As a general editorial principle, I try to avoid telling America’s craft brewers what to do with their businesses. I make my bones writing about beer, not making it, and I make an effort to respect the very real boundaries between the two. That being said, brewers, I have a gentle suggestion to submit for your consideration. It’s a timely one, being as we’re about halfway through Dry January 2024, but it has year-round potential to bolster your bottom line and put your brand in front of new drin

Brooklyn Brewery’s Black Ops is back again in pint-sized cans — again relying on Four Roses barrels to age its hearty Russian Imperial stout for nine months before release. I found the 2023 expression rather fruitier than prior editions, and quite a bit less fizzy.

And though it can be fun to buy into the pomp and circumstance of traditional wine service, some things are more necessary for a proper experience while others are relics of the past that could be just fine to skip.
