Flag of some country where I may be vacationing

No update this week, I am afraid my vacation has interrupted my normal This Week in Beer plans, but rest assured, I will be coming back to you next week with some exciting new interviews and maybe even some fun vacation videos. No I am not going to tell you where I am, you will just follow me and make me drink and talk about beer with you.  Come to think of it, that is what I’ll be doing anyway. But no, you still can’t come, you’ll have to wait for the pictures.  Yes, that means I am going to make you look at my boring slideshow, now get the popcorn ready.

We had a real treat recently, we had a visit from Barry Johnson. Barry is the founder, president, and brewmaster of Saugatuck Brewing Company as well as the Mayor of the city of Saugatuck.  Paul talked to him about how he got into the business, his personal philosophy on beer as well as the dynamic of running a brewery as well as a town. Check out the video after the break.

What happened to Wednesday? damn that sucks, I slept at my desk all night. And now I have keyboard face. I have got to stop doing that. Ew, my mouth tastes like, email. Gross. While I go and brush my teeth, you can entertain yourself with this Brewer’s Night interview with Ted Whitney from Avery Brewing Company.  Quite a character that guy.  Enjoy.

You may have noticed a slight change of the site over the past few weeks.  We have begun putting our videos behind the fold in our posts.  If you have been linking directly to each new post, then you wouldn’t have noticed, but if you are coming from the homepage then you haven’t been seeing the videos when all of the posts are listed.  In order to clean up the look of the site and speed up loading times, we have moved all of the videos behind the fold so you will have to click on the title of the post, or the “more” link in order to see them.  I think this will end up making everyone’s thisweekinbeer experience a little better.  Thanks.
