Bye everyone. Not that I post a lot, but this will be the last on this platform in its current form. Peace and love to you all. I'll do all my beery posting on the BeervanaPod instagram account.

Nooooooo!

Hotter, drier seasons are threatening the traditions of German hops growers, who are fighting to preserve a way of life — and the flavor of your favorite beer. nyti.ms/48copcS

Tragic

The McMenamins have been the most important influence in Oregon craft beer. From early beer styles to defining the OR brew pub aesthetic to re-imagining historic properties. I salute them. Bravo! oregonlive.com/beer/2023/07/q…

It is also pretty good beer.

@pdxubrew @Beervana Good idea, he is well taught by Lama Patrick.

Drinkflation! Brewers pocket millions by cutting alcohol in beers - Daily Mail apple.news/AqRNGMzjgT9yYd…

@Beervana @SkagitMalting If so, it likely speaks to the effect inflation is having on brewers’ ingredient choices. Trying to keep costs down. Blame Putin.

So @SkagitMalting is no more??? Anyone have details? This is disastrous news if true.

@tdmrussell @Beervana @meanwhilebeer And, yes, Edgefield is pretty darn nice, and we have a number of more rural options, but something urban would be great.

@tdmrussell @Beervana @meanwhilebeer I would so love a real seasonal beer garden here in Portland. I casually mentioned beer & food carts and tables in a fenced in space in Waterfront Park to Jeff. Wonder if it would actually work. The new cart pod on 5th looks promising, but a park-like setting is key to me.

Blind taste a dozen and a half mass market lagers, and you learn something about this much-maligned style. They don’t all taste the same, and in fact represent a surprisingly broad range. We made a few other discoveries along the way: beervanablog.com/beervana/2023/…

@BeervanaPod One of these two men knows a lot about beer. Hint: it is not the one on the right.

Show 180 is the 3rd in our blind tasting series. This episode is a prelims, with 18 mass market lagers. We brought a pro brewer into our ranks to help explain flavors and compounds. Hamm’s, Stella, Modelo? Only one can be champion! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bee…

@tobiashrsb Der Rathskeller und Der Stiftskeller! Both in the Union and both wonderful. If memory serves (and it has been in long time) it is the Stiftskeller that has the murals.

@Beeronomics Can’t agree more on the awesome terrace on the lake; a lovely place to enjoy a few beers. That beer hall inside, complete with German drinking song lyrics painted on the walls, is pretty cool too though.

You can take the boy out of Wisconsin…but you can’t take the Wisconsin out of the boy.

Ahh… Memories of Memorial Union Terrace on Lake Mendota. 🦡

Boil in beer and onion and finish off with a light grill (want them not to leak juice). Proper tekkers. You are welcome.
