Hooray for the Ithaca Beer Company!

This week, instead of doing its typical "wines of the times" column, the New York Times covered "ales of the times"--more specifically, brown ales.

And our little Ithaca Beer Company made the cut with its Nut Brown Ale! Receiving three out of a possible four stars (meaning: excellent), the Nut Brown Ale was among the top ten beers tasted by the panel, and it was included in the multimedia feature!

As some of you may know, Judson and I have long recommended the Nut Brown Ale to those seeking a delightful, thirst-quenching local beer. It's one of my favorites. So today, I am even prouder to be an Ithacan.

In other news, a Clemson Tiger spoke at our MAE colloquium yesterday! Best colloquium I've seen in a long time. =)
