    Summer Beer Intern

    Posted: March 28th, 2008, 8:51pm CET by Chris Scott

    No, not here at Hail the Ale! (unless you like to work for free, pay for your own drinks, and look good blogging–if so, we should talk) but working for the Chief Beer Officer at Four Points Sheraton.

    WHITE PLAINS, NY - March 26, 2008 - Corporate America was changed forever a year ago when Four Points by Sheraton appointed the world’s first-ever Chief Beer Officer (CBO), Scott Kerkmans. After a year in office the resident CBO has realized that a dream job can come with a nightmare work load. Scott is seeking a little sudsy help by kicking off a world wide search for a Best Brews Summer intern. The lucky lad or lass will assist the CBO with his Best Brews duties including beer tasting, trend research and brewery relations.

    As part of his undertaking the resident CBO is seeking a yeasty soul over the age of 21 with a love for lager and a thirst for industry knowledge. “I am excited to share my knowledge and experiences with someone who is as passionate about the brewing community as I am” said Kerkmans. The search for the Best Brews Summer Intern will kick off on March 26th with ads in the Wall Street Journal and a number of intern job boards like MonsterTrak and craigslist. This isn’t your frat brother’s job though,  the internship will come with the frothy perks of tasting and toasting, but will also include learning the inner workings of the Four Points by Sheraton Best Brews program and the ever expanding craft beer industry and beer business. Like all executive internships, this position will start pouring in June and tap out in August.

    Check out the press release for details.

    Lakemaid Beer

    Posted: March 26th, 2008, 8:23pm CET by Chris Scott

    What do beer, mermaids and fishing lures have in common? Everything. Just ask Lakemaid Beer. The site is a creation of August Schell Brewing Company who brews the beer and Rapala Lures who provides the lures to land the Lakemaidens.

    Pictured here is Miss Walleye although Miss Crappie caught my eye (no, I’m not making up the name, just the bad pun):

    Thanks to HTA reader Jason for emailing this in.

    Silicone: Not Just for Boobies Any More

    Posted: March 21st, 2008, 7:56pm CET by Chris Scott

    That’s right, it may have been in your beer at some point. This article points out that brewers can use silicone to prevent brew kettles from bubbling over. Don’t worry, the silicone is filtered out of the beer. Or is it?…

    BBtv editor Joel Johnson reviewed the $300 Krupps Heineken Beertender. The best way to describe the video w/out spoiling it: fauxhawk.

    YABB: Beers Of My Life

    Posted: March 5th, 2008, 12:00am CET by Chris Scott

    YABB = Yet Another Beer Blog. Don’t get me wrong, I’m always happy when another beer blog sprouts up. But, I wanted a way to note these in the post titles. So, there you go and here you are.

    Anyway…check out Beers Of My Life. According to Matt, the author of said site:

    MY ‘beer journal’ is just that, I talk about the many beers that I drink- cheap, expensive, domestic and imported I write about them all.
