Beer of the Week- Goose Green Line Pale Ale by Goose Island Brewery

Image
Looks and pours a very nice copper/orange color, great clarity, with a one finger soft white head. Smell is faint, slight citrus scent, not much hop aroma. Taste is sweet malt up front, almost no hop presence at first. A few sips later the sweetness fades and the hops start to show through. Minimal hop bite (this might be due to the fact that I have been drinking many hop HEAVY beers for the last few weeks), nothing compared to an IPA or even the top APA's.  Mouthfeel initially is chewy with that sweet malt up front, but as you drink it the beer becomes thinner and thinner. Minimal carbonation on tongue. Drink-ability  is very high, could drink this all night. Not filling at all and with the 5% abv, it is very easy to knock these back. Overall a great Chicago based brewery and beer. You can find this beer at various Boston sports venues like TD Garden and Fenway.

Diversity in the World of Craft Beer (video in description)

Image
The craft beer community has become extremely popular and seems to grow every year. In the U.S. craft beer market, a $101.7 billion industry, not only has the number of breweries grown in recent years but so has the consumer demographic. Previously dominated by the white consumer, the industry has seen increasing strides including the acquisition of a more racially diverse crowd. One man who has seen this trend and perhaps explains it better than anyone else is Kevin Blodger, Co-owner of Baltimore's Union Craft Brewing and member of the Brewers Association diversity committee. He explains how the African American and other minority communities, though not intentionally, have been excluded from marketing efforts and thus never really were able to become a key demographic. He sees the reason is because of the lack of adversting budgets and how the industry is more word-of-mouth, thus if originally more caucasians consumed craft beer it is more likely that through word-of-mouth more c...
