jack handy stolen from a friend's facebook wall: “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes & dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, 'It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than to be selfish and worry about my liver.' ”

while i'm not a fan of the pepper lime i am a fan of several of their other beers and encourage all y'all to hit up dead frog's open house in abbotsford on the 21st when they launch the summer mixer which includes the pepper lime alas i will be working while all the fun happens someone please go enjoy a free sample for me!

look what else i got for christmas!! (why do people have the impression that i like beer??)

samuel adams believes they've created the perfect beer glass i like the theory behind it, sure but i gotta get me one before i jump right in and believe all the hype! "the sole focus of this glass is to maximize the flavor of samuel adams boston lager." jim koch, brewer and founder for the specs, click here . i could have picked one up when i was at the beer festival but i didn't want to have to carry it around with me and its not like i drink the boston lager a lot maybe if it was the perfect ipa glass i would have made the sacrifice

new tees and glassware over at brewdog !

happy birthday to me! among many other fabulous gifts from my nearest and dearest (including beers i will proceed to review as i manage to drink them) i received this lovely beer glass: (that says Howe Sound Brewing Devil's Elbow India Pale Ale if you couldn't actually read it) yay!  i love beer glasses!  i have quite the collection started.  notice i said started!

an ipa is shown off to its best advantage in either of these types of glassware: stemmed tulip - the inward taper holds aroma, the outward flare supports the head and fits the lips, the stem keeps the beer from warming up too quickly dimpled pint - comfortable, the lens design makes for great light play on the contents, and they're sturdy enough for repeated cheersing pint glass - easy to drink out of, the bump makes it easier to hold snifter glass - deep incurved rim and small stature make it perfect for serving strong ales (like imperial or double ipas) and capturing aromas wine glass - yes you read that correctly, a large wine glass's size allows for headspace, while the open bowl creates an amazing nose (and you might just have a great conversation starter with a wine drinker) to find glassware, visit amazon for more on glassware, visit beeradvocate
