Jupiter Craft Brewers Festival
Here we are! After an unexpected seasonal sabbatical, we're back to fill you in on an upcoming event you probably totally know about! The Jupiter Craft Brewers Festival takes place next weekend - January 29-30th. Last year was a total blast and I'm sure this year will be more of the same. Looks like they went and got themselves a bigger venue at Roger Dean Stadium which is a wise move judging from the amount of people that showed up last year.

Considering Sierra Nevada
There is a superb article on Chow.com that properly credits Sierra Nevada Pale Ale as the groundbreaking brew that started the craft beer movement.

Victory Wild Devil
The Belgian IPA seems to be the cutting edge of craft brewing today. In a strange reversal of fate Belgian breweries started brewing hoppy pale ales with their traditional yeast strains that seem to have been inspired by the use of hops in progressive American microbreweries. The guys at Case and Keg talked me into an Urthel Hop-It a few years back and I have to tell you, I didn't really like it. I can remember thinking the style would never catch on... it shows you what I know.
