Soon to hit the market is the 21st Amendment Brewing’s newest concoction “Bitter American.” This American Style IPA has an ABV of 4.4%. I am really excited about this beer. For me, if this beer is tasty, it will be a perfect lake brew. A beer, in cans, that I can sit and drink tons of and not get bloated or stupid drunk. PERFECT. Below is a conversation with every ones’ favorite Englishman regarding what constitutes a session beer. NOTE: This conversation and interview never happened but these are actual quotes completely taken out of context.

New Beer this week in Atlanta
This was taken from the savannah Distributing report for this week. Many of you do not get this so I decided to repost.
That’s right boys and girls, as of January 1, 2011 the Peach State will officially become the 8th state in which our beers are distributed! Thanks to our distribution partners at Savannah Distributing, Georgians from Chattahoochee to Okefenokee (and everywhere in between) will soon be among the lucky souls who can call themselves members of the Lost Abbey congregation.
Over the next few weeks there will be a number of events around GA to celebrate the arrival of Port Brewing & The Lost Abbey. If you’re in Georgia (or close enough to get there), make sure to check Facebook and your favorite craft beer sites for events close to you.

New from Laguanitus in 2011
Summer Seasonal: A Little Sumpin' Stoopid Ale ABV: 8.5ish% 6pks
"We liked A Little Sumpin' Sumpin' so much we thought we'd make a variation combining the smooth wheat-ly-esque-ish-ness of it with the punch in the mouth of hops that we love about the irresistible Hop Stoopid.
A Little Sumpin Else Ale 22oz
"Another big sister of the Little Sumpin' Sumpin'... We're not quite sure of the exact recipe yet, but we can be sure it will follow the path of highly complexish & smooth with a bit of malted wheat."
Wilco Tango Foxtrot will be returning as well

New Years Part Deux
Part duex of my New Years tasting. Now that I feel manlier because of my raspberry ale from Dark Horse I was ready to step up my game to the next level. I downed a couple of glasses of water (the hangover was imminent) and popped the top on some Cigar City – Guava Grove. This is a beer I have been holding on to since March. Waiting for the right time to crack it open, and now seemed like a better time than never.
Hoptaneous Combustion is a smoked imperial IPA
Now at OCBS - Olde Crabapple Bottle Shop:
Hoptaneous Combustion is a smoked imperial IPA that weighs in at 9.3% abv. All of you fans of Terrapin's Hopzilla or Hopsecutioner will love this beer. Full to the brim with loads of citrusy, grapefruit and herbal hop notes. The bitterness melds wonderfully with the sweet smoked malts but the smokiness is not overpowering, just a playful side note. 22oz bottle, limited release, A- from BA.

Update on Rochefort Trappist brewery
This quote is from http://belgianbeerspecialist.blogspot.com/2011/01/rochefort-trappist-brewery-church.html
There are no critical damages to the brewery, community, library or church. Also, the monk’s sleeping quarters were spared as well. Additionally, despite preliminary reports stating that over 27,000 liters of beer was destroyed in the fire, no beer was lost. Saving the library, which is full of priceless old books, as well as the brewery and church, were priorities of the several fire brigades that fought the blaze."
This is great news. Hopefully we can verify it from other independent sources.
Cheers

New Years Reviews.
Hello everyone today is a great day. I woke up to the smell of roasted coffee and chocolate malts from the late night homebrew; the birds were chirping my wife commented on how “disgusting” the house smells. It is a great day. I finally recovered from the debauchery and fun we had on new years and wanted to post some of my reviews.
