  • Top 50 US Craft Brewers by Sales (MAP) | Sloshspot Blog – You may have seen the map we created earlier this year using the data from 2007 sales, and we now present the updated version with figures for 2008 sales. Once again, to be very clear, the rankings are determined by sales of those breweries that fit the criteria: small, independent and traditional (see the Brewers Association definition of Craft Brewers here). This is not a list of the best beers, so you won't see your local monastery that receives 101 bottles from Heaven each year. We also included some interesting information regarding recent brewery openings and closings.

  • Colleges Cut Costs – TIME – A funky roommate named recession is settling in on campuses this fall as colleges and universities slash budgets for virtually everything from salad bars to ski teams. U.S. colleges and universities suffered, on average, a 23% endowment drop in the second half of last year, according to a study by a group of campus business officers. That reduction in funding has set off a scramble to freeze hiring, cut hours and hunker down until the economy improves.
