Grand Rapids Goes Organic (Grand Rapids, MI) - Looks like "Beer City" is getting an organic brewery. Grand Rapids Brewing Co. has pledged to use only organic grains and other organic ingredients to make beer for the new brewpub that's scheduled to open later this year. The brewery will apply for certification as all-organic by the U.S. Department of Agriculture before or shortly after opening.

                                                          Who are you calling a Ho? (Baltimore, MD) - Land Ho! Is the collaborative love-child of two award-winning brewers- Baltimore Maryland's Heavy Seas Beer and Lexington, Virginia's Devils Backbone. Devils Backbone, helmed by Baltimore native and brewmaster Jason Oliver, was awarded a World Beer Cup for Brewery and Brewmaster in the small brewpub category in 2010. This year, both Heavy Seas Beer and Devils Backbone won awards in the Vienna Lager category. Land Ho! is a 5.25% Black Pilsner and you can celebrate its release on May 29 at the Heavy Seas Alehouse up in Charm City.

Homebrewers to Invade Seattle (Seattle, WA) – It was only a matter of time before the American Homebrewers Association's (AHA) National Homebrewers Conference made a stop in the beer-friendly city of Seattle. The sold-out conference which takes place in late June is projected to bring 1,850 participants to the Puget Sound region. For many serious homebrewers, the National Homebrewers Conference is a must-attend event each year, thanks to its educational seminars, social events and camaraderie.
