This week we head back to our studio away from our studio, Stone World Bistro & Garden where we meet up with Laurie Delk, from 100 Beers 30 Days, for her final beer for the 100 beers 30 days challenge. We talk about why she is doing the challenge, and the various charities that benefit from her beerscapades, such as Parkinson’s Research and Feeding the Hungry.
Check out her blog at 100beers30days.wordpress.com and be sure to donate to the great causes that she is supporting.
For our master pairings with Dr. Bill, we pair up a traditional American brown ale with baby back ribs and cave aged Gouda and our Craft Beer Advocate this week is Dan from Seattle who found craft beer in Japan, and has a great story about it…

Hey guys! I really enjoy the show! I hope to start my own soon. My advocacy story starts in Japan. After a long time drinking Suntory, Asahi, Sapporo and, Kirin, I was hoping more was out there in terms of flavor and community. I googled bars in Japan and found a link on ratebeer to a bar called “doll dress” in Osaka Japan. Doll dress is a belgian bar/S&M clothing store. Why? I have no idea but I quickly became aquainted with the local and famous beers of belgium. The bar owners introduced me to a vast and growing community of craft beers (called “gee beer”) in Japan that are absurdly niche yet amazing right now. Before I left Japan, I stopped at a bar in Tokyo called “Dry Dock” that actually imported Stone beers. Having never had or heard of Stone, I asked the bartender which was his favorite. He gave me the Ruination IPA. I’ve never been the same. I advocate craft beer every day now. Craft Beer is about to explode everywhere, not just the USA!

Chrome Overtakes Safari
Nintendo 3DS comes in March 2011, not this Christmas. Father of digital images want to make them better. How much better can they be? Social media up but by how much? Seems like a low number. Antenna patch coming from Apple. Weird. I thought there was no problem. Google trying another social media initiative. What about Orkut II. Bag of parts in the iPhone4 is $188.
Palm to Arise from the Dead
People waiting in bread line to get an iPhone 4. The phone has apparent strange connection problems. Is the white one resolved? Apple iOS4 getting too much ink. Twitter gives in to the FTC over breaches. RIM making more money, may do buy back. Android 2.2 coming fast to Droids. Zune needs re-introduction. Developers looking at Android. Google deletes apps on your phone? HP going to take on the iPhone. I laugh at that.

Geeks on Beer : A Trip to the Cellar

This week we join Dr. Bill is his “Cellar of Amazingness”, which has become it’s formal name, and we try two very tasty brews.
The first, in honor of The Bruery’s second anniversary, is a the Rye Papier, one of the four versions put out as a celebration of the first year, signified by a silver wax color. The third anniversary year beer is leather … which doesn’t seem appetizing, but we know Patrick will create something magical yet again, and will likely name it “Cuir”, which sounds better then leather. 
We also want to say congratulations to The Bruery for 2 EPIC years, and a huge thanks for making awesome beer, and throwing an awesome 2nd anniversary party!
Dr. Bill pairs this with a Tiramisu, and a Blue Stilton cheese.
After that, we unleash the Dark Lord. However, since this is Dr. Bill’s cellar we don’t open a 2010 Dark Lord. The guys at 3 Floyds have traditionally chosen a different color wax for each year of Dark Lord. The Orange wax tells the drinker that they are about to travel back to the year 2005… which is where we land and enjoy this tasty beverage.
Thanks to DR000 for this great shot of various year Dark Lord and Behemoth bottles.
Dr. Bill pairs this with what’s left of the Tiramisu, and a Rochefort cheese.
It was an evening of decadence.
We weren’t able to include a Craft Beer Advocate this week due to time constraints, but we have a growing collection of amazing stories to share, and still want you to go and check out the Beer Wars movie. This amazing documentary will help you understand the struggle that craft beer brewers go through, and help you understand why now is the time to join the revolution!

SD Worm Card Lasts 100 Years
White iPhone having manufacturing issues? I’ll tell you exactly what the real problem is. Apple iOS4 already hacked. Looks like Droid X is the big winner for Motorola. And Droid gets flash! Google being investigated in the UK for WiFi violations. Meanwhile, Android maps upgraded to give you transit info. Bing pushing entertainment. Still no match for Google. SF traffic messed up by Russian President. Firefox crashes. Who knew? New SanDisk WORM SD card may be a hot ticket.

Dell going private is still in the news. CNET calls out Microsoft. IBM getting into mortgage processing. Why? Best Buy coming out with media display. Google voice now open to the whole world. What a deal! Nintendo opens to idea of 3D console. Apple sells 3 million in 80 days. Apple shipping iPhone 4 early. Electronic license plate ads coming. Old ladies drive better than you.

June Swoon
Too many boring stories about Apple iOS4. E-readers drop below $200. Summer at Stonehenge. Xbox Kinect looks to be a winner, for the short term. Xbox has become a cult machine. IPhone 4 orders cancelled. Toshiba back on the Libretto track. Google music search? Dell going Chrome. Motorola Droid phone going gangbusters. The Space Shuttle should stay flyimg says astronaut. New Xbox cools itself better. Stop the presses. Verizon FiOS month-by-month.
