Miller gets U.S. import rights to Grolsch
In a move to bolster their euro-beer portfolio, Miller has acquired rights to import Grolsch to the states from Anheuser-Busch. While I’m sure that this wont affect the Grolsch formula in any way, it may improve upon the marketing of Grolsch in the states.
The deal should be complete by August 1st.
“We are pleased to acquire [...]

Microbrews Run Dry On Hops, Sam Adams Offers Tons To Help
The Boston Beer Company has decided to open their supply of hops to small brewers across the US due to a major shortage in supply. This just goes to show that they not only care about making their own beer, but that they respect the small time brewer. Respect ++.

The Drunkist MVP: Tina "Beer" Williams

Wheat beer has gotten pretty popular here in the states.

Now don’t get me wrong, I love Heineken. Its one my favorite binge beers. I can knock down a 12 pack of them with no problem. But why is it so damn expensive? I know it’s an import and that makes it a “premium” beer, but is it really worth what I pay for [...]

There are only six breweries in the world that are allowed to carry the seal that reads “Authentic Trappist Product,” all of which are located at monasteries in Belgium. Of the six, only two are “widely” exported to the United States, Chimay and Orval. On my weekly trip to Binny’s this Friday night, I got [...]
