Today is International IPA Day.
Stillwater is releasing an oak wine barrel-aged version of Cellar Door. This is part of its barrel-aged series; the brewery previously got label approval for a bourbon barrel-aged version of Existent.
Miller Lite has a problem with sales. Vortex bottle and triple hops brewed no longer effective selling points? That's too bad. Granted, this is from an advertising periodical, but I love how the article points out that the solution isn't making a better beer, but "to find marketing solutions" to the problem. Miller is on top of the problem, though, assuming "record rainfall" doesn't "limit beer occasions" in future quarters.
The Bruery has been active on Twitter lately, posting a photo of their raspberry sour blending session, as well as a photo of the groundbreaking for their new warehouse, which will hold a whole bunch of new barrels. The barrel-room expansion was discussed previously here.
Hair of the Dog's Adam from the Wood debuts on the Beer Advocate Top 100 at #94 with 21 reviews and a 4.63 average.

Bloomberg has a video with a profile of Dogfish Head founder Sam Calagione.
It looks like The Bruery did some sour barrel blending today.

Flying Dog now has a partial victory in its battle with the Michigan Liquor Control Commission. Yesterday, the Commission reversed its earlier decision banning Flying Dog's signature Raging Bitch Belgian IPA because of the name and supposedly graphic artwork. Flying Dog previously filed a lawsuit in federal court in Michigan, alleging violation of its First Amendment rights. The brewery's blog indicates that the lawsuit will still go forward as the brewery seeks to vindicate the rights of breweries to engage in free speech, and also seeks damages for lost sales during the period in which the beer was banned.
Top 100 News: Funky Buddha's "No Crust" debuts on Beer Advocate's Top 100 list at #97 with a 4.79 average (14 reviews).
The Wall Street Journal has an article on session beer, recommending Troegs Sunshine Pils, Full Sail Session Black Lager, Great Divide Samurai, Deschutes Twilight Summer Ale, and Sixpoint Sweet Action.
Short's and Dogfish Head have a new collaboration coming out -- a Baltic Porter base that includes Delaware beach plums, horehound from Michigan, and some red popcorn sent in by Nick Floyd at Three Floyds.
The Bruery makes beer geeks everywhere salivate with a photo of their barrel room.

Back at it, yet again with a big day for news.
The Bruery announced its Project Quercus Maximus. The highlight is that the brewery has leased a new warehouse that will hold THOUSANDS of barrels for an expanded barrel series. With this, The Bruery will be cutting Orchard White from production and making Rugbrod available only in the fall and winter. Hottenroth will be available in the spring and summer.
New Belgium -- following in the footsteps of Sierra Nevada's recent announcement -- also plans to open an East Coast brewery. This will increase production and reduce the environmental impact of sending beer to the East Coast. This falls on the hells of the brewery's announcement that it will expand its distribution to Virginia, DC, and Maryland by the end of 2011.

Unbelievable news came today, as it was reported that Anheuser-Busch is purchasing Goose Island. Current brewmaster Greg Hall will be stepping down. The special announcement letter from Goose Island's founder John Hall is available here. Further information is available in the press release, which indicates that the two Goose Island brewpubs are not part of the deal. It also indicates that John Hall will remain in his current role. It will be interesting to see how all of this shakes out, though it's possible that things could remain relatively the same for GI.
An interview with Greg Hall is available here. In it, he indicates that he plans to leave the beer industry, and that this was the perfect time to do it. Given his connection to the food community, I wonder whether he involves himself more on the food side, still interacting quite a bit with the brewing community?
Flying Dog has sued the Michigan Liquor Control Commission, alleging violating of its freedom of speech for Michigan's rejection of its "Raging Bitch" label.
The Bruery posted a photo of Sean Lawson of Lawson's Finest helping out at the brewery, saying that they're working on a collaboration that will, of course, involve maple syrup.

Mike over at themadfermentationist recently posted an extraordinarily-informative post entitled "Maintaining Brett and Lacto Cultures."
The Bruery received over 100 new bourbon barrels today. Who wouldn't be excited about that?
Modern Cow (aka alfrantzell of Beer Advocate) has a gut-wrenchingly-hilarious series of comics regarding Tomme Arthur of The Lost Abbey.
