I love smoked beer so much! My friends at Here Today in Seattle made a lovely 3.1% grodziskie I've been enjoying... but now I want Fumé! Probably isn't distributed on the West Coast...

Regarding BrewDog, even more disturbing than their looming US presence is the fact that the day after the BBC documentary aired last year, the pubs in Glasgow, Scotland, where I was at the time, were all packed. Nobody seemed even fazed...

That sounds lovely, indeed--light grodziskies for the win. Unfortunately, yeah, you're most likely right--I don't think Fumé is out on the West Coat...but at least there seems to be a growing presence of smoked options!

Ugh, yeah, totally--hate that that happens and even more so that it's so *not* surprising. So many people who feel too inconvenienced at the thought of caring.

Thanks for cluing us in to Rauchbier month! We are happily on board and will be more ready next year with some great selections. Love the smoked beers and especially love turning other people onto their unique intensity and versatility. Also, resonate deeply with the tarot draw. Thanks for all your wonderful writing and insight!

Happy to, three cheers for smoked beer! Absolutely agree. And I'm glad the tarot resonated this week. Thanks for reading and for your kind words, Keith!
