There are days when since the night before I know exactly what I’ll write on Beer Chronicles. There are other days when instead I have not the slightest idea about it and I found myself combing through archives and websites to find some interesting information. I presume I’m always dealing with challenging issues basing on the reviews I get on the blog and sometimes I simply prefer to remain silent rather than get nowhere. I think that this is a compulsory rule to ensure a good quality product. Too bad that apparently not everyone think the same way. I am referring to the article published yesterday on the Roman version of Repubblica.it, where Laura Mari has offered a formidable example of tabloid journalism and misinformation.

'09Garrett Oliver in Rome: a special evening
Garrett Oliver introduces his Local 1
As announced some days ago, last night Garrett Oliver, brewmaster of Brooklyn Brewery, was the guest of bir & fud of Rome, where he charmed the partecipants with its vast experience and his ability to communicate. His attendance, as well as that of other Italian brewers, turned the night in one of those special events that remain in the heart of every fan. So last night was unique, even magical, thanks to the many beers tasted, the wonderful food matchings and mainly the many guests.
