New Times gives a shout out to Brother Tucker’s and the Lodge
Beer news is coming fast and furious this week. The New Times has a nice article up on a few of our favorite places. We've already posted a Lodge review, and I certainly owe Ian and Brother Tucker's a review as they are pioneers of the South Florida beer scene. I haven't been to Ye Olde Falcon Pub in a while, but this makes me want to go check them out. Well done, New Times.

The 25 Best American Breweries of the Decade (2000-2009)
Paste Magazine compiled a list of the top 25 american breweries with the help of The Brick Store Pub, Atlanta's best beer joint. The list is a who's who of american breweries, but I'd have some serious edits. I think Weyerbacher and Lagunitas are way too high, Bell's and Stone are too low and I can't for the life of me understand why Sam Adams would be ahead of any of the breweries between 16 and 20.

Holiday Homebrew Session
There are about a dozen or so friends and family expecting homebrew for the holidays. With only six weeks left until Christmas, I had little choice but to brew Sunday. I have been homebrewing for about 4 years now. I'm an extract brewer and proud of it.

I flipped through my recipe list and a few homebrew books before deciding to re-create a Smoked Porter I made a few years back, a recipe borrowed from my brewing partner Lauren.

The Lodge
We will call it a review, but if you want a solid, positive opinion of The Lodge, just know that I have returned 6 times in two months since I first discovered the place. Well, discovered is generous. Ian of Brother Tuckers told me about it. I'd rank it as the best beer bar in Palm Beach County.

Boy, have we been missing out. Stone Brewing only arrived in South Florida this year. Its already a world renowned brewery and the owner of the single best marketing department in existence. There is a narrative on every Stone bomber, read one and tell me am wrong. This one is tame by comparison, but I did learn one thing new. " As with all Stone VE editions, a detailed home-brewing recipe is available at www.stonebrew.com/epic "... I smell a homebrew session coming on.
