Beer Blog Search eclipses 200 blogs

Posted on 12:00, November 12th, 2008 by Al

It seems every time I turn around, I find another site to add to the Beer Blog Search Engine. There are now over 200 blogs focused primarily on beer that are indexed for searching. How fast can we get to 300 do you think?

Anyway, here are some recently added blogs (in no particular order):

For more information on the Beer Blog Search Engine, see:

As always, if you know of any others that would be good additions, don’t hesitate to drop us a line.

Session #21 wrap-up: Favorite beer

Posted on 12:00, November 10th, 2008 by Al

The Session logoReal life kept me from participating in this latest version of The Session. Even if I’d had time to write something, it would have been extraordinarily difficult. The charge was to write about one’s favorite beer, but my philosophy is very much like Captain Hops’:

My favorite beer
Depends on the day, place, and
Cash in my pocket

I mean, depending on my mood, the ambient temperature, the environment I find myself in, or a thousand other possible factors, how could I possibly settle on a single choice? Matt, the sponsor at A World of Brews, suggests going with one’s “go to” beer. Trouble is that I have half-a-dozen of those.

Others didn’t have the same problem, though, and waxed poetical about a variety of brews.

The Session # 21 Wrapup

Twenty-one is a very important number, of course. It’s the legal drinking age in the United States. The Twenty-First Amendment to the Constitution repealed Prohibition. It’s also the best one can get in Blackjack.

Alright, so that last isn’t really beer related. Unless you’re drinking beer while you’re playing.

Appropriately enough, the next Session is sponsored by Twenty-First Amendment Brewery on Prohibition: Invitation to The Session #22

What recession? A-B posts third-quarter gains

Posted on 12:00, November 7th, 2008 by Al

In case you hadn’t noticed, the American economy is in a world of hurt. Ford just announced a huge quarterly loss and thousands of job cuts. GM and Chrysler are expected to do the same.

Anheuser-Busch, in the midst of being acquired by InBev, is doing just fine though. In the third quarter:

  • U.S. beer volume up 2.3%
  • U.S. revenue per barrel up 3.7%
  • U.S. sales to retailers up 3.6%

International sales were even better.

A look at Anheuser-Busch’s 3Q business

I’ve heard that beer is mostly recession-proof.

How about you? Have your beer purchasing patterns changed lately?

We studiously avoid political topics around here. Mostly because politics are divisive and we’re all about togetherness.

However, today is Election Day in the United States, and I encourage every American to do his or her civic duty.

Then, later, as the results come in, drink a beer to celebrate. Or, if things don’t go your way, at least you’ll have a beer to cry in.
