photo of kegerator covered in chalkboard paint on our company Facebook page. Apparently I’m not the only one who likes the idea of turning a beer-dispensing fridge into a chalk-friendly canvas. Fellow Buffalonian and KegWorks customer/friend Marcus Palmisano recently gave his converted white Westinghouse kegerator from the early [...]

              When?

              When?

              Ethan got into this a bit earlier this week, but when writing weekly updates on what’s going on with the brewery it can be easy to forget that “construction is coming along nicely; look, coolers!” is interesting but has no real information on definite dates. This is partly because we don’t know any definite dates, [...]

                8 (Non-Beer Related) Reasons People Love Garrett Oliver

                8 (Non-Beer Related) Reasons People Love Garrett Oliver

                Everyone (or at least everyone I talk to about beer) loves Garrett Oliver, brewmaster of The Brooklyn Brewery. I could dive right into my list of reasons why but I think it’s worth sharing how this blog post idea came to be. Last week I attended a Mikkeller tap takeover at The Blue Monk (our [...]

                    Bailey’s Blonde Ale: A Pleasant Surprise

                    Bailey’s Blonde Ale: A Pleasant Surprise

                    I picked it up on a whim. I’d never even heard of it before but I was trying to pick out a few different styles that my boyfriend might actually dig. He’s a pretty rad guy but not much of a beer drinker, steering more toward macro lagers or sweet, pink Lindemans Framboise. Being that [...]

                      Squibs 5

                      Welcome to Squibs 5, the 2012 Tra-la-la edition. I write when the spirit moves me–ok, well, to be perfectly honest, that is a necessary but not sufficient condition.  I also need to have free time and can’t write these on my smartphone, so it’s also critical to have a real computer before me.  It all [...]

                        Cups Are For Balls. Use The Right Glass.

                        Cups Are For Balls. Use The Right Glass.

                        Using the proper glassware (instead of a red solo cup) not only makes you look more intelligent, but it allows you to better enjoy your beer, too. Don’t just take my word for it, though. You’ll have to try it yourself to truly experience the difference that beer in the proper glass makes. From the [...]
