"A great many stories have grown up around the origins of Smoked Beer. Some are quite imaginative, others are a bit strange. In an oft told legend, when a brewery in Bamberg burned in the Middle Ages, the malt was smoked accidentally. As unexpectedly, Bamberg’s citizens enjoyed the flavor of the resulting brew, thereafter, the technique was applied on purpose. While a funny anecdote, it’s far from the truth..."

Dan Lamonaca is pursuing his passion for beer in a familiar place. He opened Beer Karma, his impressive new bar and beer store, in the same storefront at the corner of Union Avenue and Conselyea Street in Williamsburg where his grandfather ran a gift shop in the 1970s and ’80s. The space had also housed his great-grandfather’s pharmacy decades earlier.
This isn’t a hoppy—err, happy coincidence: His paternal family has owned the storefront’s building for nearly 70 years. It’s currently owned by his grandmother who still lives upstairs...

"A hot grill and a cold beer: That simple summer duo is so great, yet
so woefully lopsided. The grill has become an ark of diversity—burgers and dogs, sure, but also fish, tofu, fruit, even pizza—but the cooler remains stocked with, well, whatever's cold. It's time to build a better grill-side lineup..."

"After six months of planning, the Aecht Schlekerla team arrived in the States from Bamberg, Germany as part of a week-long whirlwind tour that took them to New York City, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C.
"ÔªøMatthias Trum, owner/chief brewing architect, and Wolfgang Thiel, executive chef, began their week of introducing Americans to an authentic meal of Franconian food and beer in New York City with visits to The Ginger Man and Jimmy's No. 43.
"They continued in Washington, D.C. at Birch and Barley before coming to Philadelphia's authentic German restaurant, Brauhaus Schmitz. After this dinner, they stopped at the Lehigh Valley's Tap and Table for a dinner before returning to NYC for a social afternoon meetup at Brooklyn's Beer Table..."

"We searched far and wide to put together this definitive guide to the world’s tastiest beers. Plus: The Best Bar in the World. Thanks to an influx of small-batch importers (and some big-footprint retailers such as Whole Foods), it’s easier than ever to drink obscure brews from around the globe. At the same time, the American craft scene keeps getting better as ambitious brewmasters pioneer new methods and styles. So for our seventh annual beer survey, we started by asking craft-brew luminaries a simple question: What’s the best beer in the world? Then we tried them all. The result? A been-there, drank-that guide to the greatest brew on the planet — plus 24 runners-up, in no particular order. Enjoy."

"Bavaria's Schlenkerla -- brewed in Bamberg -- is the granddaddy of the smoked beers, a rare but esteemed style that uses malt dried over an open flame (it's called rauchbier in German). The result is a dominating smoky flavor: think liquid ham. Any variety of beer can be "smoked," and Schlenkerla produces a Märzen, an Urbock, and a Wheat (it also makes an un-smoked Helles)."
