Mutineer Magazine is a new publication based out of Los Angeles. It is about “all things fine beverage with an emphasis on wine, beer and spirits.” It’s going national soon, and is having their official launch this May.

Anyway, one of the features of the magazine is a section on beverage blogs. For issue four they focused on beer blogs, and one of the six chosen was your very own Hop Talk.

We’re in some very good company as well. The other five blogs featured are also ones that we read regularly.

• A Blog About Beer
• Lyke 2 Drink
• Beersmith Home Brewing Blog
• Dr. Wort’s Buzz-erk Beer Blog
• Beer, Beats & Bites

In addition to a brief profile are capsule reviews of three recent blog articles for each blog .

This is a very nice publication. In this issue is a nice in-depth look at the conservation efforts of Sierra Nevada Brewing. In non-beer topics is a lengthy article on Jones Soda and another on Zane Lamprey of Three Sheets fame. Here’s hoping that Alan Kropf and JJ Bagley can keep it up.
