American Craft Beer Week

I know that this blog is called, The GrapeVine, but in my appreciation for fine/finer wines...I have come to really appreciate craft beers. Now I can't say that I know a lot about them, or can describe them with the same technical prose that I do wine, but there are some times that only an ice cold Witte or IPA will do the trick.

So from May 16th - 22nd, celebrate American Craft Beer Week with me! Check their website for events in your area, or just pick up some craft beers at your local retail shop and see what it's all about. Enjoy!

Happy New Year!!

I'm changing it up a bit, I'm starting my NYE off with a little Infinium Ale from Sam Adams and Weihenstephan, a Bavarian Brewery, open since 1040 AD. A light Bière de Champagne....I even served it in flutes. Not being a beer aficionado or knowing the lingo, my thoughts on this sound like a bubbly review: nice foam on the top with flavors of citrus and wheat with a tart, slightly dry finish. 2011 might be the year that I admit to being a beer drinker.

Hope 2011 is filled with the best wine that life (and your wallet) has to offer!!!
