Do you know if Guinness Red is available in the USA yet, or if it ever will be? Thanks!
- Harmony Cleary
To my knowledge, Guinness Red is still available exclusively in the U.K. There may well be plans to launch it stateside at some point, but Diageo isn't saying anything about them at present.
Hello,
I am a big fan of this cookbook (my Brewpub Cookbook - ed.). My husband is from Halifax, Nova Scotia (the Granite Brewery is his favorite pub), and whenever we go home to visit - we live in the States - we go searching for this book with no luck. I am getting ready to Xerox all of the recipes out of my neighbor's well-weathered copy IF you tell me I can't buy my own copy. Please advise.
Sincerely,
Mary Boshkoff
I have good news for you, Mary. The Brewpub Cookbook remains available from its U.S. publisher and can be ordered through the store at beertown.org.
(The exchange below is typical of many I receive monthly from readers searching for specific beers, beer bottles or general breweriana. In the latter two cases, I always refer people to breweriana.com, an excellent beer memorabilia site, and usually that's enough to resolve their quest. Where beers are concerned, it often turns out to be the case that the one in question is simply not yet available in that particular area, but I do what I can to find out one way or the other. My back-up suggestion, however, is inevitably to make friends with the best beer retailer in your district and see what they can do for you.)
Hi!
I'm looking for a Schantz Breweries (Dayton, Ohio) beer bottle. Could you help me..?
Thanks!

Sorry, Basse, but I've never heard of that brewery. Try breweriana.com.
Ok, thanks! I actually just remembered that the brewery is called The Riverside Brewery, in Dayton, Ohio, and the beer was called Adam Schantz beer.
