New Episode: San DeWitt of the Brewers Association talks about how state laws affect our favorite beers

Craft beer lives and dies by state alcohol policy, even when most drinkers never see the rules. In this conversation with Brewers Association state affairs director Sam DeWitt, we dig into how craft beer legislation works across all 50 states and why it often feels nonpartisan: lawmakers like breweries as community hubs, tourism drivers, and […] The post New Episode: San DeWitt of the Brewers Association talks about how state laws affect our favorite beers appeared first on Florida Beer News .

Rauchbier – Jar of Destiny

The Jar of Destiny handed us Rauchbier, a smoked beer style that can be intense. I have brewed smoked beers before, but they can easily become overpowering. This time, Mike aimed for balance and restraint instead of full smoke dominance. The goal was simple: keep the smoke present, but let the base beer shine through. […] The post Rauchbier – Jar of Destiny appeared first on Brew Dudes .

Affordable Tempranillo: Discovering 2018 Campo Viejo Rioja Reserva

Get Your Goat

Goodness me, it has been a while. This last weekend, Mrs V was up in Washington DC for the annual American Montessori Society conference, she being a Montessori teacher and all that. Thus it was that it was just me and the twins from Thursday night through until Sunday afternoon when she got home. What to do though with a pair of 8 year old boys with sufficient energy to power a small city, especially on Saturday, as they had school on Friday. Thankfully I got a text during the week from a Welsh friend asking if we fancied taking our combined brood of children for a hike or some kind of adventure, followed by chilling out at a brewery given that the weather was supposed to be glorious. Spoiler alert, it was. We settled on visiting Luray Caverns, a karst system in the Shenandoah Valley, not too far from Harrisonburg, which is one of the most beautiful cave systems we have ever visited. This was the second time the twins and I had been, but the first for our friends. Having wandered thro

Easter foods & wine

Easter foods & wine The long Easter weekend is a great time for getting together with family and friends. It’s an excuse to celebrate after the long winter months and perhaps splash out on some great wine and food. There is no one specific Easter dish in the UK so in this blogpost I look at a number of main dishes served up and down the country and make suggestions for wines that will complement if not enhance your Easter dinner, lunch or brunch. Note that it can be difficult to find wines to complement all the different flavours in some dishes. First rule of thumb is to match the richness and weight of the main dish with the body of the wine; so that means richer dishes with heavier, fuller-bodied wines and light foods with lighter wines. WINE FOR EASTER FISH DISHES My local fishmongers tell me that the tradition of eating fish on Good Friday is less adhered to these days but this doesn’t stop them having one of their busiest days of the year on Good Friday. If you are going to have a
