The Session #7 – The Brew Zoo

by Spence on September 7, 2007

Rick Lyke over at Lyke2Drink has this month’s Session, and the theme is “The Brew Zoo“. Essentially if an animal is present in the name of the beer or brewery, or if an animal is linked with the branding, it’s in. Rick put it this way:
“The basic rule is that either the brewery or the [...]

The Session #6 – Fruit Beer

by Spence on August 4, 2007

This month’s session is all about the fruit beers, a topic near and dear to my heart.  Many people think the idea of fruit in beer is some sign of serious personality wussification.  I must admit that I get a bit disappointed by those people who roll their eyes when they hear a beer was made with [...]

The Session #5 – Atmosphere

by Spence on July 7, 2007

The guys over at Hop Talk are hosting this month’s The Session, so check out their recap to see how we all view the same animal: beer and the atmosphere in which we enjoy it. I’m sure we’re all going to be hitting this from a bunch of different directions. I’m sure that [...]

The Session #5 announced

by Spence on June 7, 2007

The guys over at Hop Talk have the next Session.  This one’s a bit on the abstract side and should yield a broad spectrum of entries. The theme … Atmosphere.
Beer is about more than flavor, IBUs, and the debate over what is a craft beer and what isn’t. It’s about Life. It’s the proverbial icing [...]

The Session #3 – Milds

by Spence on May 9, 2007

I believe that “next month’s session will be done on time” was the quote from last month’s session? What’s even worse … I can’t lie and throw down the perfectly believable excuse of having a hard time finding milds here in Bend, OR. I had just gone off about my recent trip to [...]

The Session #2 – Dubbels

by Spence on April 8, 2007

So I’m all pumped for my first participation in The Session, and fate conspires against me so that I don’t get it done in time. Without going into excuses, I’ll forge ahead and make the entry. Let it be stated, however, that next month’s session will be done on time, dammit!
The theme for [...]

The Session #1 – Beer Bloggers Blog Off

by Spence on March 25, 2007

One thing that I love is when people of like minds from across the Internet get together and purposefully explode out content targeted at a central topic or theme. I love the sense of virtual community. I love tracking people who think they’re being original, when they’re just regurgitating Bob Jones’ point of view. I [...]
