The Session is back for another edition. This time, it’s hosted by Erik over at Top Fermented and he has chosen the topic of Session beers. Now, most people will be talking about sub-5% beers, English milds and that sort of thing. Not me. I’m going to go the other way and talk about what some consider the death of the session beer. I have a style of beer I call the California Session, and it’s definitely not a low alcohol beer. Continue reading The Session #40: Session Beer

 Brewery Pint Night  UPCOMING EVENTS  |
It was a wild week for me, so I apologize for the delay in rounding up The Session posts. Basically, between hosting The Session, planning a campsite at Boonville Beer Festival, and finding out that my wife and I will be having another baby, it’s been a busy weekend. This month, the topic was collaborations, so let’s see what everyone got together to do. Continue reading Hop Press: The Session #39 Roundup I posted this hastily, knowing the 1st was coming up. The Session is NEXT Friday, May 7th, not this Friday, which would still be in April. It’s my turn to host The Session, and I’m doing just that over on The Hop Press. Continue reading Don’t forget: The Session #39 is next Friday Every month I like to participate in The Session, a monthly unified blogging topic where one host picks the topic and the rest of us write about it. At the end of this massive day of writing, the host then recaps the whole thing. For May, none other than yours truly will be hosting the event. No, Brewed For Thought won’t be the one doing the hosting. Instead it will be over at the Hop press where the topic of Collaborations seems a bit more fitting. Continue reading Announcing the Session #39: Collaborations Anyone planning on lining up for the iPad? If you’re answering yes, you’re probably sitting in front of a Mac Store right now, reading this on some portable internet device, shunning responsibility for a few days to be the first in line to get a taste of your beloved electronic goodness. I’d imagine following Brewed For thought will be fantastic once the iPad is available. But what if they stopped selling the iPad after only a few hours. What if you had to be in line, brave the elements and not know if you would actually get to ever hold that wonderful iPad in your hand? What if that iPad were a beer? Well, there are quite a few of these iPad beers, and people do wait in line for them. That’s the topic of this month’s Session: Cult Beers. Continue reading The Session #38 – Cult Beers The Session is back again, and this time it’s dealing with a topic that I battle with every day. When do you drink the good stuff? We save our beer that gets better with age, we add to the collection, but then we see that special bottle tucked away in the back. When? We want to drink it, more than anything, but when? Continue reading The Session #37: The Display Shelf – When to Drink the Good Stuff. This month’s Session threw me off a little. It seemed too perfect for me to write about. Cask-conditioned beer. I host a weekly event at Toad in the Hole based on fresh casks. I’m starting to host regular events at Taps also based on fresh casks. So I should have numerous ideas, something to really blow people away my readers and other Session contributors. That’s not what happened, I contemplated a few ideas, but settled on a simple story. Continue reading The Session #36: Cask-Conditioned Beer We’re tackling two events in one right here. Pete is hosting this week’s Hopinions and wanted to take care of both his Session and Hopinions coimmitments in one place, so here it is. New Years Resolutions, beer style. Hope everyone had a Happy New Year. Head on over to Pete’s site for the full piece. Continue reading The Session & Hopinions Mashup: New Beers Resolutions It’s 2010! Time for resolutions and for another episode of The Session. This months Session is hosted by Beer for Chicks and tackles the upcoming year with “New Beer Resolutions.” Continue reading The Session #35: New Beer Resolutions Summer is winding down now and with Labor Day weekend set to kick off, what better time to crack a beer and think back to the beers we drank over the past few months. While finding some of our favorite summer beers may be difficult as a slew of fall seasonals are taking over shelf space, I thought sharing my favorite summer beer story from the last few months would be the best way to go. Thanks to Better Beer Blog for hosting this month’s Session: Summer Beers. Continue reading Session #31: Summer Beers |
