In a daring and apparently unprecedented bit of crime, someone broke into the Guinness brewery in Dublin yesterday and stole 450 kegs of beer and stout. And the manhunt is on.
Ireland’s national police force, the Garda Siochana, announced the nationwide manhunt earlier today. A lone man drove into the brewery Wednesday and hitched a fully [...]

Steve Hindy, co-founder of Brooklyn Brewery, lost his son last week in a bike accident in New York. Our condolences.
Sam Hindy, 27, was killed on Nov. 16 after he and a friend mistakenly biked onto the upper level of the bridge, which is reserved for cars and trucks. When Hindy turned around, he hit a [...]

Today’s Thrillist missive is about the Radegast Biergarten, a new Polish/Slovakian beer hall with rough-hewn tables, retractable roof panels, tons of beer and cordials, and lots of chewy Eastern European staples like schnitzel and braised rabbit. I’m sure it’ll be packed to the gills, but it sounds like a fun place to hang out without [...]

Starting tonight, Hop Devil Grill in Manhattan’s Lower Easy Side will have the following beers on tap for a week. I won’t be there tonight, but as I’m a bit of a fiend for hops myself—and I like Hop Devil’s selection already—I’m definitely going to check it out:

Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA
Smuttynose Big A IPA
Captain [...]

The beer maker has leased 18,000 square feet of space in a former Packaging Resources Inc. building in Longmont, where it will brew and package all of Oskar Blues’ canned and [...]

Enjoy unnecessary field sobriety tests? Nothing gives me the jollies more than a cop forcing me to walk a line while repeating the Declaration of Independence backwards and blowing into a high-tech dildo. Decorating your vehicle with beer pong memorabilia is just asking for this to happen, but you are a champion, so who give [...]

The art of tailgating is something that has always boggled my mind. Sitting outside of a stadium, cooking and drinking (often in the freezing cold) and waiting for a game to start. It is really just glorified line-standing, but regardless, this Gameday Customs trailer will make tailgating that much better. It includes a 27-inch LCD [...]

I don’t know that the Beer Director index of beer-related YouTube videos is very essential, but I could see myself finding a few videos there every once in a while, like this Flying Dog Brewery tour series that is currently their top featured video.
I didn’t realize how vulgar most of the Flying Dog labels actually [...]

According some work done by researchers, the beer belly—or at least the idea that beer and wine specifically show up as pounds over the gut—may be a myth:
There were few heavy drinkers. Just 3% of men drank more than 14 litres of beer in a week and just five women regularly consumed more than 7 [...]

My apologies for the awkward formatting on this post, but I couldn’t bear to shear away or compress a single pixel of one man’s glorious office conquest.

There is no beer here.

Seriously, do not mess around with me. Where is the beer?

Oh, you’re good.
(Thanks, Chumford!)

They’re even selling and filling growlers. Too bad I don’t live anywhere near there!
Racked took a trip and checked it out. The verdict: it is full of beer.
