TWIB – Missing In Action

This Week in Beer (TWIB) is a feature where I’ll highlight some craft beers I had during this past week mixed with some related (and unrelated) thoughts. Yes, it’s a play on the name of the show This Week in Baseball which I grew up on and loved.

Phew. Life has been flying by at a million miles an hour the past couple of weeks. Fortunately I’ve been having fun along the way and more importantly, have been drinking some good beers.

Inaugural SOB Dinner

Over the weekend I hosted the inaugural Short On Beer Dinner. The crowd consisted of 11 people, including myself. I served Port City Derecho Common, 21^st Amendment Bitter American, New Belgium Hoppy Bock, Stone IPA and RJ Rocker’s Son of a Peach. I had everyone rate the beers on different qualities. I’ll tally up the results and posts some awesome pictures next week. My wife slaved over the decorations and dinner. It was a mini crafting sweatshop for the few days leading up to the event. She even etched glasses with Short On Beer on them (she’s a keeper). More on this next week complete with a photo gallery!

**Note — I’d like to host a SOB dinner each season. Contact me if you’re interested in joining in on the fun.**

Introducing Greenville Brew Tours

If you’re interested in South Carolina beer, small business or craft beer in general, this video is for you. Watch as I interview Andy Moller of Greenville Brew Tours, a new craft beer small business in Greenville, South Carolina.

“…to be able to sample some of the best beer they’ve ever had.”

Greenville Brew Tours opens up this Saturday. Good luck, Andy!

A question I took away from this was, “do I have what it takes to start a small business in the craft beer market?” I think I know the answer. Do you have aspirations of starting your own beer-related business? What business would you start if you could?
