Welcome to the new look of The Fresh Beer Times
Fresh Beer Times 3.0 has arrived. Without trying to sound too much like an old man group lists. It grew so big that I had to send out to 6 or 7 group lists because the server would o, I remember when we first started sending it out in basic text format using email only let me send to a 100 or so emails at a time. And now we have close to 4,000 regular readers who look to us for direction to the latest and greatest beer bar, to find out when the favorite seasonal beer is hitting the shelf, or what's new or next from one of the breweries we represent.
Of course we have always tried to have fun with the newsletter....just remember the picture of me (I'm really not that old or black and I don't really care for cigars!) or any of the new stories that we enlighten you with. It is the beer business...we are supposed to be having fun! But we also like to give you some other great things that go along with beer like the column on cheese and beer pairing and the cooking with beer recipes. I hope you all have tried one or two of these. There have been some delicious ones.
So enjoy the new format and if you happen to be in Key West this weekend be sure to hit one of the great events going on down there surrounding the Key West Beer Festival at the Southernmost Resort. It promises to be a really fun time down there this weekend. And if you aren't there...Have a great Labor Day!
Cheers,

This double IPA is taking IPAs in a whole new direction with the addition of rye malt and some exotic-ish additions of the lemony persuasion. It has hints of spiciness that contrast deliciously with the tropical fruit flavors and aromas of the Amarillo and Calypso hops. They then added some European specialty malts, some lemon verbena, and three more hop varieties to the mix, and you now have a highly complex brew, melding both bitter and fruity hop notes with rich toasted malt character, punctuated by nuances of spicy rye and subtle lemon. 10% ABV (bottle and draft).

Which alcoholic beverage is preferred more: Beer, or wine?
According to a new Gallup report, Americans on a whole are more likely to opt for a cold one.
However, it might be a generational -- and gender-based -- preference. People ages 55 and older are more likely to choose wine, while their younger counterparts are more likely to choose beer. And males are more likely to opt for beer, while females are more likely to opt for wine.
Thirty-nine percent of Americans surveyed said that they drink beer the most of any alcoholic beverage, followed by 35 percent of Americans saying they drink wine the most and 22 percent of Americans saying they drink liquor the most.

By: The Economist
AMERICA has a proud history of drinking on the job. Craftsmen who built the first government buildings in the 17th century were sometimes paid in brandy. The 19th-century railroaders who laid the foundations of modern America were notoriously thirsty. And anyone who thinks that "Mad Men", a TV drama in which 1960s advertising executives spend the working day sucking up Scotch, is a pastiche, would do well to talk to an account manager from the time-though his memory may be hazy.
America also has a long tradition of temperance. From the Washingtonian movement to Prohibition, there have been many attempts to sober up the workforce. Today, it seems that the battle is over and the killjoys have won.

Study Shows Marriage Stops Men Drinking - As Their Wives Hit The Bottle Instead
By: John Bingham
Far from encouraging men to patronise a local pub to escape from domestic duties, marriage actively reduces their alcohol intake, according to research being presented at the American Sociological Association today.
However, the effect on women of walking down the aisle appears to be the opposite.
The researchers found that married women generally drink more heavily than single women, widows or divorcees.
By contrast, men who are happily married drink less than their bachelor friends and significantly less than divorced men.
