With courage to brew
The ages become less dark
Sparks become a Star
Written by Captain Hops.
References: Stella Artois is launching their new website tomorrow, Tuesday, September 18, 2007. They have been building excitement and dropping hints and giving previews about it for the last few weeks on their blog. I was given a preview of the site this weekend and I have to say it is pretty spectacular. The care and craft and expense that went into producing the site, the games, the cinematic elements, the score, the clips and every aspect of the site are nothing short of remarkable.
Just to give you an idea of how cool the site is, I will let you know that the promo packet that was sent to me was… er… diverted by a customs agent somewhere between Belgium and Baltimore. I don’t mean to jump to conclusions about anyone, but I can only assume that the agent or agents (could there be a conspiracy?!) likely spent the whole weekend viewing the videos and attempting to master the games and challenges that the general public will only get access to tomorrow.
I highly recommend checking out the site when it opens.

Perusing the taps
a rush of excitement when
I see something new
Written by Captain Hops.
References: I am trying out a new theme for this site. There are some things I like a lot and some things that will probably be tweaked in the next few weeks. Let me know what you think! I want to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly. I especially want to know if you find something that is obviously broken. Just leave a comment or use my contact form. If you normally read Beer Haiku Daily using my feed, please stop by and check out the new digs.

Hops. Malt. Water. Yeast.
So simple, yet so complex.
God’s own recipe.
Written by Captain Hops.
References: I should probably mention that the first two lines were actually written by Snekse over at the Gastronomic Fight Club. He just didn’t realize he was five syllables away from creating a haiku. I added the last line to help him finish it up. If you have a better last line for this haiku, please put it in the comments. Cheers!

On October 5, 2007, I have the honor and privilege of hosting The Session. The Session is a group writing project that was conceived by Stan Hieronymus of Appellation Beer and Brew Like a Monk fame.
The concept is simple. On the first Friday of each month, bloggers the world over write about the same beer related theme. The host compiles a list of links to all the contributions – usually with witty commentary. Beer enthusiasts read all the entries and are educated, enriched and entertained. Comments and discussions proliferate. Lifelong friendships are formed. The world becomes a better place. A month later, we do it all again.
Traditionally the host chooses the theme. Don’t worry, I won’t make everyone write haiku or limericks or sonnets. I have chosen the theme “Beer and Food”. Mmmmmm… Beer and Food.
I am looking for posts about pairing beer with food or using beer as an ingredient in food. I hope to see recipes, pictures, tasting notes, stories, menus, reviews or anything else that fits the bill of fare. Whether you write about which beer goes best with chili dogs or give your family’s secret recipe for vegan stout stew or post pictures of those ale braised lamb shanks you had last week, I want to know every mouth watering detail.
It’s simple to participate:
If you need inspiration on this topic there are a number of books and websites available to get you started:
Books
Websites
I’ve created an information page for the Session. It includes links to the announcements and roundups of all previous Sessions as well as instructions for becoming the host of a future session.
Update: Here is the round-up of the Beer and Food Session.

Zealots, please take note
Carding senior citizens
Goes a bit too far
Written by Captain Hops.
References: 65-year-old gets carded in supermarket. It’s pretty obvious that when senior citizens are getting carded, the intention is not to keep alcohol out of the hands of minors. The intention is to make it difficult for anyone to get alcohol.
