Click here to test your beer geography knowledge--10 minutes to name which of the 49 listed beers correspond to which state. Note that North Dakota does not currently have any production breweries, though that is set to change later this year.
The Indy Star has an article detailing some concerns that Three Floyds, Upland, and Sun King have regarding the state's taxation. As these three breweries approach annual production volumes of 20,000 barrels, they'll be subject to higher taxes and lose other benefits unless Indiana changes its 1993 law.

After you head over to WaPo's brackets, vote here in Round 3 of DRAFT Magazine's bracket.
DRAFT Magazine drops the scoop that Anchor is to re-release the coveted Our Barrel Ale.
Beer Pulse has information on this year's Samuel Adams Longshot six packs, which will contain two bottles each of the following: Friar Hop Ale (Belgian IPA), Blackened Hops (American Black Ale), and Honey B’s Lavender Wheat (American Pale Wheat Ale).
Northern Brewer received a cease and desist letter from Bell's, which does not want Northern Brewer to refer to its Bell's Two Hearted Ale clone as Three Hearted Ale. See the Beer Advocate community's thoughts on the subject here.

Daily Beer Digest
Here is the first installment of Daily Beer Digest, which I hope will be a recurring event.
I had a few extra minutes this morning, so I added the dry hops to my Bitter Beer Face American Bitter, which I brewed on March 6. Thanks to all those on the Beer Advocate Homebrewing forum for helping out with this one. This was my first time adding dry hops in the carboy--rather than in the keg--with unwaxed dental floss used to hold the hop bag in suspension. The procedure was easy enough, and hopefully it yields good results.
Upland Lambics went on sale at 12:00 PM EDT this afternoon. This round Upland offered the Blackberry and Cherry Lambics with a limit of 1 per style per person at $20 per bottle. Amy and I were each lucky enough to grab an allocation of each style. Looking forward to it as the Blackberry is the only variety I haven't been able to try yet.
Deschutes has finalized expansion plans that will eventually result in a capacity increase of 105,000 barrels, responding to an increase in demand for their products. Good news has been coming from Deschutes lately, as they also recently announced that they'll be pasteurizing their beer that comes out of barrels after having infection issues with 2009 Abyss and 2009 Mirror Mirror. Amy and I were luckily spared with The Abyss, as none of our 6 bottles were infected. We're hoping for the same for the 3 bottles of Mirror Mirror I gave Amy for Christmas, as this it's one of her favorite beers. We opened one that was infection-free just after Christmas, so we're hoping that the rest are the same and have the refrigerated just to be safe.
The beer menu for SAVOR was announced. Overall, some very good things to try, though some breweries are a bit disappointing. I'd especially like to see Cigar City be a little bit more adventurous. I wasn't particularly pleased with them offering off-the-shelf bottled beers at this year's Night of the Funk, especially with the knowledge that I had passed on this year's Hunahpu's release and its crazy draft lineup in favor of the Night of the Funk / Extreme Beer Fest combo.
Hoosier Beer Geek put up an interview with Barnaby from Three Floyds, detailing some information about this year's Dark Lord Day. Judging by the picture in the post, this year's wax color with be yellow.
In other absolutely fantastic Three Floyds news, Zombie Dust (formerly Cenotaph) will apparently be released in six packs.
Founders' new bottling line is up and running.
Brew Your Own posted on article on reading malt specification sheets.
Alaskan Brewing will be headed to Minnesota starting in May. Great news for me, as now I should be able to order their beers when I make my online Surly purchases at France 44.
