One of the coolest little hidden internet nuggets of joy in the beer world? Clicking UNDER 21 on Black Acre Brewing’s website. Well, He-man has a new music video. Homeboy is busy in Eternia. Don’t be so serious all the time ok?
Jocelyn “Jay Cee” Cambier hails from France. He’ll be the first to tell you that Brittany (where he was born) drinks more beer than wine. In 1987 he joined the wine business, becoming a professional wine taster. In 2007 he started tasting beer which as he puts it – “changed my life.” For the past 4 years his life has been about beer. He’s even a beer importer now. What Jay Cee found to be lacking was glassware that truly accentuated the tasty beer inside it.
The road to The Better Beer Glass started with a massive lineup of beers of every style imaginable, lots of glassware, and a thirst. He and his associates compared styles and glassware to see which truly showed off the beer. The winning glassware might surprise you. A burgundy glass, and a champagne flute.
Combining the two glass styles, this Better Glass was born. Each glass is handblown in France in one piece. No soldering. Designed from the ground up to stimulate the aroma, nose and bouquet of the beer. The wider base allows you to swirl and arose the beer without splashing. Jay Cee says the glass changes the whole sensory experience of drinking beer.
A big benefit for retailers – the glasses are dishwasher safe. Lasting around 2,000 cycles. Each glass has a 4 point star etched at the 4 oz mark, right where there beer & air meet at the deepest part of the glass. A case of 6 runs $36. [Glass4Beer]

It’s Hopslam season again. The frantic rush to the store to get one of the most coveted IPAs in the states is on. The brewery wanted fans to write their own personal poetic “ode” to the beer. The results are either really cool or just…weird. [BellsBeer]
hopslammed! damn… I am!
thanks, ma’am, or sir, as it were
bright hop profusion
sweet honey soothes, so divine
two grand peers entwine
what a lovely afterglow

Those tart hoppy notes
Tickle the back of my throat
Big smile on my face
The high gravity
Alcohol fruit fantasy
Gotta buy a case
– David Mickey-Pabello (second place – Hopslam brew double haiku)
Oh bountiful hops
A delight in bitterness
GET IN MAH BELLY!
– Karla Metzger (third place)
There is a brewer named Bell.
Who makes great beers really swell
When he got in a jam
He created Hopslam
And now the world is all well.

Pop the Hopslam top, into my gullet she flows, shoulda bought a case.

A new project on Kickstarter is looking to bring The Beer Hunter, Michael Jackson back to life.
Beer Hunter: The Movie is a documentary film about the British journalist and author Michael Jackson, who’s books and television series about beer inspired the global phenomenon that is the craft brewing renaissance. An intimate portrait based on over 60 hours of rare, recent video footage, Beer Hunter sheds insight into the life and contributions of this brilliant and beloved man, who, while quietly battling Parkinson’s, became the leading voice and inspiration behind the craft brewing movement. For those who had ever met Michael Jackson, or were deeply inspired by his work, it’s hard to imagine that he is no longer with us.
The producers have over 60 hours of unaired footage of Michael Jackson, after following him around the world. With so many people just getting into drinking beer, it would be amazing to reintroduce the world to a beer drinking legend. [Kickstarter]
