The Beer Festivals website is one of the best and most up-to-date calendars of  worldwide beer celebrations. From the UK to Japan to the US, all the links in the calendar are click-enabled. Here is the June 2010 event listing.

I knew about the Chosen People, but a Chosen Beer? Schmaltz Brewing Company (yes, that is their real name) has an entire line of  He’Brew Chosen Beers.  The beers have great names: Jewbelation – Bar Mitzvah; R.I.P.A. on Rye; Genesis Ale; and Messiah Bold.  There is a an online store where you can buy  shirts and other swag, and a list of where you can buy the beer. L’Chaim!

Only in America! Beer Tap TV has a number of shows devoted exclusively to beer, all on streaming video. They have guides, forums, and a blog as well.  There is a calendar of upcoming events as well.

I am re-launching my beer blog and re-dedicating it to  being just about beer! There are plenty of other blogs about wine and mixed drinks, so let’s raise a glass to one of the oldest drinks in the world!

I will be discussing not only the finer aspects of beer, but will be posting about the various beer websites, museums (are there any?), breweries, micro brews and craft beers, beer Tweets, definitions (WTH is IPA exactly?), books, guides, and anything else centering around beer.

Did you know that beer dates back to the Neolithic? I’ll drink to that!
