American Beer TV: Beer 101 - Founding Fathers of Craft Beer Part 1

http://americanbeertv.net/ - Today we discus the factor that lead to america's beer culture being dominated by fizzy yellow beer produced by megacorperations before the craft beer revolution began. Among them are, of course, Prohibition, the Dust bowl and the Great Depression, and World War 2. All three of these created an almost thirty year period of hardship for American brewers, killing of many of the smaller local brewers.

American Beer TV: Beer tasting 42 - Saint Somewhere Lecto Divina

http://americanbeertv.net/ Here's a really interesting wild belgian strong ale from St Somewhere Brewing in Tarpon Springs, FL. This 8.0% ale is surprisingly dry, with light crisp fruity notes and plenty of floral characteristics. Never had a Belgian beer quite like this one and we mean that in a really good way.

Enjoy!

American Beer TV: Beer Tasting 38 - Caldera Brewing Ashland Amber

http://americanbeertv.net : This canned beer is a really basic, drinkable sessionable beer. It's really mellow, not a whole lot of aroma or flavor. If your looking for an easy to drink, basic craft beer, this is a good choice.

Flip's dead!

Ok, So last friday I bought a new white flip camera at best buy, and after one week it's dead. The darn thing won't turn on. It went off after recording a video Wednesday night and won't turn back on. A quick google search indicates that it's a pretty common problem.  Heading back to Best buy tomorrow to exchange it for something else. I'm thinking I will get a Kodak Zi8 or Playsport. Same price range but they support 1080 resolution instead of just 720 that the flip does.

Wish me luck!
