The Collectors’ Collectors

by Dave Gausepohl with Julie Johnson

In 1951, when Herb Haydock returned to Wisconsin from his tour of duty in Germany, he brought back nine beer glasses that intrigued him. Over the next 35 years, he and his wife Helen built their breweriana collection into arguably the world’s finest and largest, with over one million items covering all areas of breweriana....

The Breweriana Road Show

by Dave Gausepohl with Julie Johnson

Charlie Staats from Texas stands in his hotel room at the Adam’s Mark in Denver, with the door propped open. He’s stashed the hotel trinkets in drawers, and every horizontal surface—the coffee table, the bed, the chairs, even the ironing board—has become display space for his collection of Texas brewery memorabilia. Staats specializes in anything... View Article

Rolling Out the Barrel-Aged Beers

by Alan Moen

Walking into the brewery at the Glacier Brewhouse in Anchorage, AK, you might think you were in a wine cellar instead. There in one alcove is head brewer Kevin Burton’s “wall of wood”—an impressive row of about 50 oak barrels, all filled with beer. “Everything goes in the barrel,” Burton says, especially his stout, porter,...

Bridging the Beer-Wine Gap

by Marnie Olds

Thanks to taxes and regulations, Americans reflexively divide alcoholic drinks into three categories: beer, wine and liquor. But, if we take an open-minded look at how these products are made, how they’re consumed and how they taste, something becomes obvious. While fermented beverages and distilled spirits are truly distinct, beer and wine are more alike... View Article

Food Fight—Beer and Wine Square Off Across the Table

by Marnie Olds

This feature couldn’t have been written 25 years ago. The idea that beer should be taken seriously as a partner for fine food—that beer might be wine’s peer when we search for a compatible beverage for the table—would have provoked dismissive chuckles from wine aficionados, and it wouldn’t have occurred to beer people at all.

The Growler List: 125 Places to Have a Beer Before You Die

by Rick Lyke

Beer drinkers are particular not only about what they drink, but also where they drink. We all have our favorite places to enjoy a cold one. Some are laid back and relaxing.

Bonjour Montreal

by Paul Ruschmann

Even before we became Beer Travelers in earnest, Montreal was a favorite destination. The city’s francophone roots are still strong, and French remains the language you’ll hear spoken most often. Don’t let that scare you off. Your efforts to speak a few words of high school French will be warmly received and appreciated. And English... View Article

Basic Brown

by K. Florian Klemp

Though the brewing industry continually reinvents itself with regard to beer style, few breweries would have survived, or even been established, without a portfolio of familiar, time-tested beers. Often given less attention than the flashier of their nouveau brethren, these styles endure because of their soft edges and drinkability. With their unassuming roundness and rich,... View Article

I’m Irish, so I talk fast. First generation American: My father’s from Tipperary and my mother’s from Wexford. I grew up in the Sunset District of San Francisco. It’s a great place to live.
