Welcome to BeerWriters.com

We hope BeerWriters.com will become a sort of central "clearing house" for people who read about beer to find people who write about beer.
We are just getting started and have lot's of things to do yet so please be a gentle with us.
We have a "Suggest a Site" form where you can suggest beer related RSS feeds to be included. We have to check the sites in question because anybody who has run a web site for more than 15 minutes knows the spam problem out there.
There is also a small forum section for your use if you want. Mostly we hope to be a "Go Between" as I said.

Welcome

    From 16-Mile Brewing:

    The biggest news coming out of Georgetown is actually about Newark. What? That’s right, we recently announced the opening of the 16 Mile Taphouse on Main Street in Newark, Delaware. 16 Mile Brewing has partnered with The Graceland Group to produce the first of possibly more taphouses designed around the 16 Mile brand. Our first location will be the former Stone Balloon Winehouse near the University of Delaware. You can expect great food paired with your favorite 16 Mile beers (and...

    From Elysian:

    Who would have known a funny little obsession with pumpkin beers would grow into one of the Northwest's Largest Fall Beer Events?!  Elysian Brewing's Great Pumpkin Beer Festival started in Seattle back in 2005 with less than 10 beers in total. Nine years later, pumpkin fever is in full force, and the Elysian's 9th Annual GPBF (as it's now known) will span three days, with one - six hour session each day. Over 60 pumpkin beers will be flowing at any given time,...

    A Good Beer Blog
    Monday, June 17, 2013 - 19:31

    For all the talk of beer blogging, it strikes me after over a year of writing on these my blogs is how many of the best bits I've plunked down are at the blogs of others. This obviously implies that there is a insular nature to the reciprocal nature of bloggers but it also illustrates how there is one large conversation in a way. One of the things I wrote today struck me as pretty good was this, a defence of the jumble that is the beer culture to my south:

    OK, you bait me. You draw me in.

    Here is the problem with that argument. You have a beer culture. There have been premium...

    BRANDON, MB – An ambitious proposal to convert an historic firehall in downtown Brandon into a co-op brewpub is likely to be rejected during a city council meeting this evening.

    The Brewtinerie was originally proposed last August by Brandon Sun reporter and blogger Grant Hamilton, who envisioned opening a brewery and poutinerie – a restaurant specializing in poutine and other pub food – in...

    They say northern Colorado is the Napa of Beers as craft beers have a strong presence in the cities north of Denver. But what about curling? Isn’t curling a Canadian sport? Not any more as curling clubs are popping up all around the state. And curling and beer always go together. So craft beer enthusiasts get ready for some curling.

    The inaugural Knockin’ Rocks Brooms & Brewfest will be held on Sat, June 29 in Fort Collins, CO at NoCo Ice Center home of NoCo Curling Club, the only curling club in Northern Colorado. In combination with the 3-day...

    Musings Over A Pint
    Last Pint Poured
    Monday, June 17, 2013 - 16:40
    It was with great shock and sadness that I learned of our friend Greg's passing this weekend. Musings readers know of Greg due to his recent win in the preliminary round of the National Homebrew Competition. I chatted with Greg a couple weeks ago when I dropped off the growler of Lost Rhino New River Pale Ale. Greg was an avid home brewer, who was inspired to get into the craft after enjoying the original release of that beer. He was surprised and excited to have the chance to try it once again. Over the years, Greg became an unabashed hop head, but still...

    Summer officially arrived over the first weekend in June, when the Atlanta Food & Wine Festival hit the streets of Midtown. Beer Street Journal was there, scoping out the craft beer and food scene at one of the finest festivals we’ve ever attended.

    After a 10 year partnership, Elizabeth Feichter and Dominique Love joined forces to create AFWF a couple of years back and it has grown in to a must-do event for all Southern food and drink fanatics. The three day event puts attendees in the mix with some of the best chefs, brewers, wine makers, and mixologists the southeast has to...

    During a debate over raising the state alcohol tax in April, Zellers compared Leinenkugel's with bathwater. The Maple Grove Republican apologized...

    ESCONDIDO, CA—Today, Stone Brewing Co. released Stone RuinTen IPA, a re-brew of 2012’s infamous Stone Ruination Tenth Anniversary IPA. The triple IPA was embraced by fans and Team Stone alike, which prompted Stone Co-founders Greg Koch and Steve Wagner to add the intensely aromatic and unabashedly bitter brew to the Stone special release calendar this year.

    Last June, Stone Ruination Tenth Anniversary IPA was brewed to celebrate…wait for it…the tenth anniversary of the ground-breaking double IPA Stone Ruination IPA....

    I just looked at my watch and realized it has been weeks since I have offered a beer news update. With my life distractions, contests and other goings on around these parts, I simply haven’t thought to put together a collection of what is happening. Plus, my visit to the Edmonton Craft Beer Festival on the weekend (more on that another day) gave me some nice intelligence on what some breweries have coming up.

    Let’s get to it, starting with what is already out there:

    • Alley Kat Avenue Whyte IPA, the latest in their Big Bottle Series, came out on June 10. I had a...
