So little, in fact, that I didn't get an outside shot. I normally don't let bad weather stop me from getting a shot, but this was a cold day, it was rainy, and I just didn't have it in me. As I post, it's a sunny day in the middle of summer. This would have been a better day for the review to take place. This is doing that thing where is looks really… ## [Embracing The Parisian Cafe Model: Phase Three Taking Over Metropolitan Space; Fulton Brewing Forms True North Beverage, Acquires Bemidji Brewing](https://beercrunchers.substack.com/p/embracing-the-parisian-cafe-model) _2026-08-18 · Doug Veliky · Beer Crunchers_ The dream of opening a brewery captured the imagination of many would-be entrepreneurs over the last 15 to 20 years. ## [It's Still Miller Time at American Family Field](https://beercrunchers.substack.com/p/its-still-miller-time-at-american) _2026-08-11 · Doug Veliky · Beer Crunchers_ At the Beer Marketers Insights conference in June, former Molson Coors executive Pete Marino had one of the most memorable quotes. ## [If You're Not First, You're Last: Seasonal Creep Brings Licensing Deals, New Variety Packs, and Fun Styles](https://beercrunchers.substack.com/p/if-youre-not-first-youre-last-seasonal) _2026-08-07 · Doug Veliky · Beer Crunchers_ We’re in the heat of the summer and you know what that means…Oktoberfest beers are marching their way onto store shelves just as Christmas decorations are on the verge of hitting Costco later this month. ## [Moving Targets: Why Evolving Beer Styles Aren't "Just Marketing"](https://beercrunchers.substack.com/p/moving-targets-why-evolving-beer) _2026-08-04 · Doug Veliky · Beer Crunchers_ A follower reached out on Instagram recently and asked for my Mount Rushmore of Chicago pale ales. ## [New Realm "Hazy Like A Fox" IPA](https://www.bfbcping.com/2026/08/new-realm-hazy-like-fox-ipa.html) _2026-08-02 · BFBC-Ping · BFBC Ping_ Will the second beer be the breakout hit? Well, it couldn't have been worse than the Rabbit that pooped in my mouth. That thing was so bad I can still taste it. I have since gone and looked at third party reviews, and I have no idea what the issue was. They taste something I did not. They didn't taste the horror that I did. The problem now is that I picked this up this beer in the same trip from… ## [Southern Grist "Hoppy Crisp" Pilsner](https://www.bfbcping.com/2026/07/southern-grist-hoppy-crisp-pilsner.html) _2026-08-01 · BFBC-Ping · BFBC Ping_ I like hops. I usually like them in IPAs , but I am not going to frown upon them being added to a nice, crisp pilsner . Is this going to be one of those? Well, I think it has a good shot of being an excellent melding of more than one style. The crisp and relatively demure nature of a pilsner could really stand to be enliven to buy a hop or two. I don't know when they started dry hopping things,… ## [A Top Grocery Store Chain Just Launched THC Beverages.

Maybe I should write these reviews from the perspective as someone either standing in waders or sitting in a boat. Well, I'm not doing either. I'm sitting on a deck, watching a scrapy dog play gleefully with a big, red ball. Am I having as much fun as those fishing guys? Well, I may never know. Is this a bit more orange than the… ## [The Attention Economy Runs on Creative Grenades](https://beercrunchers.substack.com/p/the-attention-economy-runs-on-creative) _2026-07-15 · Doug Veliky · Beer Crunchers_ Craft beer has always been fun, but it also built much of its identity around education. ## [Northwoods "Glass" Double Dry Hopped IPA](https://www.bfbcping.com/2026/07/northwoods-glass-double-dry-hopped-ipa.html) _2026-07-11 · BFBC-Ping · BFBC Ping_ Is it as smooth as glass? Is that how it got that name? Is it smooth like a glassy lake where you might go fishing (which is to say, less smooth than actual glass)? I mention fishing, as it really seems like the fine folks at Northwoods really like to fish, as I can recognize a fishing lure approximately 37% of the time, and their logo makes it particularly easy. Either way, I'm not fishing today.… ## [Coming and Going From a Massive Retailer Near You: Kirkland Lager Out, Super Lager In](https://beercrunchers.substack.com/p/coming-and-going-from-a-massive-retailer) _2026-07-09 · Doug Veliky · Beer Crunchers_ Back in May, a subscriber reached out because he couldn’t find Costco’s Kirkland Signature Helles Lager on his last visit. ## [The Market Expansion / Sales Rep Conundrum](https://beercrunchers.substack.com/p/the-market-expansion-sales-rep-conundrum) _2026-07-06 · Doug Veliky · Beer Crunchers_ As the barriers to enter the beer and beverage industry reach all-time lows, the failure rate of breweries and brands is climbing to all-time highs. ## [Tippy Cow "Chocolate Shake" Rum Cream](https://www.bfbcping.com/2026/07/tippy-cow-chocolate-shake-rum-cream.html) _2026-07-02 · BFBC-Ping · BFBC Ping_ I like to think that, much like the old idea that you get chocolate milk by feeding chocolate to a cow, that these cows have had chocolate and rum fed to them. The question is if the use of "Tippy" is in place of "Tipsy" for any particular reason. I've heard stories about people tipping cows, but I suspect it's just an urban legend. Maybe there's already a Tipsy Cow Distillery. You know what?… ## [Hi-Wire "Bed of Nails" Brown ale](https://www.bfbcping.com/2026/06/hi-wire-bed-of-nails-brown-ale.html) _2026-06-28 · BFBC-Ping · BFBC Ping_ The brown ales have their work cut out for them. I'm just not a huge fan, they tend to be very bland, and it's hard to get excited about them. At 5.5% ABV , they aren't even bringing very much heft into the mix. But, Hi-Wire has few losses to their name and so many great beers that I just can't help thinking they're going to be the ones to crack this nut. I do not recall a brown ale that wouldn't… ## [How Craft Breweries Can Prepare For The Extreme Analog Era](https://beercrunchers.substack.com/p/how-craft-breweries-can-prepare-for) _2026-06-26 · Doug Veliky · Beer Crunchers_ Rarely does someone say, “I want to play Jenga. ## [Think of Craft Beer Like a Book...](https://beercrunchers.substack.com/p/think-of-craft-beer-like-a-book) _2026-06-23 · Doug Veliky · Beer Crunchers_ Last week I spoke on a panel at the Craft Beer Professionals Connects conference in Chicago alongside Tracey Ireland of Rhinegeist and Matt Steinke of Go Brewing at a session titled “The Wild, Wild West: Preparing for the Next Frontier.” The moderator and former brewery owner, Tim Hohl, began by asking us each to share one thing that we’re genuinely excited or optimistic about right now. ## [Trade Bitcoin and Ethereum Today (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/WT10MwzUeK7F) _2026-06-23 · **Sponsored**_ Buy, sell, and margin trade BTC and ETH with EUR, USD, CAD, GBP, or JPY. ## [Yee Haw "XPA" Extra Pale Ale](https://www.bfbcping.com/2026/06/yee-haw-xpa-extra-pale-ale.html) _2026-06-20 · BFBC-Ping · BFBC Ping_ This little brewery that could really enjoys making beer that I'm used to enjoying. It seems like picking an extra pale ale is kind of going a step further. I don't even recall the last time I had an extra pale ale , let alone liked one. It's certainly not a style most breweries go for, and there's probably a reason for that, despite the fact that I don't know what it is. But, these guys have… ## [Mill Creek "Six One" Lime Light American Lager](https://www.bfbcping.com/2026/06/mill-creek-six-one-lime-light-american.html) _2026-06-20 · BFBC-Ping · BFBC Ping_ Not sure why this is called 6-1. Maybe it has something to do with some road or something around Nolensville Tennessee, but I had initially assumed it was the ABV of the beer. This ABV is a much lower 4.5% , but that's still good for a low calorie beer. Maybe it's 61 calories? That would seem particularly low, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of information on the can to indicate why they… ## [Urban Chestnut Zwickel Lager](https://www.bfbcping.com/2026/06/urban-chestnut-zwickel-lager.html) _2026-06-18 · BFBC-Ping · BFBC Ping_ A zwickel is a kellerbier. What do either of those words mean? Look, I'm not fluent in German , and I've already done more homework for this by connecting those two words. What should I expect from this beer? Well, I'm thinking it'll be more than a bit German, and that might mean I wind up making a comment about the many afternoons I enjoyed with my brother in the Penn Brewery, smelling the wort,… ## [Cincy Light Vs.
