A Brewing Meme →
via brewyork:
We know this meme has been played out a bit on the Internets this week, but we got a chuckle out of this one from New Jersey brewing newcomer Bolero Snort, who’s in the midst of paperwork hell right now as they go through the process of becoming a working commercial brewery. They got their…

Brooklyn releases next Brewmaster's Reserve beer,...
via brewyork:
The next beer in Brooklyn Brewery’s ever-evolving Brewmaster’s Reserve series is out this week: Mary’s Maple Porter. You can probably take a good guess about what’s in it, but it’s not just any old maple syrup… it’s maple syrup from brewery Quality Control Manager Mary Wiles’ family maple trees in Onondaga, New York!

About beer branding and bootlegs...
Shep: They have a beer here called "Fat Tire Pale Ale." sounds interesting
Me: Fat Tire is a @NewBelgium beer, and when I was living in the midwest is was one of my favorites, hard to find on the East Coast.
Shep: I've seen Fat Tire listed as the brewery many times but never the wrong style too
Me: Sounds like Fat Tire is a victim of the brewery's own branding, which pushes the style's name above their own brewery
New Belgium rep: I wouldn't call Fat Tire a victim of anything except being awesome. Twenty years and still a top 10 #craftbeer And just to clarify, Fat Tire is a Belgian Pale Ale. Always has been.
Shep: I disagree.
Eric: That was Joel's reverse sarcasm.
New Belgium rep: If we're getting really technical Fat Tire is an Ameri-Belgo Pale Ale that is Amber in color. An Amber Ale.
Shep: always thought it was a west coast Yuengling style
New Belgium rep: Not much in common other than the color. Dry hopped with Willamette hops its our take on a Belgian. I'm not sure if our founder, Jeff Lebesch, ever tasted Yuengling before he brewed Fat Tire. Good question...
Shep: just being sarcastic again. People west of the Mississippi river want Yuengling, east want Fat Tire
New Belgium rep: Haha!! You got me. I think it's a tasty beer, though. Still curious if Jeff ever tried it pre Fat Tire.
Evan: not a week goes by that I don't hear about how much ppl in stl coveted Coors b4 it was here... that fat tire brewery in infinitely more enjoyable
Dave: My grandpa used to send drivers to CO for a supply of Coors before duck season.
New Belgium rep: I'm sure there are still people 'bootlegging' Fat Tire into states where we actually sell it
Me: I know a place here in Brooklyn that bootlegs Fat Tire, but it'll cost ya...
