Beer Break In Gone Right

A Really Fun Vid from Philly Beer Week 2010

Watching this video makes me wonder what it would have been like to have Adolphus Busch, Frederick Miller, Adolph Coors, and Joseph Schlitz all sit around a table and tell stories of their beginnings.

Bottling Shipwaters Super Chocolate Stout

Today we bottled our chocolate stout and we're looking forward to being able to taste it soon. During the process today, we were reminded that bottling your homebrew can old and kegging (as seen here available on Amazon) provides a convenient alternative.

Here's a nice video from Kegworks.com on how to turn an old fridge into a kegerator.

A Must See for Any Beer Consumer... Beer Wars Movie Trailer

We at Shipwater just recently finished watching a very educational, entertaining, and eye-opening film... Beer Wars. Created and directed by beverage industry veteran, Anat Baron, this film sets out to expose you, the consumer, the behind the scenes activities of what brewers large and small must do to get their beers on the prime shelf space at your local retail store. You will see the depths that the Big 3 (or now, Big 2) beer companies will go to to make sure that their brand is on the tip of your tongue when the bartender asks you, "What will ya have"? You'll also be introduced to the mavericks fighting these beer giants... beer heroes like Jim Koch, Dick Yuengling, Sam Calagione, and Kim Jordan.

Whether you are someone who likes to sample from different small breweries or are a devoted Miller Lite drinker, this is a movie you should watch. It goes well beyond beer, and speaks to the larger issue of consumer choice.

Cheers!
