Weekly Second-Hand Brews News Update: 5/18/13

I long ago lost the ability to keep up with even half the beer news out there in the wild and wacky world of craft beer. There was a time I attempted daily (or even more frequent) updates with interesting tidbits from around the brewniverse along with small contributions of my own thoughts.

That has yielded to my weekly updates that you'll find here every Saturday morning with some of what I consider to be some of the more interesting news out there that you might like to add to your weekend reading list (or Monday morning at work, depending upon your preference).

Enjoy.

PHILADELPHIA
~ I was invited to judge the annual Philadelphia Inquirer Brew-vitational this past week. While I can't talk about the results (which I can quite proudly stand by, btw) until they are revealed on May 30, I can point you back to the first year's results in 2010, number two in 2011, and the third go-round last year in 2012.

~ Collaborations are all the buzz this coming Philly Beer Week. The Brewvolution II seems pretty darn unique.


EASTERN PA, NJ, DE, AND OTHER NEARBY PARTS OF MID-ATLANTIC
~ Jeff reports about more FU Sandy on its way.

~ "Death of a Contract Brewer"

~ When is a simple six-pack not so simple?


THE REST OF PLANET BEER
~ Stop and taste.

~ Jim Koch on success.

~ I never imagined there could be so many questions about this beer.

~ After hearing a recent interview on The Brewing Network, I came across this article.

~ Pretty cool. Wish I'd picked up on this before it funded on KickStarter.
