Here we go: BrewDog goes for publicity again, Odell Brewing concerned with first batch of Bourbon Barrel Stout, (512) Brewing expands and Beer Advocate gives Allagash BBF beer details…

…From BrewDog‘s blog, “We have instigated the world’s smallest protest in an attempt to tear-up UK licensing laws that say beer can only be served in third, half or full pint measures. A dwarf is holding a weeklong protest at Westminster, arguing that two thirds of a pint measures should be introduced in British bars and pubs. Despite being recommended by The National Weights and Measures Laboratory (NWML) in 2008, plans to introduce the new measure have been on hold since the general election and BrewDog intends to reignite the debate.”

…From Odell Brewing‘s blog, “It has come to our attention that some bottles of Bourbon Barrel Stout from the first batch of the 2010 release have the potential to sour slightly […] Not all of the bottles are affected, and warm storage seems to have an accelerated affect. We are very proud of the Bourbon Barrel Stout brand and so felt it necessary to communicate this potential sour flavor. We are replacing some of the more unpredictable first batch with the filtered and more stable second batch. Moving forward, we have ensured that the beer meets our highest quality standards by stabilizing future releases through filtration and barrel selection. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the brewery at cheers ~AT~ odellbrewing.com.”

…From (512) Brewing‘s blog, “We’re the proud new owners of yet two more 60BBL fermentation tanks at (512) Brewing! More beer to come!! This expansion represents a 40% increase in production capacity and brings are total annual production volume to well over 4000BBL per year! In addition to allowing us the ability to keep up with continued demand for (512) beers, these tanks will likely enable Nate to brew some of the many new creations we have in the works.”

…Beer Advocate’s Todd Alstrom reports on the two collaborative Allagash Brewing beers that will appear exclusively at November’s Belgian Beer Fest weekend. The beers are known as Big Little Beer and Little Big Beer.
