Nemo. Although we told him that he could go find himself, he managed to shut down the city of Boston and consequently our Extreme Beer Fest (EBF), originally scheduled for February 8 and 9. However, thanks to beer being rather resilient and a lot of great people who showed their support, we were quickly able to reschedule for March 15 and 16 at the BCA Cyclorama.
That's right. EBF is taking over Saint Patrick's Day weekend! We might be releasing extra tickets for the new dates, so keep your eyes peeled on beeradvocate.com/ebf. It's going to be quite the weekend for boundary-pushing beer. Boston may never be the same.
Wait. It gets better: EBF now anchors Boston Beer Week, which will have local bars, restaurants, and stores celebrating beer from March 8 to March 17. To find more info or add an event, visit bostonbeerweek.org.

Malt liquor is alternately derided as preying on our nation's poor, as a cheap way for frat boys to get drunk, and as just terrible beer.

Talk of international beer typically conjures up images of German beer gardens, Belgian monasteries, and pints of Guinness. But where is the rest of the world in this Eurocentric fantasy?
