As mentioned in the comments section of last week’s column, the biggest news story in the beer industry involved the U.S. Justice Department filing suit to stop the purchase of Grupo Modelo (makers of Corona, among other brands) by AB InBev (Budweiser, Stella Artois), the biggest of the big beer companies. It’s funny which stories have ‘legs’ where others don’t; I remember the InBev purchase of Anheuser-Busch gaining quite a bit of attention, but I never got any phone calls from reporters then — and I did this week when the big guys got told “no”.

Our Arlington Pet of the Week this week is Kona, a 6-year-old brindle American Pit Bull Terrier.
Kona resides in the Arlington Village neighborhood with owners Hilary and Ryan. Here’s what the couple had to say about their pooch.
The job description and requirements are as follows.
Never walk alone. Physical fitness with a furry twist, our part time dog walking positions are the right balance of time/energy for students, retirees, entrepreneurs and stay at home moms.

Question: I keep hearing how much the Arlington real estate market has recovered, but our house has been sitting on the market for several months and we still don’t have any offers. Any advice you can provide is appreciated.
The Super Bowl starts at 6:30 p.m. Sunday. If you want to find a pregame activity that doesn’t involve anxiously pacing back and forth, misappropriating game time snacks or watching yet another retrospective of the past NFL season, perhaps you can head out to find the home in which you’ll be watching next year’s Super Bowl.

Without a doubt the event of the week in our area was the yearly release of Bell’s HopSlam. We received our 25 cases at Arrowine on Monday and they sold out in under an hour, way faster than I had anticipated. Considering the madness surrounding its release, I thought of making this week’s column more an open forum where folks could discuss it, as it seems to be all anyone wants to talk about right now — but I thought that would be lazy even by my standards.
Our Arlington Pet of the Week this week is Charlotte, a Shiba Inu-Chihuahua mix puppy.
Rescued from a high-kill shelter in North Carolina, Charlotte now resides with owner Jeannie on Columbia Pike, in the Columbia Heights neighborhood. Jeannie wrote the following about Charlotte.
If you were able to brave Friday’s onslaught of light flurries, making it out to do some home shopping on Sunday shouldn’t be a problem. Currently, forecasters are calling for mostly sunny skies and a high of 36 degrees.
There are about 50 open houses scheduled in Arlington this weekend. See our real estate section for a full listing of open houses. Here are a few highlights:

Most of the time, it works like this: I get word of an upcoming release from a brewery; the brewery starts getting word out through the press, the beer is released, and then within a certain number of weeks/months a distributor clears it for Virginia and then I get it for stock. Some of the time, a beer from a brewery popular in Virginia is made in small enough quantities that it never makes it here. Then there’s the case of Left Hand’s Milk Stout Nitro.
