In the news…

My belief that Guinness tastes better in Ireland has been confirmed by scientists (via Irish Central).

British Columbia’s Kokanee will be producing a limited edition Mountain Can Series that will feature trail maps for eight mountain regions. QR Codes will also be incorporated that will allow people to download maps with area facts and to search for the Kokanee Sasquatch. For those who haven’t experienced Kokanee beer, the glacier on the label hides a tiny Sasquatch in different places on each bottle (At least it used to. Looking at their website it appears they have redesigned the packaging since I was last in BC. Can anyone confirm?).

Back to the can

It may not be news to many of you — we’ve been seeing the trend growing as we travel the country talking to brewmasters and visiting various beer stores — but now The Washington Post reports, “Microbreweries turning from glass to cans.” I understand the reasons why it’s supposed to be better (no light strike is one) but I have to say, I like my bottles. I prefer hardback books to paperback as well. The content may be the same, but they just feel better in your hand. Oh well, at least our homebrew will still be bottled.
