Here’s an interesting word I’ve been seeing around the internet: Cenosillicaphobia. According to some sources, the Fact-Archive and the Urban Dictionary, the word means “the fear of an empty glass,” as “commonly experienced by drinkers.” Although I can’t find it listed in any of my regular dictionaries, it seems to fit at least. It’s not in either of my two unabridged ones, including the Webster’s International 2nd edition, which my librarian sister-in-laws tells me is the gold standard. The closest word in my O.E.D. is “cenotaph,” which means “empty tomb.” So along with “sillica” for glass, the word “cenosillicaphobia” seems to fit the meaning, the “fear of an empty glass.” So look at the photo below. If seeing the beer glass empty causes you to shudder involuntarily, you probably have cenosillicaphobia. Luckily, a cure is as close as the nearest keg, can or bottle.

Taste some great beers from the portfolio of the Vanberg & DeWulf, the Belgian beer specialists...

Hi. I’m Ben, one of the co-founders of West Sixth, the company sued this week by Magic Hat. I’ve been keeping an eye on some of the other posts, and noticed that there’s been some misinformation going around. I thought you all might like to ask some questions. If so, I’m happy to answer anything I can, although there are a few areas I can’t likely go into. AMA >> Reddit.

On Tuesday night, Cerveceria Costa Rica (owners of Magic Hat IP) posted 4 conditions to outline a way to settle our differences. On Wednesday morning, we accepted all 4 conditions and showed them 4 different new options for our logo. All they had to do was select one of them.But it’s been more than 24 hours, and we still haven’t had a response to our offer. More >> West Sixth blog.

Here is the latest newsletter update from importers, Vanberg and DeWulf. — Gandavum Dry Blond Belgian Ale 7.5% ABV It’s only fitting that with Ghent as our adopted Belgian hometown, we have a beer of that city in our portfolio. The town’s most well situated bar alongside the canal and celebrated publican is Pol of Waterhuis aan de Bierkant Café. The bar’s custom brewed dry hopped beer is called Gandavum (the Roman name for Ghent). Pol is equally famous for his genever pub, the Dreupelkot, so it is no surprise that Gandavum is an extraordinarily dry and herbal blond beer. Gandavum is unfiltered, made with all pilsner and Munich malt, hopped with Tomahawk and Willamette, and dry- hopped. 91 on Ratebeer. Be the first to taste this delicious special dry hopped beer from our favorite bar in our favorite town in our favorite beer country.
