Lagunitas x Beerwulf - Petaluma Fuzz Brut Rose IPA

The newest addition to the Lagunitas ‘Fusion’ series is Petaluma Fuzz – a Brut Rose IPA available online exclusively from Beerwulf.com. This is what happens when Lagunitas invite a group of French guests to Petaluma California to brew a beer. Aptly named as their memories of the trip were a little fuzzy…

Combining West Coast with French influence, Petaluma Fuzz is brewed with Petite Syrah grape juice then dry-hopped with Cashmere, Azacca, Citra, Chinook, Sabro and the experimental HBC 344 hops for a bitter and super dry bite. READ MORE

Camden Town Brewery Announce Pub for Hedgehogs

Beer News No Reply

Camden Town Brewery have unveiled the world’s first pub for hedgehogs! Well, sort of. They’ve partnered up with the British Hedgehog Preservation Society to help hedgehogs hibernate during these cold winter months.

The change in their environment has seen animals such as hedgehogs arrive much later in the year, meaning they’re not able to eat enough to sleep through the cold winter months, and in urban areas, loss of habitat, dangerous roads and pesticide have all limited hedgehogs’ ability to find a safe space to hibernate.

BrewDog’s new Identity – Punk goes Mainstream?

Beer Thoughts No Reply

Let’s talk about the BrewDog rebrand. When I first saw it, I thought it was fake news. The BrewDog brand has been so strongly ingrained – in my beer bubble, at least – that this just didn’t look right.

It’s hard to argue that it isn’t dialled back, more measured. The colours are less brash, the design more simplistic and generally speaking, it’s less in-your-face. Dare I say, it all feels a bit too sensible – a bit too safe for the beer brand synonymous with market disruption, stunts and their unique sense of beer anarchy. Their flagship beer is Punk IPA – and the new brand definitely ain’t punk.

Can you get coronavirus from Corona Beer?

Beer OMG No Reply

Corona Beer - Google Trends show increase in searches for Beer Virus

Let’s start by answering the question – NO, you cannot get coronavirus from drinking Corona Extra. Or Corona Light. Or indeed any other beer.

Coronavirus is a respiratory illness. It has quite literally nothing to do with Corona beer, other than the fact they share similar names.

“Corona” is the latin word for ‘crown’. It’s also Spanish for ‘crown’ and Corona is a mexican beer. The coronavirus is somewhat crown shaped if you look at it under a microscope. You might’ve also noticed that there’s a crown on your Corona beer bottle, too. So the only thing the virus and the beer really have in common is etymology.
