Thursday’s ad is another one for Rainier Pale Beer, made by the Seattle Brewing & Malting Co. The ad is from 1907, and also features a lovely woman holding up a glass of beer. ALso using the “vigor” theme, there’s another priceless tagline at the end: “Bubbling with life and sparkling with snappy zest.”
Today’s infographic is a wonderful Hop Chart, created by Zeke Shore. You can get a large size poster for $30 at the Hop Chart website. I’ve posted about it before. I have one hanging in my office, it’s pretty cool.

California State Senator Noreen Evans, from District 2, honored Russian River Brewing Co. with a Resolution from the California Legislature. The resolution was also signed by Assemblyman Wesley Chesbro, who joined me and the crew from the Celebrator Beer News, at Beer Camp #93 at Sierra Nevada. Evans was also joined on stage by State Senator Alex Padilla, from District 20 (the San Fernando Valley) so that both the southern and northern parts of the state were represented.

The joint legislative resolution “recognizes RRBC’s outstanding community and customer service, exemplary business ethics and liquid craftsmanship that have provided the county with huge local economic benefits through jobs, sales and distinction.”

Below is a short video I shot of the ceremony (using Sean Paxton‘s camera because mine was unwell, and who also shot the above photos for me — thanks Sean).
UPDATE: Here’s the actual resolution:
