My Gaming Donation to Johns Hopkins Children’s Center
This is not a beer post, and for that I apologize in advance, but I had nowhere else to share this story. My basement needed a good cleaning and I needed to free up some shelf space, so I decided it was time to purge some old stuff. I had a ton of old game consoles and video games, but I didn’t really want to go through the hassle of selling them online. My brother had a great idea, donate them to a children’s hospital. I made a few phone calls and found that Johns Hopkins Children’s Center in Baltimore, MD would be...

read moreChain Restaurants Look to Craft Beer
Big beer is getting the squeeze from big restaurants. No longer is big beer the dominate tap handle at your local chain restaurant, instead these establishments are increasingly turning to craft beers for their beer selections. More signs that American culinary tastes are changing, or perhaps becoming more diverse: 15 Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG +2.24%) restaurants in Chicago have begun to sell locally-made “craft beers” on a trial basis, theChicago Tribune reports. Earlier this year, the pasta restaurant chain...

read moreRaise A Toast To Building Better Beer Bubbles Through Chemistry
Want a better, longer lasting head on your beer? That might now be possible. It seems that it is a particular gene in yeast that give beer it’s head. Scientists may have finally solved a problem that has plagued beer drinkers for ages: Insufficient foam resiliency. As any beer drinker can tell you, a tall glass of lager without a white, foamy head on top just doesn’t look right. And even if you start out with one, it can dissipate fast. And that’s just sad. Now, microbiologists have identified the...

read moreIs Pot Beer on the Horizon in Light of Colorado Marijuana Legalization?
So as many of you may already know, hops (Humulus lupulus) and marijuana (Cannabis sativa) are both in the family same family (Cannabaceae). We even have a shirt stating this fact: So with the two plants so closely related, and marijuana now becoming legal in Colorado (and Washington), it surely is only a matter of time before someone creates a commercial “pot” beer. A beer that will get you drunk and high sounds like a lethal combination, but it could be bubbling up in your neighbor’s garage. With the move by voters...

read moreBears Fans Drink Nashville Bars Dry
Da Bears…Or rather…Da Bear fans. It seems the Chicago Bears fans have a penchant for drinking. When the Chicago Bears routed the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, they were cheered on by scores of Bears fans at LP Field in Nashville. Orange and navy jerseys filled the stadium, and chants of “Let’s Go Bears!” broke out several times throughout the Bears’ 51-20 win. Nashville wasn’t quite prepared for the many Bears fans who descended on its town, as bars ran out of the beer. NBC Chicago...
