If you don’t want a beer watching this video, I don’t know why you are are here. The “Pope of Foam” UC Davis brewing science professor Charles Bamforth explains why beer foam is important. Smell is just as important as taste when you’re drinking a pint.
Red Brick Brewing (Atlanta, Georgia) just brewed their biggest beer to date – 20th Anniversary Imperial Stout. The beer clocks in at the highest ABV they have ever created – 10.5% ABV.
Instead of doing another American Strong Ale – Garrett Lockhart and Steve Anderson and brew crew went another direction. And big. This boozy imperial stout doesn’t disappoint straight out of the brite tank (finishing tank) and most definitely won’t after 4 months in Buffalo Trace barrels.

Founders Brewing (Grand Rapids, MI) announced last week they will start canning for the first time in their 15 year history. Interestingly, the actual canning line was on display at the Craft Brewer’s Conference in Washington D.C. This is the actual machine at work.

The Brew Pack 150 by the Switchback Group.
This is the canning line in action. (Using Point cans as an example.) Look for All Day IPA by the pool this summer.
Pizza Boy Brewing (Enola, PA) has been spending a little bit of time here in March experimenting with canning sour beers.

The brewery is hoping to launch the the cans (if all goes well) late Spring, early Summer, 2013. Pizza Boy is also undergoing a multi-million dollar expansion/brewery build out just down the road from the current location. Look for an inside look from Beer Street Journal later in the week.
