the mucky stuff found at the bottom of homebrewers' carboys. Usually consists of flocculated yeast, hop bits, and other spent ingredients of beer. Bless their little souls.

Makes you wonder what my editors think of me, do it not?

In any case, my assignment will be to take a quarterly look at the brewing business scene and to be irreverent, funny, snarky and maybe just a bit cynical about it all.

Geez, what are the chances that a nice guy like me can pull that off?

Even a Blind Tiger...
...can find a beer now and then, just not now.

Perhaps the most eagerly awaited opening...or reopening...of the year is both completed and on hold at 281 Bleecker St. (between Seventh Avenue and Jones).

The Blind Tiger, one the Apple's great beer venues, reopened yesterday. It has moved (the result of a lost lease) a few blocks and, as you'll see if you go to the site and then click on the "Newsletter" link, is lookin' good.

Except there's no beer or other alcoholic beverages, pending approval of the liquor license. There's an onsite link to to a petition you can sign urging authorities to get it done already. Go do that right now.

Something to mull over during the holiday weekend.
So, what award-winning local brewer is leaving his current spot to go to another local brewery? It's a bit of a shocker.

As soon as he calls me with the go-ahead Monday or Tuesday, you'll all know. 'Til then, well, guesses are in order.

Catch up with me and see if I'll tell...
