The bad news: after three weeks of banging my head against their dysfunctional development tools, I've given up on writing a BlackBerry version of my Beer Me! mobile smartphone app

The good news: work on the Android version is progressing nicely. I should be ready to ask for field-testers by the end of this month.

I might revisit the BlackBerry problem once the Android version is deployed. Maybe.

iPhone? Who knows.

The Palm version has sold 78 copies already, and the free trial version has been downloaded almost 250 times! That's kinda fun.

(Details at http://www.nebraskabrewingco.com/news.asp?id=154.)

These evenings are always incredibly special.

This time around, we've teamed up with Soaring Wings Vineyard to create an evening of 5 courses not only paired with Craft Beer but locally made wines as well.

Sunday, February 28th is the date and if we can sell enough tickets, we'll likely close the restaurant to general dining during our event. The bar will remain open. 6 PM is the time.

We will be limiting to 50 guests for this Wine & Beer event and tickets are being sold for $65 per person, exclusive of tax and gratuity.

These evenings are educational and offer our guests the opportunity to enjoy the company of others, understand the intricacies and relationships of both Beer & Wine with the foods that we've so carefully thought out, and to delve deeply into an appreciation for what can be produced locally - right here in Nebraska.

Chef Adam Graybill has prepared a wonderful evening - we're happy to share with you our menu for this event...

First Course. Seafood Ravioli. Smoked Salmon, Shrimp, Dill, Heavy Cream Stuffing wrapped in a Saffron Ravioli and bathed in a Vegetable Alfredo Sauce.

Beer Pairing - Infinite Wit
Wine Pairing - 2007 Winter White

Second Course. Roasted Red Pepper Soup. A spicy little soup that sounds so simple yet tastes so awesome!

Beer Pairing - Fathead Barley Wine
Wine Pairing - 2008 Dragon's Red

Third Course. Arugula & Goat Cheese Salad. Dried Cranberries, Pecan Praline, Grated Goat Cheese in a Champagne / Dijon Mustard Vinaigrette.

Beer Pairing - Hop God Belgian IPA
Wine Pairing - 2008 Traminette

Fourth Course. Beef Short Ribs. Dutch Oven - Roasted with a Chardonnay Blonde base, Pomegranate Juice and Veal Stock in a Portobello Mushroom Risotto. Topped with a reduction of its own sauces.

Beer Pairing - EOS Hefeweizeen
Wine Pairing - 2008 Falco Red

Fifth Course. Cheesecake. Cappuccino Cheesecake on top of a Chocolate Shortbread Cookie Crust. Drizzled with the Belgian Candy Sugar used to create our Beer de Noel & whipped cream.

Beer Pairing - Black Betty Whisky Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout
Wine Pairing - 2008 Vignoles

As an FYI - this collaboration is working out wonderfully but as the event is being held at Nebraska Brewing Company, you must call the brewpub for tickets.

The free trial version of "Beer Me! mobile 1.0.2" will be available starting around 9:30pm CST January 22, 2010. You can download and install it from this link:

http://developer.palm.com/appredirect/?packageid=com.beerme.beermefree

The trial expires 30 days after the first time it's run.

Please note that if you create brewery notes or beer notes in the free trial version, they will be lost when you upgrade to the paid version. I'm working on a fix for this; keep your eye on this forum for news.

have fun

I got to try some Zirndorfer in Nürnberg last year — good stuff! — but I've never seen it for sale in the States.

I spent three years in Germany during the late 80s and loved Zirndorfer Beer.  Does anyone know of a site on-line or in the US where I can buy this beer?

I don't have an Apple machine to do site testing, so if any Apple users out there can help, I'll be very grateful.

    I tried to go to the beerme site tonight and couldn't load it using my usual browser, Camino 1.6.10. As background, my iPod Touch using Safari loads the site just fine. But my Mac laptop, with OS 10.3.9., accepting all cookies, java applets enabled, etc, can't load it.

    The Nebraska Brewing banner ad at the top of the page never loads, and Camino continually consumes about 65% of the processor, never falling back to its usual 5% or so. I think it keeps trying to load the banner ad, but it can't ever finish the task.

    I tried using Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6), which loaded the site, including the Nebraska Brewing banner ad, but it again used 60% of the processor endlessly, until I went to a completely different website, then came back to beerme. But then Safari then crashed twice when I tried to click on links. Hmm, unusable again.

    I believe it is an issue of support for legacy devices such as mine. Can you configure the site so that Explorer 8 graphics are accessible to old Macs like mine? I hope you can tweak it so I can use beerme. I was able to use the beerme blog, by selecting it on the Google search, instead of the main beerme site.
