from stone: Our Favorite Overseas-Inspired  IPA Returns! You may recall the herbaceous, bitingly hoppy fund-raising IPA we brewed four years ago to help provide relief for Japanese earthquake and tsunami victims. And if you do, we know you loved it every bit as much as we did. We originally brewed Baird/Ishii/Stone Japanese Green Tea IPA  with our friends Toshi Ishii, owner of Ishii Brewing Co. in Guam, and Bryan Baird of Japan's Baird Brewing Company , and we couldn't be happier to announce that it's back with the original crew on board. The recipe has been updated slightly, using a new Australian hop variety, Helga, in place of 2011's New Zealand Pacifica hops, but the 2015 version is still packed with all of the unique flavor combinations that you loved the first time around. This spectacular, tea-infused IPA will set sail beginning Monday, January 12. You can prepare for its arrival by watching the new video  and reading up on the tast...

from sixpoint brewery: We can all admit it — a Season Creep lurks among us. He calls, quietly at first, for his seasonals a bit earlier. A saison in January, summer wheat in April… it seems harmless at first brush. Blink twice and you’re standing on your buddy’s front porch, holding the pumpkin beer you just brought to his Fourth of July party. Enter Global Warmer, an original Mad Scientists creation formulated in a garage laboratory. It has brazen, incandescent hop character, and enough rich red malt to warm you through any time of year. It doesn’t even matter how mixed up the seasons get — wear a scarf with short-shorts if you want, we don’t mind! — this is authentic beer crafted to highlight beer’s natural elements. Global Warmer is part of Sixpoint  Cycliquids , a beer series that lets us make the beer we want, when we want it. It’s hoppy, malty, and now in six-packs. Savor one and watch the Season Creep slink away. Photo credit Greg Montijo ( @craft2...

i am back from my very quick trip to onterrible i wish i could tell you i drank a whole lot of great beer and discovered fab new places to drink it but i'd be lying i was not on a beercation and so my time available to devote to the nectar of the gods was precious little i did manage to get to amsterdam brewhouse on toronto's waterfront and pick up a few brews at the lcbo to enjoy during family time  amsterdam brewing is the low brown building at the left of this photo amsterdam brewing: the building is right on the water with a huge patio wrapping around it the service is friendly and the servers wear actual clothes, so that's nice downsides: they were out of half of the beers on the menu apparently they are running at capacity and can't keep up with demand i think maybe they should keep the brewpub stocked though, before the lcbo, since people are coming out to see the brewery and drink the beers - effort that should be rewarded by actually hav...
