Last week on our blog:
- ammo went to Canberra’s biggest beer festival (who’d have thought there would be more than one)
- #20 and the exaggerated boxing metaphor
- ammo’s take on the “people” who grace your newsfeed
So, instead of talking about us for a change, have a look at this crowd-funded beer bookend (h/t ABN). I think the target is ambitious but certainly worth an $18 pledge.
In the meantime, if you insist on visiting other beer blogs, these posts were the best I read last week:
- CUB looking to revive/revise/expand its heritage range – The Shout
- Pub fund snaps up Elephant Arms and some Sydney pub – Fairfax
- Study: Beer’s Taste Alone Gets People a Little High – The Atlantic
- Micro-malting: Is ‘local’ a good enough reason? – Appellation Beer
- An introduction to saisons – Crafty Pint
- Scaling back and upsizing – the Madcap way – The BeerCast
- Despite all (my) expectations, VB is still growing – The Shout
- Everyone seems excited about Good Beer Week in Melbourne but what about Norwich: City of Ale? – Beer Beauty
- Staying in the old country: US craft beer: How it inspired British brewers – BBC
I got back on top of my PENT feed last week, so other than the unprecedented collapse in the gold price, here’s what I found interesting:
- Why Australia needs foreign ownership – Paul Wallbank
- Meet the First Digital Generation – Wired
