‘BEER WARS’ HEADS TO HOME SCREENS
BELGIAN BEER BLOCKADE LIFTED
BELGIAN BEER BLOCKADE LIFTED
A blockade that threatened to strangle supplies of top Belgian beers to home
and neighboring European markets ended in late January, after management and
unions said a compromise was reached. Workers barricaded Stella Artois,
Jupiler and Hoegaarden breweries for two weeks to protest owners
Anheuser-Busch InBev's plans to cut 10% of its European workforce.
". . . the unions and management will start from scratch with meetings of the works council that will deal with problems site by site," union representative
Tangui Cornu said. The protest action began after the group announced on
Jan.7 that it planned to cut around 800 jobs in western Europe.

The first shot for the Beer Revolution was fired at the state capitol on Tuesday, February 16, 2010. The battle's commander-in-chief, Sen. John Rafferty (R-Montgomery) and hundreds rallied to take the first step to change Pennsylvania's beer laws. Now, we need you to enlist and to contact your own legislators to ask them to support Rafferty's beer bill. Join the Better Beer Laws Campaign so that you can buy beer in your neighborhood convenience or grocery store. Contact your legislator now.

HARRISBURG BEER RALLY
by KYW's Tony Romeo 2/16/10
Supermarket and convenience store workers rallied on Tuesday at the state capitol in Harrisburg, in support of the right of their employers to sell beer in Pennsylvania.
Backed by a fife and drum corps, dozens of supermarket and convenience store workers –- many of them on the clock -– carried signs at a rally pushing another attempt by lawmakers to relax laws governing beer sales in Pennsylvania.
State senator John Rafferty (R-Montgomery, Chester, Berks) thinks the Wegmans supermarket chain, which has zero violations for alcohol sales to minors, has the answer:
“They have a 100-percent carding policy. You need to show an ID an order to purchase alcohol in a Wegmans. That’s going to be part of the legislation we’re introducing.”
In addition to allowing grocery stores to sell beer, Rafferty’s legislation would also allow beer distributors -- who currently have to sell beer by the case or keg -- to sell six-packs.
Restaurants and taverns, currently limited to sales of two six-packs, would be allowed to sell from a six-pack to up to a case.

Sink the Bismarck! is beer, amplified. With the volume turned full up, it is important you that you be careful with this beer and show it the same amount of sceptical, tentative respect you would show an international chess superstar, clown or gypsy.Sink the Bismarck is a quadruple IPA that contains four times the hops, four times the bitterness and frozen four times to create at a staggering 41% ABV. http://www.brewdog.com/index.php
This is IPA amplified, the most evocative style of the craft beer resistance with the volume cranked off the scale. Kettle hopped, dry hopped then freeze hopped for a deep fruit, resinous and spicy aroma. A full out attack on your taste-buds ensues as the incredibly smooth liquid delivers a crescendo of malt, sweet honey, hop oils and a torpedo of hop bitterness which lasts and lasts.

Vancouver 2010
I am going to watch the opening ceremony but after that I am not really interested in the winter Olympics. I am disgusted with NBC about the late night talk show wars siding with Conan (I'm with Coco) and that they are excluding women's ski jumping from the 2010 Games. There's no snow in Vancouver. Back to Bravo Tv for me but I will be part of the Colbert Nation and cheer on the team !

Tröegs Brew news
Join Troegs Craft Brews, Thursday, February 11 at 2 p.m. for a firkin tapping of Scratch #27-2010 in the brewery tasting room.
Scratch #27-2010 is a collaboration beer that Troegs developed with Scharffen Berger Chocolate Company.
Cases and growlers of Scratch #27-2010 will go on sale at 12 noon on Thurday, February 11. We will be tapping firkins at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. and the tasting room will be open until 6 p.m. We will also have soft pretzels available while the firkins are on tap.
Here’s a little background on the beer:
O.G.: 18 Plato
A.B.V.: 6.7%
I.B.U.: 30
Malt: Pils, Crystal, Chocolate, Roast, Special B
Adjuncts: Flaked Barley, Lactose, Chocolate Nibs, Vanilla Beans
Yeast: House Ale Yeast
Hops: Galena, Simcoe
Scratch #27-2010 begins a new fold in the Scratch series. For the next several batches individual Troegs brewers will create recipes of their choice. First up, The brewers had a hankering for a sweet stout, so the Troegs brothers and all the brewers met with Scharffen Berger Chocolate Company engineers to eat ridiculous amounts of cocoa nibs and chocolates over a few pints of beer.
This collaboration resulted in the delivery of a special blend of cocoa nibs that were added during the boiling process. In addition to the nibs, lactose was added at the end of the boil to give a little sweetness in the body. The addition of Galena and Simcoe hops lends a subtle fruity balance. After primary fermentation, the beer was aged for three weeks on a blend of cocoa nibs and Ugandan vanilla beans.
Dubbed Cocaoabunga, this unfiltered beer has a pleasant cocoa aroma, a subtle sweetness in the mouthfeel, a full-bodied flavor, and hints of vanilla. Enjoy! Sounds so good especially since it's a blizzard outside. Check weather conditions before traveling to Harrisburg tomorrow for this great event.

Music for the SuperBowl
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=123371188&sc=nl&cc=mn-20100205
Yes, I am rooting for the SAINTS tonight. Check this out...from NPR.
If fight songs decided football championships, the New Orleans Saintswould be 27-point favorites, while theIndianapolis Colts (who have most recently inspired the Baltimore Colts fight song) would be scrappy underdogs. When the Saints captured the NFC Championship two weeks ago, music roared from every neighborhood and spontaneous brass-band parades shut down streets: New Orleans rhythms exploded across the city in a way that just seemed natural for celebrations of football glory.
