More Harry Potter and Butterbeer

1. Researching Snape a little, some links from Wikipedia:

2. A few new reviews up, including my highest rated beer so far: Negra Modelo, at 3.75.

That was a lot of HP crap to read.

Some good stuff in that Snape-evil theory. Just when I think I know too much about HP, people like that put me in my place.

Saw an interesting thing on beer the other night, one that went a ways towards explaining why American macro brews are so crappy.

1. Big backlash against Germany after WWI.
2. Prohibition whittled the number of breweries way down.
3. Grain rationing during WWII forced the brewers that remained to add rice, thus yielding a far lighter and less flavorful beer.

Interesting stuff.
