Happy new Year 2010 to all the brew masters, brewers, brew enthusiasts and beer drinkers all over the world. May your throughts never run dry.

For an easier ocomparison of the different European beer types I have created an overview. The beer type list shows the beer types of only so far added beers. Though it is not complete. The most difficult thing was to differ between the UK Ale and the German Wheat Beer as I think a Wheat Beer is not an ale as an ale is top fermented beer. Anyway, I hope the list helpes to distinguish between the different types. Comments are welcome.

You know about a great brewing congress or fair? Than it's up to you to show it on Lautering.net! We want to you post them on the forum. Once they are validated we bring them up at the Brewing Event Calendar. Most important validation criteria is: The event should not be a drinking party only, like the Oktoberfest.

Lautering.net - the brewing network offers the possibility to advertise jobs. Within our board (forum) every registered user can publish a job offer. As job offers are more serious than craft talk, which is serious as well, we check them back to make sure that everything works out for both. There is a link list of permanent brewing job sites available. Get an account and start publishing. Job seekers are welcome as well!
