Now, here's the news from today (sorry for the late post):- Here's another article about the Goose Island situation. This one is from the Chicago Tribune. Some interesting tidbits about ownership of the brewery and Sam Adams, also.
- For the greenies out there - looks like Long Tail Brewing is going to start using methane from cows to power part of their production.
- Anyone seen these beers from Labatt's or Yuengling? I know we can't get Yuengling here, but just wondering if anyone has any experience with these.
- Looks like that CA tax increase faces long odds.
- A lighthearted article about craft brewers starting to can beer. Has a list of canned craft beer. Matt's Beer Blog recently reviewed a beer from Oskar (I think it's the same one mentioned in the article).
- For those ice cream lovers out there - an article about beer floats. In the 5 years I worked at Ben & Jerry's I never thought of, or had anyone ever mention, a beer float.
- This article geared towards convenience store owners doesn't bode well for non-national craft brewers.
- Remember the Time article touting Denver as the best place for beer in the US. Looks like that ruffled some feathers in Portland (an awesome town - other than Indy, about the only other place I would consider living). Not an article, but a link to beernavana (a Portland blog I just found).
- Not an article about beer, but about a place that serves great beer - Brugge's frites get a mention in the Indy Star.

I have had the Yuengling Black and Tan which is a combination of their Porter and the Yuengling Premium. Good beer, but due to Pennsylvania law, I had to buy a full case and got burnt out on it. I will actually be touring the Yuengling brewery a week from today. Planning on picking up a case of the Lord Chesterfield Ale while I am out that way.
As to the Labatt 50, I used to see a huge selection of Labatt products around in the 90's while I was attending Purdue. Labatt 50 was definitely one that was easily available. Back in those days Labatt's and Molson were near the upper end in my beer pantheon, but now they are below middle and I just don't look for them anymore. So can't really tell you if it is still around or not. My suspicion is not.
Yuengling makes some fine products, love that brewery.
