Beer Logos Around The World
Today’s infographic shows beer logos around the world, with one for each country. It was created by The Logo Company, and based on the comments, not without a little controversy. I can’t say I blame many of the people complaining, ignoring Uruguay, the Philippines and Belgium, choosing Heineken for both the Netherlands and where Belgium should be does seem unforgivable. The creator, Simon McArdle, tried gamey to defend his choices but comes across as not really seeming to understand how badly flawed the effort ended up being. Ah well, at least it’s pretty to look at.

Italian Craft Beer Infographic

Spanish Beer Infographics
Today’s infographic is a series of them done for a Spanish brewery, Cervesa Moritz. Today is also the beginning of La Tomatina, which takes place each year on the last Wednesday of August in Bunol, Spain. La Tomatina is essentially the world’s biggest food fight, so it seemed the perfect day to feature posters from Spain. They were created by Brands & Roses, a Spanish ad agency in 2011. A total of six were apparently done, and there are three shown below. You can see more of the project at Relaja Elcoco.

Whole Foods To Open California Brewery
For a number of years, Whole Foods Market has carried a decent selection of craft beer and better imports, and has been steadily increasing their commitment to good beer. They have an especially decent selection for a national chain. Last week, they announced that they were taking it one step father, and opening a “6,000-square-foot, two-story craft beer brewery and tap room,” according to a story in the Silicon Valley Business Journal. This will be their first grocery store to include a brewery. The 27,291-square-foot grocery store where the brewery will occupy the rooftop, will be located at 700 The Alameda in San Jose. The company broke ground on Wednesday, and expects to include “a wall for growing hops.” The San Jose Whole Foods & Brewery is expected to open in the summer of 2014.

Fighting The Beer Revolutionary War In The Next Session
For our 79th Session, our host is Adrian Dingle, better known online simply as Ding through his Dings Beer Blog. Not surprisingly, he’s decided to shake things up with a provocative topic, the USA versus Old World Beer Culture.
Anyone with any inkling of my online, in-person and blogging presence in the American beer world since 2000, will know that the whole of my beer experience in that time has been colored by, sits against the backdrop of, and forms the awkward juxtaposition to, my English beer heritage and what has been happening the USA in the last few years. Everyone knows that I have been very vocal about this for a very long time, so when it came to thinking about what would be a great “Session” topic, outside of session beer, it seemed like that there could be only one topic; “What the hell has America done to beer?,” a.k.a., “USA versus Old World Beer Culture.”
This probably won’t be pretty, and you’re probably not gonna like it much, but hey, what’s new?
So on Friday, September 6, let the battle begin. What do you think America has done to beer? And in comparison, what about England? Are we at war? Are we having a beer war? Or is the “special relationship” intact? Grab your musket, a pewter tankard of some session beer (however you define it!) along with your laptop, and let slip the dogs of beer war.
