(Boston, MA) – To continue the successful momentum of its small business microlending and business mentoring efforts, The Boston Beer Company announces the expansion of its Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream program. Key objectives in 2013 include providing an additional $1 million in microloans to approximately 100 new small businesses owners, inviting Samuel Adams drinkers to participate in the program, and increasing Brewing the American Dream’s coaching and mentoring activities for small businesses throughout the country.

News, Breaking News:

(and on my birthday too! @#$$#@!!)

 Japanese brewery created a beer using ingredients from elephant dung and it sold out within minutes of going on sale in the country.

The beer, which is called Un, Kono Kuro, is made using coffee beans that have passed through an elephant.

The Sankt Gallen Brewery called the beer a ‘chocolate stout’, despite it not containing any chocolate. The coffee beans used in the beer come from elephants at Thailand’s Golden Triangle Elephant Foundation, which cost over US$100 per 35 grams. The beans are so expensive as 33kgs of beans in the mouth yields 1kg of useable coffee beans.

The beans are definitely a candidate for one of the top 10 weirdest beer ingredients.

What is the next big thing in the beer industry? Our Rex Moore asked that question at the recent 2013 Craft Brewers Conference in Washington, D.C., and found a wide range of answers. In the last of this series, we hear from New Belgium Brewing’s Kim Jordan, and Bill Butcher of Port City Brewing.
