‘s beron on May 16 — a Friday. “I originally put the keg in the front seat out of necessity because I didn’t want it to roll around in the trunk. After seeing it sit there on the seat I figured I might as well strap it in for added protection.

Dining | Fairfield Try the Appetizers Along With Thai Beer
New York Times – Jun 1, 2008
The accommodating service at this small Thai restaurant on the Post Road (sister restaurant to one of the same name in Bridgeport) is diner-friendly as are the prices. And some of the food is more than satisfactory especially the appetizers although there is a lack of consistency in quality and preparation.

There’s more brewing in Milwaukee than hops
Columbus Dispatch – Jun 1, 2008
I chose instead to join the daily tour at Lakefront Brewery which proved a most happychoice. Lakefront is a small brewery founded by Russ and Jim Klisch brothers who once made homebrew andthen according to Jim got “delusions of grandeur. Today their brewery churns out about 9500 barrels of beer a year. “Anheuser-Busch is going to spill more than that in one shift” said Jim Klisch who also servedas tour guide to the group of about 100 beer fans who gathered for that day’s tour. Klisch carriedhis own pint on the tour — always a good sign — as he explained that brewers’ hops likemarijuana is a member of the Cannabaceae family something you probably won’t hear about on the Millertour. There’s a good reason for the Lakefront tour’s popularity. Besides Jim Klisch’s wit and storytelling ability for $6 visitors also get generous samples offour Lakefront varieties a souvenir pint glass and a certificate for a free beer at one of fournearby taverns… Besides Jim Klisch’s wit and storytelling ability for $6 visitors also get generous samples offour Lakefront varieties a souvenir pint glass and a certificate for a free beer at one of fournearby taverns. I figured I was making a profit. After the tour I hung out with several friendly local beer enthusiasts including Jim Klischwho took me on a private tour of several additional watering holes. “Paris has its cafes. London has got the pubs. Milwaukee has the corner bar” said Russ Klischwho perhaps wisely stayed behind.

Arkansas Democrat Gazette – Jun 1, 2008
n a relatively quiet recent Wednesday evening the Arkansas Travelers opened a six-game homestand with the Corpus Christi Hooks. The summerlike weather that arrived like a hissing steam engine the previous weekend had subsided and fans were able to sit in comfort and watch the resurgent home team continue its chase of a Texas League North Division first-half title. But it wasn’t a playoff spot that concerned those gathering in the beer garden. Spaghetti straps sundresses and shorts were the uniform of the night for the young women and the young men were responding with bounding enthusiasm. Picnic tables along the back of the beer garden were full of people who couldn’t be bothered to glance toward the field and others gathered around the tall tables just behind the bleachers to smoke drink swap stories and flirt with the opposite sex. That’s the way it’s been at Dickey-Stephens almost from the moment it opened April 12 2007. If the character of old Ray Winder Field was bluecollar and the ambiance was early 1930 s Works Progress Administration project the character of Dickey-Stephens Park — most of it anyway — is early-millennium cocktail party… But it wasn’t a playoff spot that concerned those gathering in the beer garden.

Same suds new package: Fat Tire now available in cans
Greeley Tribune – Jun 1, 2008
__Send(url); return false; } gSiteLife. Recommend(“ExternalResource” “GR2008467808138″ document. URL); Think about popping the top on a can of beer — what comes to mind? Your old college dorm where the mini-fridge was packed with Natural Light? The pile of empty PBR cans clattering underfoot during a game of beer pong? Shotgunning cans of Busch during a tailgating party? Your old man snoring in a BarcaLounger in front of a “Hee-Haw” rerun a half-empty can of Bud Light slowly slipping out of his nicotine-stained fingers? If so you might look warily upon the news that the city’s most well-known hand-crafted beer — the venerable Fat Tire from New Belgium Brewing Co. — is now available in aluminum pop-top cans. But brewery officials say the new packaging has a number of advantages over its distinctive amber bottles and most importantly doesn’t change the flavor by a single sud. Presentation has always been a big part of New Belgium’s uniquely romantic personality. The bottle labels themselves — the watercolor work of artist Anne Fitch — are like idyllic daydreams using images such as canoes kites and benevolent friars to transmit an overpowering sense of calm.

These Games Brought to You by . . .

” It may not use the word “lympics” but it evokes the same sense of lympic pride as any campaign from an official sponsor. And then there are the cases in which national sentiment or internal politics punishes a sponsor. Budweiser is the official international beer of the Beijing Games… Perhaps not surprisingly the King of Beers will not be a sponsor of the Vancouver Winter lympics in two years. Molson’s a Canadian beer has that one wrapped up. In China sponsorship’s real benefit — which people will explain sotto voce but never on the record — is that it provides a way to curry favor with the government. The Chinese government still has enormous power over foreign companies that want to expand to a new province say or get into a business dominated by local companies. This is a not-insignificant reason to sponsor the Beijing lympics but it is hardly the same as being able to put your wares in front of the nation’s consumers while elbowing out your rivals.
