		<title>Cloning Westmalle? I&#8217;d start with the yeast</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a little trouble getting my bearings when it comes to clone recipes, so maybe I should just keep my mouth shut. These things, after all, are facts:
- People buy &#8220;Brew Like a Monk&#8221; or &#8220;Brewing with Wheat&#8221; because they want to make a beer just like Chimay White or Schneider Aventinus, and I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ommegang Zuur and Goose Island Matilda</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Brewery Ommegang sour beer mentioned in the previous post now has a name: Ommegang Zuur. Larry Bennett, the minister of propaganda, provides some details abut the beer brewed in collaboration with Liefmans in Belgium:
&#8220;It’s a blended Flemish Sour brown. It’s a blend of two Liefmans beers: Oud Bruin, which is open fermented and then [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ommegang promises new stuff every two months</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Brewery Ommegang&#8217;s plan for 2010 includes six new releases as well as creations that will be available only at the brewery outside Cooperstown, New York.
A press release calls this the 2010 Innovation Program and backs up the rather bold name. Six beers will be released, one every two months. They&#8217;ll be in 750ml bottles and [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Belgian sugar primer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the past couple of weeks I&#8217;ve read several references that would indicate Belgian brewers the use &#8220;candi sugar,&#8221; the most recent being in The Naked Pint: An Unadulterated Guide to Craft Beer. No they don&#8217;t, not if you are talking about those rocklike hunks sold as &#8220;candy&#8221; or &#8220;candi&#8221; sugar in the United States.
I&#8217;d [...]]]></description>

		<title>No, no barrels for Three Philosophers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The current issue of Imbibe magazine has a list of what it calls the best 99 (really 100 and really several lists) bottled beers in the world.
Good beers, but of course we know any list of &#8220;bests&#8221; is still just a list. I&#8217;ve rattled on about that enough.
But in case you like I noticed Ommegang&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Book review: &#8216;Around Brussels in 80 Beers&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m pretty sure that as much as Tim Webb loves Belgian beer he will agree that eventually he will have published all the books on the topic that are necessary.
The latest is &#8220;Around Brussels in 80 Beers&#8221; and ostensibly this is a review of that book. Good book. More in a moment.
Webb has been writing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Monks&#8217; Ale update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Monastery of Christ in the Desert in northern New Mexico wants to start a small brewery so it can take over the Monks&#8217; Ale label now held by a Pecos monastery. 
The Santa Fe New Mexican has the slightly confusing story. Here are the key elements:
- Originally Christ of the Desert and the Pecos [...]]]></description>

The code where were are staying tonight is &#8220;1214.&#8221;

		<title>Saint Somewhere on Good Morning America</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why is Bob Sylvester smiling?
First, you might ask, who is Bob Sylvester? He&#8217;s the founder, brewer, etc. at Saint Somewhere Brewing Co. The &#8220;where&#8221; in this brewery is Tarpon Springs, Florida. It&#8217;s tiny, last year selling about 140 barrels of beer (somewhat more than 4,000 gallons).
But there his beer was on &#8220;Good Morning America&#8221; Friday [...]]]></description>
