We had to wing it this week...Unfortunately, our guest had a last minute emergency this week and we'll have to reschedule Larry for another time.  It's cool, we've got this.  We can always talk about beer.Canned Fish and Beer Pairing?One of our latest obsessions is tinned seafood.  Sounds like we're kind of late to the party here but at least we made it to the party.  I've always enjoyed a nice kipper or some tuna salad but there's a whole world out there I had no idea about.  Fish lovers have their own forums, inside jokes, and memes just like beer nerds.  Weirdos.  We offer up some pairing suggestions for those that want to explore this salty world with us.  Grab yourself some deens (that's what the cool kids call sardines) and grab a brew.  If you've got any favorites please let us know.Tilray Buys a Bunch of BreweriesThe big news in beer this week is Tilray's purchase of 8 brands from Anheuser Busch.  There's plenty of debate on whether this is a smart or dumb move for Tilray.  It seems they got a great price on the package, less than AB paid for just one of the breweries when they acquired them.The purchase of Sweetwater started Tilray (Aphria at the time) down the beer path and they acquired a few others since then.  Here in Atlanta we've enjoyed Alpine and Green Flash brews on tap at the Sweetwater taproom.  Maybe we'll see a cornucopia of these legacy brands there in the future.German beer sales down, Guinness has a record yearSounds like our German friends are easing up their drinking as sales are reported to be down 2.9% compared to last year.  The country saw a bit of a boost once Covid restrictions lifted but that has gone away.  In contrast to that, Guinness had it's best year ever with sales up 9% across all regions.  Truly a lovely day for a pint.The Beer ListDeschutes / Bitburger - Dry Hop’d ZwicklMeier’s Creek - Dark LoggerDecadent Ales - AC/DC PWR⚡UP Juicy IPA (6.66%)Bluejacket - They Both Melt (Dunkel)El Segundo - Greetings from El Segundo Anniversary Ale (TIPA)Three Taverns Beeps - LagerSourceshttps://www.forbes.com/sites/hudsonlindenberger/2023/08/08/tilray-brands-deal-with-anheuser-busch-inbev-sets-them-firmly-on-the-national-stage/?sh=6d317f4424a8Thanks for listening to Beer Guys Radio!
