Hey Siel,
Thanks for sharing this great news about the fair trade coffee stout, and from none other than Just Coffee and New Glarus - two great brewers, one of beans and one of beer!
By the way, did you get the review copy of my book that I sent you? I actually challenge brewers in it to make fair trade coffee beers. Would love to hear your thoughts if you get a chance to check out the book.
Oh and another by the way, I finally started blogging. The Beer Activist blog is temporarily located here: beeractivist.wordpress.com but will move to regular old beeractivist.com soon. I haven’t really publicly announced the blog yet. Kind of getting a feel for it first and then planning to unleash the power of beer-fueled activism. Cheers!

I actually haven’t gotten the book yet. Hmmm… Wondering if it’s just delayed in the holiday mail — When did you send it?
Congrats on the new blog :) Will look forward to your review of the fair trade coffee stout!

Bummer. It should have been sent a couple months ago by my publisher. Perhaps they missed it or it got lost. I’ll let them know to send another.
‘Hoppy’ new year!
Chris
