Can It You Ninny
There seems to be a move afoot inside the craft beer world to start to showcase craft offerings in cans. Canningbeercan beers is not new, but up until the last few years it was really only the domain of the macro outfits. Now, with “Can in a van” and the move among some larger craft brewers to install canning lines, are we seeing a shift to craft brewer needing a can offering to stay competitive? What do you think of the explosion of can offerings? Choose the option that best reflects you feeling towards can offerings. (please let us know if we should add any more options)

Old Man Murphy
Old man Murphy had worked down at the brewery for years, but one day , he just wasn’t paying attention and he tripped on the walkway and fell over into the beer vat and drowned. The foreman thought it should be his job to inform the widow Murphy of her old man’s death. He showed up at the front door and rang the bell. When she came to the door, he said, “I’m sorry to tell you, but poor old Murphy passed away at work today when he fell into the vat and drowned.” She wept and covered her face with her apron and after a time, between sobs, she…

Three Little Pigs
A pig walks into the bar and asks for a pitcher of beer. He drank it all then asked the bartender where the bathroom is. Bartender replies “down the hall and to the left”.

Cuckoo Clock
At about 3AM, I was drunk as a skunk. I came home just in time to hear the cuckoo clock cuckoo three times. Quickly coming up with a plan, I cuckooed nine more times, hoping my wife would think it was midnight. I was very proud of myself. The next day, my wife asked what time I got home, and I replied, “Midnight, just like I said.” She said that was good, and for some reason she said we needed a new cuckoo clock. When I asked why, she answered, “Last night when it cuckooed midnight, it cuckooed three times, said ‘Shit!,’ cuckooed four more times, farted, cuckooed three times,…

Brew Polls Showcase
We never really get tired of asking questions. It the easiest way to learn. What we try to do with our polls is put forth a snarky way of getting responses to some of the current issues in the massive brewniverse. The polls are unscientific (we were liberal arts majors for gosh sakes). They will range in answers from very astute to 100% sarcasm. They may resemble current events (All characters appearing in these works are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.) and most polls will have the comments left open for you to voice your own opinion (just in case we weren’t opinionated…

It’s in the Water
{xtypo_dropcap}W{/xtypo_dropcap}ater, without it life as we know it would not have come to be. As important as water is to life, it is way more important to the brewing of beer (yes, that’s a joke). A human can go without water for several days, but let’s see someone brew beer without it. After a lively Twitter discussion on water, we wanted to try and find out what the brewing community’s thoughs might be. This is a completely unscientific poll (besides, I drank my test subject) so have at it. I will leave the comment open if you would like to add anything (moderated, so it will not be immediate). How…
