Are Dark Days Ahead for Black IPAs?

by Bryan Roth

Of all the choices available when a customer walks into a bar or brewery, one receives a steady amount of attention: IPAs. Maybe because “hoppy” can be a catch-all term that easily points toward particular flavor profiles or, as IPA accounts for about a third of “craft”-defined dollar sales, the piney, tropical or juicy flavors...

New Suds Under the Sun

by Brian Yaeger

I live in a part of Portland, Oregon, so riddled with breweries that three opened mere blocks apart within a span of eight days—Scout Beer, Mt Tabor Brewing and Wayfinder Beer—bringing the brewery population in a one-mile radius to 13. But la-di-da, Portland’s gotta lotta breweries. With the Brewers Association’s year-end announcement that just before... View Article

Hot Process: Exploring the Role of Heat in Brewing

by aab

As you feel the comforting cool sensation of that beer in your hand, consider that our universe encompasses an almost incomprehensible range of temperatures, from atom-slowing cold to raging infernos not even Dante could have imagined. We are fortunate to live in the zone where liquid water is possible, making life—and beer—possible. Heat is a form... View Article

In the Kitchen: Braised Pork Shank with Chickpea Ragout

by aab

I cook from my heart and soul and often find inspiration for recipes from my childhood memories. As the youngest of seven children, I remember my Nicaraguan mother making a lot of soups and stews at home. This recipe draws inspiration from those experiences. Over the course of the day, as this recipe simmers in... View Article

Breweries Are The New Wineries

by Ray Daniels

Breweries are changing their organizations, facilities and business models to focus on the revenue opportunities offered by brewery visitors. Wineries have long generated a large portion of their total revenue (and the majority of their profits) from on-site sales. These on-site sales start with casual samples, but most places offer far more elaborate selections: guided... View Article

Self-Driven Beer Trucks

by John Holl

Despite a few extra pieces of hardware strapped to the outside, little about the tractor-trailer barreling down Interstate 25 in Colorado on a mostly sunny morning last October would draw attention. Well, except for the statement along the trailer: Proudly brewed. Self-driven. Budweiser partnered with Otto, a transportation company owned by Uber, to deliver a... View Article

Bars of Tomorrow

As uncertain as the future seems to be these days, at least we can look forward to our bars getting smarter. The days of flagging down a bartender or server when you’re ready for your next pint may one day come to an end if Smart Cube technology ever catches on. The Smart Cube is... View Article

The History of the Future of Beer

by Jessica Boak and Ray Bailey

Editor’s Note: This story is part of a special section on the future of beer, which appears in the March 2017 issue of All About Beer Magazine and is now on newsstands.

Beer Weekend: 48 Hours In (And Around) Oakland, California

There’s a city by the bay made popular in song, books and film, but there’s a town by the bay equally deserving of a visit—especially for its beer. Oakland, California, known to locals as The Town and not to be confused with The City (San Francisco), is home to burgeoning breweries, tucked-away beer gardens and... View Article

Sexist Beer Ads Miss the Mark

by Bryan Roth

Gender roles have long played a part in advertising. But in today’s beer branding, most breweries are avoiding the hypersexualization of women, and debates rage against sexist beer names. The use of females in beer advertising goes back decades, with the apex (or, perhaps, nadir) of that marketing approach coming in the 1990s and early... View Article

Automated Homebrewing Systems Flood Market

by Bo McMillan

Carboys, airlocks, racking canes, siphons … just reading through a list of tools needed for conventional homebrewing can be deterrent enough for some considering the hobby. Add the lengthy process of sanitizing each constituent piece before getting to the “fun” stuff, the manual labor involved in hauling 30- and 40-pound buckets to and fro, and... View Article

Testing the Pico: An Automated Homebrew System

by John Holl

The voice of Ron Popeil came into my head as I hit the button on the Pico. “Set it and forget it!” The familiar refrain from the kitchen appliance TV pitchman is apt for this steam-generating homebrewing machine from PicoBrew that is user-friendly if not a little impersonal. I’m not a homebrewer, although I have... View Article
