[Rubenstein] doesn't see wheat beer as a fad. "Of all the beers we produce, it has become our third most popular beer," he notes. Considering Middle Ages bottles up to 20 varieties of beer, the high ranking is a testament to wheat beer's luscious effect on the lush's palette. As a matter of fact, Middle Ages developed a 10 percent alcohol-content wheat beer to bottle and commemorate apropos for their 1 lth anniversary. The 22-ounce bottles of "1 1th Anniversary Double Wheat" are still for sale, but running drier by the day in the gift shop, where you can also purchase cases and kegs.
If you're having a hard time deciding on which case or keg to purchase, the gift shop-open Mondays through Fridays, 1 1:30 am to 6 p.m., and Saturdays, 1 1:30 am. to 5 p.m-also features a bar with seven bee...

Brettanomyces a wild yeast, known colloquially as [Brett], that lives on the skins of fruit and falls into the same "can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em" category as a late-night booty call. In the wrong setting (most beers; out for brunch with mom and dad), a nuisance and a cause of spoilage. In the right setting (some Belgian styles such as Iambics and gueuzes; at last call), a reason to rejoice and order another. While different strains produce numerous flavors and aromas, the most common are often described as either sour, funky or barnyard.
Cask Derived from the Spanish cascara, or bark, they surround, hold and protect beer like the bark of a tree. It is the original method of storing and serving beer. "Cask-conditioned" beers, which undergo a second fermentation in the cas...

I wasn't planning to get drunk," he slurred repeatedly to his friend who'd given him a lift home. "I don't know how it happened." "I do," retorted his friend. "You didn't drink four beers. You drank four Tröegenators." At 8.2 percent alcohol by volume (ABV), Tröegs Brewing Company's Troegenator Double Bock packs a far stronger alcoholic punch than the Yuenglings (4.9 percent) and Miller Lites (4.2 percent) that your typical American guzzles while he yahoos with his buddies. But it's not even close to the strongest brew on tap for Philly Beer Week. With a parade of craft beers that will weigh in at up to a jaw-dropping 25 percent ABV (Samuel Adams Utopias - one of the strongest beer in the world), most of Beer Week's events could prove to be a powder keg for the uninitiated and unaware....

Lake Louie takes its name from the quarter-acre pond on the property, which was once owned by [Tom Porter]'s uncle Louie. Growing up, Tom and the locals enjoyed the pond's skinny-dipping opportunities. On a recent snowy Saturday, the namesake pond was white-covered and frozen.
In the summer months, the brewery's seasonal Prairie Moon is a light-golden, Belgian-style ale with hints of coriander and orange. It's refreshing stuff, and it pairs well with fish and seafood. Current seasonal beers include Milk Stout, a creamy, medium-bodied dark beer with light sweetness, and a very hoppy India Pale Ale called Kiss the Lips, which Porter introduced last fall. Named as a tribute to Porter's wife, Deann, the beer has proved so popular that Lake Louie continues to make it.
Business is booming at ...

Monterey rules honor those with an unforgiving forehand, a quick sip, and a high tolerance for keg beer. Each player starts the game with a full red Igloo cup of beer in front of them on the table. Players alternate serves, playing standard ping-pong with one fundamental difference - hitting the other team's cup is the object of the game. When that happens on a serve or in a rally, the members of the team that hit the cup start drinking their beers as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, the other team must track down the carom, return the ball to the table and shout "Stop.
You wouldn't know it from the look of them, but these are people with day jobs. Over there's an environmental attorney dressed as Terry Schiavo's feeding tube. He's talking with a venerable high school history teac...

Clark's Ale House, 122 W. Jefferson St. (479-9859), has been serving pumpkin beer for quite some time now, but has seen a yearly growth in customer anticipation of the seasonal spirit the closer we get to finishing out this decade. "The five years I've been at Clark's I've seen more and more different types of pumpkin beers come out," says Steve LaCount, beer manager at the craft brew mecca on the outskirts of Armory Square. "And obviously that increased supply is a direct result of it growing in popularity among beer drinkers.
LaCount notes that they only order one keg per each variety of pumpkin beer served because they like to rotate their draft lineup; once the barrel goes dry, a new brand is brought in. This month, they've served Saranac Pumpkin Ale and Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpki...

Neil Diamond released a new album a few weeks ago that was destined for greatness and was selling like keg beers at an outdoor Ben Harper show. But after only a week on the shelves it was pulled. The problem wasn't with sales--it was the No. 5 best seller at The Record Exchange--the problem was with an added "bonus" on the disc--a creepy little piece of code called a "rootkit." What is a rootkit? On Wikipedia.com, a rootkit is defined as: "A set of software tools used by a third party (usually an intruder) after gaining access to a computer system. These tools conceal [certain] processes, files or data, which helps maintain access to a system without the user's knowledge.
Spyware and virus jerks use rootkits to ruin computers and steal information. What made the Sony BMG rootkit speci...
