The Session #39 Roundup
It was a wild week for me, so I apologize for the delay in rounding up The Session posts. Basically, between hosting The Session, planning a campsite at Boonville Beer Festival, and finding out that my wife and I will be having another baby, it’s been a busy weekend. This month, the topic was collaborations, so let’s see what everyone got together to do.
- Beer Made Clear went at it from a homebrew perspective as well as opened a bottle of Collaboration not Litigation. Personally, I wonder what kind of Columbian brown sugar he’s putting in the brew.
- Impy Malting decided to focus on the Echo Park Private Brewery. I loved the article and wonder if Echo Park and Elizabeth Street would consider a collaborative event in the future. Again, though, there was a reference to products coming from the South American mountains.
- The Beer Nut writes about the big boys collaborating for one of my favorite beers. Actually, he tried the one I haven’t tried, and I’m jealous.
- Steph and PJ from the Hop Press actually collaborated on a brew (well, two actually). Steph also reviewed a collaboration beer that represented the writer’s collaboration.
- The Ferm…ummm…yeah. I liked it.
- Top Fermented sees hope for the future in the craft brewing world.
- Derrick (aka the Beer Runner) homebrewed with an old friend then drank a beer with said friend.
- Peter at the BetterBeerBlog (a regular collaborator of mine) chose a new partner to review a beer with for this post: his wife.
- Lug Wrench Brewing tackled a homebrew recipe as well.
- Stan at Appellation Beer brought a little journalism to the blogging Friday with an excellent story about a collaborative brew.
- Beer Search Party went down the list and took my Session post apart with the efficiency of a professional.
- A Beer in Hand revisited an old beer review for this months topic.
- The Pour Curator tackles the subject of art and beer.
- Tomme Arthur of Lost Abbey gave us a professional perspective on collaborating.
- Jon from The Brew Site (and also a Hop Press contributor) went into the archives and talked about some upcoming Oregon collaboration news.
- Jay Brooks at Brookston Beer Bulletin also went to the archives and added a graphic representing some collaborations. Most importantly, Jay collaborated on my Saturday morning breakfast in Boonville with some fruit salad.
- Daniel at Zymurgical Explorations is that guy. He also brings up a point I’ve thrown out there many times.
- BeerTaster went political due to a lack of locally available collaborations.
Thanks to everyone who contributed. I find it funny that no one reviewed the Orval and Boulevard Imperial Pils as we cracked a couple bottles of this brew at Boonville. It seems almost fitting that a collaborative beer drank on the day of The Session should be reviewed as part of the Session.
…almost fitting…
Happy Session folks!

Mario, is it okay that my post be added to the list. I shoved it into the comments on one of the posts and I also sent you a tweet. My post cost me about $75 of beer that I didn’t drink because I got sick but I did manage to drink one beer (before getting sick) and I had a few other thoughts on the subject.
Thanks!

Sorry I missed it. Hope you’re feeling better
Mine got posted as well.
I’m better but not better enough to start reviewing beers again.
It’s a good thing that I have a backlog of beer reviews to post.
I’m wondering why I seem to have missed these two posts. Here’s Thomas’ contribution to the Session

Mario, can you edit the post and add the missing links? Comment links have rel=”nofollow” and as bloggers I’m sure we all understand the importance of in-links for page rank. Cheer!
I’m dumb and forgot to post my link. Here it is anyways. Thanks for the fun topic. Cheers!
