Jody with a few good beers
A big shout out of THANKS! to Sherry and David for having me on their inaugural show yesterday, The Delicious Story. It was a pleasure to be at their service – such fun engaged people.
Be patient – they had some technical difficulties (really) with this first show…after the first 10-15 minutes of ads, we get into it.
Tune in – tell them what you think (tell me what you think). Have a good beer close by to enjoy while listening.
Cheers!

Come One, Come All!! This just in from Buckbean Brewery….
“CANFEST – Reno International Canned Beer Festival
Hello Buckbean Fans,
CANFEST is the first beer festival of its kind, as we are celebrating beer in CANS! We have invited all breweries that can beer (BIG, small and international) to be part of this festival. There will be a judging component, beer & food pairings, and talks. All takes place on the stage of the Grand Theatre at the Grand Sierra Resort on Friday, October 23th, 2009 at 6:30 PM. Tickets are only $35 and a portion of the proceeds goes to a couple of great non-profits, The Nature Conservancy and Great Basin Bird Observatory.
Featured Speakers: Paul Gatza, Director of the Brewers Association, will discuss the movement to can craft beer; Ginger Johnson of WomenEnjoyingBeer.com will discuss women and beer trends; and a Brewers Forum – a gathering of brewers and brewery owners will take questions from the audience.
Brewery Participants: We currently have 28 breweries, participating from 7 countries and 13 states! Sixteen of these breweries do not sell beer in Nevada, so this is a great opportunity to try a lot of new brews. See our blog for a complete list: http://buckbeanbrewsnews.blogspot.com/.
CANFEST is not only about great beer, but pairing your beer with food. Participating food vendors, demonstrating their pairings include: Dorado Chocolates, Tahoe Creamery ice cream and cheeses from Roth Käse USA.
Grand Sierra Resort rooms: If you are looking for a screaming deal on a room that night, call GSR at (800) 501-2651 and ask for the CANFEST rate.
We cannot wait to see you there! The Buckbean Brew Crew”
Gluten Free Tasting

Last night our good friend April held a tasting event for several fun lovers in Kirkland WA. Common denominator was gluten free. Got it. Easy to accommodate.
Why?
Because there are more and more choices for gluten free beers as well as numerous choices for hard Ciders.
Here’s what we had.
- Course 1 - Redbridge with soft tangy Chevre on a crisp soy rice cracker
- Course 2 – Newton’s Folly Draft Cider with fresh Washington Honeycrisp apples, apple smoked garlic cheddar cheese on corn/potato/rice tortilla chips
- Course 3 - Fox Barrel Red Currant Cider with fresh spinach and mixed greens salad with local melon, pears and slivered almonds drizzled with Champagne pear Gorgonzola dressing.
- Course 4 – Green’s Amber Ale with freshly smoked salmon
- Course 5 - Bard’s Gold with Dagoba dark chocolate
Mmmmmmm…. all tasty, all gluten free, all good.

This doesn’t condone stupid drinking behavior, rather intelligent drinking said in fun.

A Very Tasty Style
Jul 28, 2009 Uncategorized
Reading about sour beers makes my mouth water. They’re one of my favorites – and apparently many people all over are discovering them.
They’re complex, delicious, surprising, a great food complement, refreshingly different than a lot of other styles, gorgeous in their appropriate glassware and just plan incredible to drink.
Next time I to get to California, you can be sure I’ll be looking up Patrick as his brewery specializes Belgians, a very tasty style which is apparently and generally the parent of sours (someone correct me if I’m wrong).
I like to pair a sour with a rich chocolate or fruit dish. Try it today – after all, beer is and remains an affordable luxury.

Phil It Up

Phil & Larry
One of the most crazy fun people I have met and love to run into is Phil.
I had the pleasure of meeting him a number of years back now and saw him at a festival this spring.
What a treat!
Seeing Phil, now having met his equally fun, beer enthusiast wife Mary, and drinking good beer together. Fundraiser, family, and nice weather. Good Combo.
Phil has colorful stories – tells them well – and has a great laugh, positive energy, and is an overall upper. Ask him about some goat stories sometime.
Thanks Phil! Coming for a visit any time soon??

How Do You Say “No” in Russian?
Jul 23, 2009 Uncategorized
This article leaves me about speechless.
Seems like no one is ‘getting it’. At all. Scary.
The liquor companies, the state, the advertising agencies (or whoever is making the ads).
Yikes.
