You can’t keep a good beer down.  At least, that’s what Lithia beer is saying. Ever since Lithia Beer was first brewed in West Bend, it shared a rich heritage with the city, Washington County and Wisconsin. West Bend Brewing Co. was established in 1848, the same year that Wisconsin became a state. When the doors closed in 1968, after a 120 year brewing tradition, the local beer was lost, but not forgotten.

A week in Philly for Philly Beer week simply isn’t enough.

On August 27th the first ever Beer-Con will be unleashed on San Diego!  This is a conference by and for beer lovers!  Beer Goddess readers are among the first to know.

“She had to leave Los Angeles...” As I pulled back the maroon drapes to a tiny bar that we passed nearly three times, these were the words being sung.

Back in 2009, we entered the dusky, hipster, Brooklyn-ish type, unassuming bar on Sunset Blvd in Echo Park, after arriving too late to a beer festival. The majority of the folks there seemed just …cool.  The ‘I’m not trying’ kind of cool.  You know, Vincent Galo cool.
