When summer comes around, so do the fruit beers. What’s better than a crisp, refreshing fruity beer on a hot summer day? And what fruit just screams out its loyalty to summer more than a watermelon? I’m sure it was this kind of conclusive reasoning that brought 21 Amendment Brewery to create their Hell or High Watermelon Wheat Beer.
The Crafted Can – Hell or High Watermelon Wheat Review

Monday, July 12th, 2010Today we debut the first post from the newest member of the Beeriety team, Alicia. Among other topics, she’ll be researching and reviewing craft beer in cans, a recent development which has received much attention.
Cans of beer? Those must be cheap brews you find at frat parties. This is what I first thought when I was introduced to craft beer, but it turns out I was wrong – apparently, quite a few breweries can their craft beers. So now my question is, do they stand up to the rest? I have proudly taken the challenge of searching for the best canned craft beers. I want to know why some choose cans over bottles. I want to know the pros and the cons of fermentation. I want to talk to the cult followers and the prestigious shunners of this great category. Where did this all start, where is it now, and where is it going?

Friend of Beeriety Justin Lloyd recently began working at Chelsea Brewring Company in Manhattan as a cellar man. Below is the latest in his series of articles about what it’s like to work in the brewing industry.
The last month at Chelsea Brewing Company has been like a crash course in everything from brewing technique to boiler maintenance. Unlike most jobs, being an employee in the brewery forces one to become proficient in many things that at first may seem completely unrelated to beer. However, after a few weeks it now seems obvious to me how essential things like properly functioning heat and consistent pH levels in water are to the job.
Confessions of a Miller High Life Drinker
Wednesday, July 7th, 2010
Here at Beeriety we’ve often expressed our frustrations with the biggest American brewers. Folks like Anheiser-Busch and MillerCoors, who collectively make up almost 95% of the US beer market. Generally we champion craft beer because we feel the little guys offer superior beer, and more honesty of what their beer is. While we strongly favor craft beer over the other stuff we would be amiss if we here at Team Beeriety weren’t honest about how much cheap industrial beer we drink. It’s not something we’re proud about, but we’re don’t feel guilty about it either.
