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.
