Finally, A Sierra Nevada Beer We Can Talk Shit About
Yesterday afternoon, I got a nice, simple email that nevertheless caused much undue consternation at Drunkspin Headquarters. It was from the new head of media relations (or whatever) at Victory Brewing, a mid-sized, widely distributed Pennsylvanian operation of which I am quite fond. I have public...

Dutch Beer Sucks. Blame The Weed.
There is some debate within the Craft Beer Movement™ about every goddamn thing, so it makes sense that the list of contentious issues begins with the very phrase "craft beer."

Q&A: Nathan, A Bloodhound That Did Not Win The Westminster Dog Show
