The Jailhouse

Doing a stint behind bars in Buena Vista, Colo., probably wasn’t much fun in 1880 when the tiny town was just forming as a stopover for miners bound for the hills. Serving time in that same building today, however, means something totally different. In July 2016, Colorado beer-industry pro-Sarah Haughey opened The Jailhouse Craft Beer Bar in the squat, 850-square-foot building that briefly served as the town jail 137 years ago.

For just the second time in its three years of operation, BrewLAB was releasing a beer in bottles, and the anticipation was palpable—for about five people. At least, that’s how many folks made it to the Carpinteria, Calif., brewery as it opened one Saturday afternoon in July.

Sensing Opportunity, Vietnam's Pasteur Street Brewing Expands

There’s a street for selling just about every kind of product or service in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi. On Hang Bac, you’ll find silver jewelry, while Hang Duong is for desserts. There’s also coffin street, noodle street, and beer street. That last one isn’t surprising: Vietnam’s largest brewery, Sabeco, estimates that the country’s 90 million citizens will drink more than 4 billion liters (about 34.2 million barrels) of beer in 2017.

What a difference a year makes. Last May, I wrote about getting a chance to can a beautiful home brew via a mobile canner operating in LA (issue #112). There’s something supremely satisfying about cracking open a can of your own. But let’s face it, there’s no way you or I could do this at home—or can we?

The Tank Brewing Company

In Miami, where local beer is now as ubiquitous as cigars, The Tank Brewing Company celebrates both. In its intimate cigar lounge, patrons can be found puffing a hand-rolled stogie while savoring Frank the Tank, a 10 percent Imperial Stout served in a tulip glass sporting the brewery’s catchphrase, “Sip & Discuss.”

Greenwarden Banded Horn Brewing Company

Spruce tips are certainly not the first ingredient that comes to mind when thinking about brewing. Although with the growth of extreme brewing, I’ve heard of and tried more beers that use this subtle flavoring. The latest example I was lucky enough to stumble upon at my local packie is Green warden from Bidder ford, Maine’s Banded Horn Brewing Company.
