Not gonna lie, I was nervous about Boonville 2010 in the days leading up to it. After hearing all the stories of debauchery and mayhem, I feared for survival.
Needless to say, I am still alive — although I did not leave the festival without battle wounds. Here is the slightly brief tale of my experience:
Half [...]
This past weekend, Triple Rock Brewery and Alehouse, the longest running brewpub in the United States, hosted its annual Firkin Fest. About 25 breweries from all over California submitted a cask for the event. Proceeds from the event went to benefit the Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation.
Triple Rock is well-known in the Bay Area for [...]
Tomorrow is Earth Day! Woot woot!
(For those of you who have trouble remembering the date, it is always two days after 4/20 … yeah just saying)
And although I am a firm believer in celebrating Earth Day everyday, the date itself is a great opportunity to challenge and inspire people all over the world to change [...]
Exactly one week from now I was in Chicago, where I spent roughly 6 days partaking in the madness known as the 20120 Craft Brewers Conference and the 2010 World Cup.
Last week I reported back to you with highlights of my first two days — what I will refer to as “pre-conference” days. Tuesday night [...]

This is probably my simplest and healthiest beer recipe ever. And it takes literally no time to make. Win win win.
As for the “white” fish, it all depends on what area of the world you live and what season it is … obviously, fresh fish is the best. I suggest a very light (in flavor) [...]
Some people like maltier English-style IPAs. Some prefer the more resiny and hoppy American-style IPAs. Personally, my favorite is the West Coast IPA.
To each their own, right?
The other day I opened up what I will refer to as an “old” IPA. It had lost most of its, once very pronounced, Pacific Northwest hop aroma and [...]
Cooking with beer has become a relatively new obsession of mine. As much as I hate “wasting” beer experimenting with recipes, when I stumble upon something “successful” it can be worth it.
My rule of thumb (as with most chefs), is that any recipe that calls for water is an easy opportunity to add more flavor. [...]
Where were we? Ah yes, I last left off on Wednesday.

My sincere apologies to my fellow HopPress writers and my editor, Mario Rubio, for neglecting my HopPress column. There are reasons, but this is not the time or forum to discuss them.

Last week I had the opportunity to partake in 7 of the 10 days of San Francisco [...]
