Ring the Bell!

I became a fan of Bell's beer about five years ago. It looks like I merely jumped on a big drunken bandwagon: "The beer business is apparently booming and Kalamazoo's Bell's Brewery is expanding just outside the city. . . Bell's has gotten the green light from Kalamazoo County to brew a lot more with a $17 million dollar expansion. . . . Bell's beer sells at a rate of 300,000 kegs a year, and the expansion will put that number closer to a million. For perspective, the Boston Beer Company which makes Sam Adams, sells about two million." [Link](http://www.wwmt.com/articles/comstock-1382393-expanding-mich.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). I'm hoping the expansion allows them to brew Oberon year-round. [According to their site](http://www.bellsbeer.com/brands/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com), it's still just a seasonal beer. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Man, those people in New York get all the good stuff: "We happened to encounter the store/bar's owner, David, an amiable guy who told us that he'll be selling a fairly mind-blowing 900 varieties of beer. He's focusing on domestic brews with an emphasis on the Northeast, but will also carry a selection from countries like Belgium and Germany. Regardless of their origin, all of the beer will be craft beer -- Coors, Budweiser, and their dubious corporate ilk are not welcome here. In addition to bottles there will be growlers, and the bar will have 12 beers on tap." [Link](http://blogs.villagevoice.com/forkintheroad/archives/2010/10/good%5Fbeer%5Fnyc%5Fc.php?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). \* \* \* \* \* \* \* There was a great bar in Ann Arbor that offered hundreds of beers. It was called "The Full Moon." I learned earlier this week that it just shut down. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Wouldn't you know? Just as I learn about them, some courts are beginning to brand them nuisances and shutting them down: [Beer Bikes](http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/oct/06/germany-bans-beer-bikes-dusseldorf?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). "Beer bikes, also known as 'pedal pubs' or 'mobile conference tables,' allow up to 16 drinkers to sit around a beer-barrel table, help themselves to on-tap beer, and listen to music while pedalling around the city. They are steered by a non-drinker employed by the operator." \* \* \* \* \* \* \* My word, I think beer violence is becoming an epidemic: "[They aren't hanging out there to talk to people - it's predatory," Desautels said. "When someone walks out of there with beer, they are on them like white on rice](http://www.torontosun.com/news/canada/2010/10/07/15612726.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)." \* \* \* \* \* \* \* To my Maryland readers: Enjoy [Baltimore Beer Week](http://www.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/music/bal-baltimore-beer-week-1007,0,7607050.story?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). I'm sure it would've made Mencken proud. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Only in California (I hope): [Beer floats](http://laist.com/2010/10/05/beer%5Ffloat%5Fshowdown%5Fii.php?ref=thedailyeudemon.com).
