Number 1: This tweet from Life Hacks

I’m sure some would find this very handy indeed.

Number 2: Mashable – A Song of Beer and Weed
A great read about how a “massive doobie” and a drug bust almost signalled the end for Lagunitas.

Number 3: First We Feast – How The West Coast Style IPA Conquered the World
A nicely-written and informative piece about the history of the US IPA. And it includes a photo of a hop torpedo. Don’t recall ever seeing one of them before.

Number 4: Girl + Beer – Forget the “craft” debate, let’s get rid of “snob”
Agreed. I’ve never understood why someone would proudly refer to themselves as a beer snob, given that the word “snob” has such derogatory connotations.

Number 5: Beer Is Your Friend – A Surprising Imported Beer
In which I discover that an Australian bottle shop chain chose to have their cheap own-label beer made overseas rather than right here. Now THAT’S “UnAustralian”.

Number 6: …And it’s not beer but you’ll like it.

Just for fun, see how many well-known guitar riffs you can spot in this song.
