Three Floyds and Revolution Brewing of Chicago are collaborating on a Russian Imperial Stout and a "small stout" from the second runnings at about 1040 OG – down from the RIS's 1112. They will be named Sodom and Gomorrah and will be on tap at both brewpubs in late August.
Congratulations to Chip Lewis of Elkhart for winning both First and Second at the The Acorn Theater's first homebrew contest. His Scotch Ale was first and Mexican Lager was second. Chris Johnson of Granger was Third with an American IPA, giving Indiana a hat trick in this Three Oaks, Michigan, competition. Looks like they may hold this contest twice a year. article
The Prime Minister and US President swapped beers at the G20 Summit in Toronto, Canada. Cameron was given a bottle of Chicago's Goose Island 312. The exchange followed a bet made between the two leaders about the outcome of England versus USA in the World Cup — it was a draw so both paid up.
Obama said he had drunk the Hobgoblin ale, brewed by Marston's owned Wychwood, cold. "We have just concluded some excellent discussions, including whether the beers from our hometowns that we exchanged are best served warm or cold," he said.
Cameron said he drank the Goose Island 312 while watching the World Cup. "I enjoyed it so much that when I watched Germany beat Argentina, I actually cheered for Germany," Cameron said. "That's something that's a big admission for a British person to make, so the beer is obviously very effective."
