I have returned to the blogging world! I am sorry for my embarrassing lack of postings, I truly am. It is simply difficult as an on-premise account manager in a very dynamic and exciting area. I love the job, industry and my company, but it is a great deal of work. I know I have said this before, but I do plan on being a much more active webmaster from here on out. Regardless, here are some interesting things I have discovered recently, some of them are old news, still enjoy!
First and foremost, next Saturday, October 19th Downtown Fort Myers is hosting ZombiCon 2013! This is one of the largest zombie themed events in the world! Words can not really describe it. There will be street performers, 15 bands on 4 stages, zombie make-up stations and LOTS of beer! Best of all, the profits go to the non-profit organization Pushing Daizies

When the government is not operating, beer labels can not get approved, if beer labels are not approved, new beers can not be produced. Bummer. http://www.wjla.com/articles/2013/10/government-shutdown-affects-beer-production-95217.html

Way back in 2011 I wrote an article on the upcoming beer by Hanson Mmmhops… (I love how I did not even get the name right). It is evident by the tone and the title of the article, I was not thrilled about the idea. The beer has been on the market (somewhere) since March. The years (all two of them), since writing my original post, have softened my heart on this subject and I would actually like to try this beer. When I see one, I will purchase a bottle or six and write up a fair review. In the meantime here is an article from The Daily Beast on Mmmhops, that fails to actually talk about the taste of the beer Hanson Got Me Drunk on Their New Beer, Mmmhops (Really) and a little (but not much) more detailed review from Omnivore Drinking Hanson’s beer, Mmmhops, with Hanson

Speaking of online celebrity collaborations, I can not wait to sell/drink the Kcco Black Lager brought to you by The Chive, Resignation Brewery and Redhook!
Considering that I am a huge “hop head” and believe there are an abundance of sweet strong or lightly hopped session beers available, I do not see a problem with hops being the glamour ingredient and often focus of craft beer. Still, the hopcentric attitude of many craft brewers might alienate future enthusiasts, Against Hoppy Beer
