Well, I didn't win any ribbons at the CARBOY Shamrock Open, but my Amarillo APA did get a score of 40! This was my first competition, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I got some great feedback, definitely a learning experience.

They didn't like my Sorachi Ace IPA though - gave it a 20. I think it's just misunderstood.

This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen - a fully automated, magazine fed, remote controlled beer launcher.

If only it was easy to get decent beer in 12oz cans.

Elle magazine has threatened Avery Brewing of Colorado with a copyright infringement lawsuit over the name of one of it's best-known brews. Avery is a small microbrewery dedicated to brewing excellent, high quality craft brewed beer. Elle magazine is dedicated to the destruction of our society through the starvation and objectification of women.

If you think this is as ridiculous as I do, why not send Elle and email and tell them about it: elle@neodata.com
