Roundtable Discussion | What Do You Think About Hard Seltzer?
August 29, 2019 | Keith Adams
Hard seltzer has been around for a few years but it has seen huge growth in the last year. The combo of relatively low carbs and alcohol, assortment of inoffensive flavors and lack of gluten appeals to a broad audience. In a similar format to our last roundtable discussion about the best beers of summer 2019, I checked in with a few craft beer enthusiasts to get their take on hard seltzer.

Roundtable Discussion | AB InBev Worst Case Scenarios
February 18, 2015 | Kathleen Morton
AB InBev stands for Anheuser-Busch InBev, and the company makes up some popular brands such as Budweiser, Corona, Stella Artois and Beck’s. AB InBev bought its first craft brewer in 2011, Goose Island. In January, it purchased Seattle-based Elysian Brewing Co., making it the fourth craft brewery acquisition by the world’s largest beer company in the last five years.
Other craft breweries could be next. We asked our staff which breweries they would be upset to see bought by the $1 billion/year company.
Roundtable Discussion | This Year’s Memorable Beers
December 24, 2014 | Kathleen Morton

Roundtable Discussion | Specialty Brewpubs
September 3, 2014 | Kate Stark
Recently, one of our writers shared a link to an article entitled, The Blonde and the Bubbly, about a strip club/brewpub in Medway, OH. I kept inaccurately referred to the article as “Beer and Boobs” in conversation all week. Clearly, the Dayton Daily Paper’s headline is classier. It got me thinking, however, that beer + activity = specialty brewpub, and there must be dozens of untapped ideas out there. I asked our staffers what specialty brewpubs they’d like to see.
If there are any investors out there, leave your information in the comments.

Roundtable Discussion | Mom Memories
May 7, 2014 | Kathleen Morton
Ahhhh, Mother’s Day … it’s right around the corner and most likely, you still need to get your mom a present. Speaking of which, I found a really helpful list of “19 Gifts No Mom Wants On Mother’s Day” from Buzzfeed. Hope it’s helpful! We asked the staff to talk about their moms and reflect on embarrassing/funny stories. Of course, they became drinking related real fast! Cheers to our mamas!

Roundtable: Your Personality in a Beer Bottle
