Thoughts On My First Time Attending CBC...Finally

This is a long overdue piece, but time and life always bring surprises, delays, and all kinds of unexpected curveballs. This being said, I am finally getting time to get caught up and share some of the great happenings over the last few months and the first half of the year. This piece is just that, and a big thanks to the Brewers Association for the recent Craft Brewers Conference that took place in Indianapolis from April 28-May 1st this year. Attending the event as a media presence was a great opportunity to get behind the scenes with the many companies that are bringing success to the craft brewing industry. From the breweries to the suppliers and marketers, and all that make it happen…it was a worthwhile experience. I had the honor to meet and talk with some legendary folks from the beer world, and here, just like many of the events that I have been a part of, the beer industry is one of the most welcoming and community-building ones that I have ever seen.

Beer Review: Arrogant Who You Callin' Wussie

Stone Brewing…Arrogant Brewing…who really knows anymore, but
this is about Who You Callin’ Wussie which is a year-round release from
Arrogant Brewing. This German Pilsner comes in at an ABV of 5.8% and 47 IBU and
is designed to bring back the nobility of the Pilsner, let’s see how it does.

Commercial Description:

For far too long the tyrannical industrialized beer
overlords have disgraced and cheapened the noble heritage of the pilsner with
their relentless multi-generational downward drive to commercialized
homogenization. Over decades, this once vaulted style has been slowly and
methodically gutted, bringing forth a soulless and anemic result, all the while
spending billions in advertising to convince the unwitting public that their
fizzy yellow end result was beer. Well, I will not have it. We are striking
back for true craft by stealing the pilsner back from their evil clutches, and
restoring it to its almighty glory. They do it cheaply. We do it right. Choose
vapidity, or choose righteousness...but whatever you do, choose wisely.
