  Day 13: Xmas Photos Of Beer Are Still Arriving

  Posted: November 28th, 2009, 8:04pm CET by Alan McLeod

  I am a little less than pleased with the idea of Xmas beer today. I did the math and realized that one bottle out of the six - usually a sensible session - overwhelmed the others, sneaking an extra 38% of strength into the evening. Oh, for a session beer culture. Not sorry headed or anything but who really needs to be bagged on a Saturday over a Friday night six pack? The inhumanity of it all. Anyway, enough about me. Here are two more entrants.

  Jason Faulconer of Boston, Mass - keeper of the blog Brewing the Perfect Beer - has sent these two entries from a recent trip to San Francisco's Magnolia's Pub and Brewery:

  

  Peter B. Collins, brewer assistant at Grand River Brewing in Cambridge, Ontario as sent in these five including a few from the brewery:

  

  All very snazzy with both displaying control in the all important focal depth... thing.

  How Better To Celebrate A Church's 750th Anniversary?

  Posted: November 28th, 2009, 12:15am CET by Alan McLeod

  The heart cheers at the appropriateness of this news:

  The service, which begins at 7.30pm, will reflect on the church's past, celebrate its present role and look to the next 750 years. The church choir will be joined by choirs from other local churches at this communion service. After the service, there will be refreshments available including a beer, The Bronescombe Ale, brewed for the occasion by O'Hanlon's Brewery, Whimple. The beer has been named after Bishop Walter Bronescombe who, on the feast of St Andrew in 1259, arrived in Ottery St Mary and dedicated the Church of Sancte Marie de Otery.

  There are so many words in the language that have faded from use which, like bridal, reflect a past connection between the Church and the cask. Church ales they were called. Bloggers who are much clever that I am have the details in these things. In this case, we can rely on this post by Martyn the Zythophile entitled "Ale, Churches and Brides"... but I am not sure even he knows the name for a church ale celebrating a 750th.
