That is very sad news. My prayers and condolences to his family and everyone who was close to him. Keith was quite a character. The pic you attached illustrates what a vibrant individual he was.

Well, bacon make most things taste good, but beer........could be the exception. Sounds like a fun ploy too. I used to have potential mother in law who fried peeled and boiled potatoes in bacon fat. It was so good, but it was a heart attack waiting…

Brooklyn Brewery's Latest : Bacon-fat Infused Bourbon Barrel Barleywine
Jeez, Garret Oliver has blasted "extreme beer" for years and is putting this concoction together. My favorite line; “Either this will be the most amazingly disgusting thing you’ve ever tasted in your life. Or I shall rule the earth."

I vote for letting folks drink what ever they want. It would have been cool if at one of them chose a real American craft beer, but whaddyagonnnado? To each his own. My favorite quote from the day was from Professor Gates, "When he's not arresting…

Lambics - from the WSJ

Nice article, even has a video of the Cantillon brewery. The only thing they don't mention in the article is the use of aged (usually at least 3 years old) hops for their preservative properties. The aging removes any of the hop character.
