The Business of Love and Money and Online Dating
Erin is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
They are man's two basic desires- love and money.
One of the first things man did was look for a spouse. In all societies, across all of time, no individual was complete without a partner. It was only a matter of time until man figured out how to combine his two pursuits. While many have attempted to make money and let it bring you love (and failed), the golden opportunity today is to make money off of other's (and your own) pursuit of love.
Man used to need a watering hole to meet a woman. Then he needed a matchmaker. Now he has the internet. According to Match.com, 17% of couples married in the last 3 years, met on an online dating site. Online dating has doubled in size and revenues in the past five years. Nearly forty million individuals are looking for love online this year, up from twenty million in 2007, according to Match.com. In fact, the online business of love and dating has become a nearly two billion dollar industry, up from $900 million in 2007.
People looking to invest in love, or maybe just to make money off of those looking for love, have several options available. Some of the most popular and largest online dating sites, Match.com and Chemistry.com, belong to InterActive Corp (NASDAQ: IACI). IAC controls about 20% of the online dating market, with other holdings such as BlackPeopleMeet.com and SeniorPeopleMeet.com. But IAC is not specifically in the love matching business. It is an internet properties business that also owns Ask.com, Dictionary.com, and UrbanSpoon, just to name a few.
The company saw 26% growth in revenue from FY 2010 ($1.6B) to FY 2011 ($2B). The stock is currently trading at its 52 week high ($50.90), up significantly from its low one year ago of $29.96. The company began offering a cash dividend of 1% in November 2011. IAC earned $105.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. That's not too shabby for a company offering a non-tangible service and product.
Spark Networks (NYSEMKT: LOV) is also making money bringing couples together. Spark operates multiple niche dating websites, and online dating websites, as compared to IAC. Properties include ChristianMingle.com, SingleParentsMingle.com and Jdate.com. While considerably smaller than IAC, Spark has reported 30% growth in subscribers, and an increase of 27% in revenue for the fourth quarter. Full year 2011 revenue was $48.5 million, a 19% increase compared to $40.9 million for full year 2010.
While forty million Americans are looking for love online, China has 120 million potential dates searching the internet. Jiayuan.com (NASDAQ: DATE) is so popular in China that its name is synonymous with dating. However, good in love doesn't always mean good with money. Like so many other Chinese internet sites, the company has seen its stock take a nose dive in recent months. Jiayan only went public in May 2011, and opened at $11. It is currently trading at $5.41 as of the opening bell today.
Jiayuan announced net revenues for the 2011 fourth quarter of $14.1M, representing a YOY increase of 53.6%. Net revenues increased 97.7% to $52.6M. While the numbers sound good, and the site might find you a mate in China, be sure to fully understand what is happening with Internet properties out of China before investing there.
If it is a date that you seek, try Match.com. If it is love and marriage that you seek, eHarmony is the site boasting the most marriages per subscriber. If it is money that you seek, invest in IAC or Spark.

Artist Statement
"As an artist, it's up to me to find my own way in the world!"
How to describe Madison's Art:
Colorful, fun, expressive, abstract!
That's how I, a lifelong Eagle County resident, describes my artwork...
I usually start with a variety of mediums to draw with, to practice for my final larger paintings; these mediums range from colored marker, colored pencil, watercolor, and oil pastel.
My final pieces are always made with acrylic or oil paint, either canvas or cut wood.
What does art mean to you?
Art, to me, is about expression, fun and play. I believe we are all born artists; it is just a matter of showing your creative side to others. I think so many people are afraid of what others may think. Art is the lens into the human spirit. Celebrate your creative side; don't hide it.
When did you want to become an artist?
I believe everyone is born as a creative spirit, but we each grow up and follow our own paths. I decided I wanted to take on art as a career about three years ago. I received my master's in painting in December 2011 and now I am so happy I decided to follow my passion for the arts, in particular for painting. I am currently painting a new series of colorful abstract mountain landscapes. I also like to be in nature, which is very inspiring for my art, when I am not working on my painting, I also enjoy skiing and hiking.
The Vail Valley is a very inspiring place of beauty and I am very inspired by the mystic Aspens trees.
What inspires you to create? What sort of mood do you have to be in?
The environment around me inspires me to paint. I am working on a new series of 10-12 large, colorful mountain landscape paintings. The Colorado mountain landscape that I live in is very inspiring for me to paint during any time of year or any time of day. I enjoy creating the many textures and shapes found in the world we live in. I am always in the mood to paint. Art is an obsession for me, but better; it's my passion. It's important to let the artistic people express themselves. Art is very important! Without art we an not human. I want to share the joy I get from painting with others around me. If I didn't have to pay my bills, I would paint all the time. Or when there is snow, I ski and paint Aspens.
|Watercolor & Colored Pencil
Why did you choose the medium that you work with, or did it choose you? The mediums I like to work with all about color. I like paint the best because it works the best to get the best result I like. I love mixing my own colors and layering them. I also like to use oil pastels, colored markers, colored pencils and watercolor.
If I could meet any artist who would it be and what would you talk about? I would want to meet artist Clyfford Still. I went to the Clyfford Still Museum in Denver (I would highly recommend it).
It was a very inspiring exhibit for me. I would love to talk to Clyfford about abstract expressionist painting.

Franklin & Marshall College of Lancaster, PA, recently awarded an Honorary Doctor of Science Degree to Dr. Caswell Evans, the College of Dentistry's Associate Dean for Prevention and Public Health Sciences Dr. Evans earned his BA in English from Franklin & Marshall in 1965.
Dr. Daniel R. Porterfield, President of Franklin & Marshall, told Dr. Evans that the institution wanted "to honor you for your work as a strong and effective advocate for health promotion and disease prevention and your deep commitment to health equity and eliminating health disparities."
Prior to joining the College faculty in 2004, Dr. Evans served as Executive Editor and Project Director of the U.S. Surgeon General's landmark 2000 report on the state of the nation's oral health, Oral Health in America. Through that report, Dr. Evans popularized the term "silent epidemic" to describe the lack of oral healthcare for minorities and the poor.
At the College, the Division of Prevention and Public Health Sciences plans and executes the College's community-based clinical and non-clinical extramural experiences and public health coursework. In the community-based Extramural Education Program, fourth-year students participate in service-learning experiences in community-based clinics, providing care for underserved urban, rural, and special needs populations.
Dr. Evans noted that, "To be honored in this way based on my work in, and contribution to, improving population health was a thrill and quite special."
The 23rd annual College of Dentistry Golf Outing, hosted by the College and the UIC Dental Alumni Association Board of Directors is Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2014.

Congratulations to Dr. Alison Doubleday on receiving the 2014 Jon Daniel Teaching Award. This award confers upon her the distinction as a Jon Daniel Teaching Scholar.
Dr. Doubleday's vision, organizational skills, and important work in designing and implementing the new curriculum were all cited as impetus for her nomination. Noted for her dedication to revitalizing the anatomy curriculum, Dr. Doubleday was instrumental in developing many new teaching tools including SoftChalk, use of iPads and videos in anatomy lab. Dr. Doubleday's commitment to the COD's academic mission and availability to both students and colleagues make her an outstanding choice for this award. Dr. Doubleday acknowledges that,"learning is a complex process and students approach this process differently. In order to give students the help they need, it's not enough for a teacher to be a content expert, teachers must be patient, creative and supportive."
The Daniel Award was established in 2010 in memory of longtime Oral Biology faculty member Dr. Jon Daniel, to honor instructors making exemplary contributions to UIC dental students education. The award honors many of Dr. Daniels' qualities, including, the ability to engage students' interest and curiosity, to motivate and challenge students and to respond to student needs. Dr. Daniel passed away in 2009.
University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry senior students Hussain Ali, Alexandria Balich, Joseph Beatty, and Cristian Pavel embarked on an international rotation to Guatemala this past year. The students' primary objective was providing dental care for 55 children in preschool through first grade. However, it was clear that the Guatemalan youngsters were desperate for books. The UIC students worked with Khatija Noorullah, the College's Clinical Community Academic Manager, to request children's books from the College community for the children in Guatemala. Together, college faculty, staff, and students donated around 100 books.
"They were able to start a library in the school where they provided the clinical dental care, Susanna Wesley School," Noorullah said. "It was great of the students to go the extra mile and for the College to participate so wholeheartedly." The school is located in Camanachaj in Guatemala's rural highlands. It educates children in pre-school, kindergarten, and first grade.
Dr. Bradford Johnson received his DDS degree from Virginia Commonwealth University/Medical College of Virginia. After completing a general practice residency and practicing general dentistry for several years, he earned his specialty certificate in endodontic at the UIC College of Dentistry. He began his teaching career in the Department of Endodontics in 1991 and became Director of Postdoctoral Endodontics in 2005. He has a Master of Health Professions Education degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago and was a Fellow of the American Dental Education Association Leadership Institute in 2005-2006. Dr. Johnson is a Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics.
Dr. Johnson has published over 70 articles and abstracts and is coauthor of five textbook chapters. His primary research interests include: clinical decision making, dental education, clinical outcomes research, and tissue regeneration.
Additionally, Dr. Johnson is a site visit consultant for the Commission on Dental Accreditation and has served on the National Board Dental Exam Test Construction Committee, Part 2, both the Endodontics specialty committee and Component B case-based committee.
Currently Dr. Johnson serves on the Scientific Advisory and Manuscript Review Panel of the Journal of Endodontics and has served on the AAE Research and Scientific Affairs Committee, Continuing Education Committee, Evidence Based Endodontics Committee, and various AAE ad hoc committees. He is past president of the Illinois Association of Endodontists and Edgar D Coolidge Endodontic Study Club. In May 2015, he will begin a 3-year term on the Board of Directors of the American Association of Endodontists.
Dr. Alison Doubleday, Assistant Professor, Oral Biology, and Dr. Fatemeh Afshari, Clinical Assistant Professor, Restorative Dentistry were selected to receive the 2013-14 Teaching Recognition Awards by peers through UIC's Council for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL).
Thirty-two people applied for this year's award. Recipients are selected by a CETL subcommittee of nine previous UIC faculty award recipients considers candidate statements, student feedback, peer reviews, course materials, mentoring of students, curriculum development, and implementation of new pedagogies and methods. The council was impressed with Dr. Doubleday's and Dr. Afshari's range of teaching activities and program development.
"The fact that this is a peer-reviewed award means a great deal to me," Dr. Doubleday said. "There are many exceptional teachers at UIC and I'm flattered and humbled that my teaching is recognized in this way by other UIC faculty. I am passionate about teaching, and I believe the first priority and responsibility for all faculty members at educational institutions is to help guide and facilitate the learning process for students. Through our teaching, we can instill curiosity about the world, as well as a desire to make connections across disciplines. In doing so, we provide students with the means to become life-long learners and we set them up for success in any field."
"It's in our nature to always better ourselves and strive for the best no matter what we do," Dr. Afshari said. "This is what I expect from my students—and myself." Asking oneself "why" is crucial to learning, Dr. Afshari explained. "My philosophy has been to pursue my students to learn by asking this simple question and, in turn, seeking the answer via an evidence-based, self-directed quest. My philosophy coincides with the school's mission of encouraging learners to become active participants in their own learning experience."
"For me, awards like this reaffirm the importance that UIC places on student learning," Dr. Doubleday said. "By recognizing and supporting the efforts of teachers, UIC is investing in student learning. Awards like this also encourage faculty members to try new teaching methodologies."
"It's nice to be recognized for the work we do as faculty on a daily basis and to be appreciated for our efforts," Dr. Afshari. "These awards also assist the College of Dentistry in being recognized within the UIC campus."
Dr. Afshari and Dr. Doubleday thanked colleagues and students who wrote letters of recommendation, faculty who have inspired them in their careers, and CETL.
The COD's Wach Research Grant Program Committee awarded the Department of Restorative Dentistry $15,000 to examine the "Correlation between diagnostic complexity and treatment outcomes: a prospective study." Co-investigators are Dr. Fatemeh Afshari, Clinical Assistant Professor, and Dr. Cortino Sukotjo and Dr. Judy Yuan, Assistant Professors, Restorative Dentistry.
Few studies have measured outcomes of treatments provided or correlated treatment to the diagnostic complexity, patients treated in a predoctoral dental or postgraduate prosthodontic programs. This research attempts to determine patient diagnoses and correlating to outcomes of implant therapy within a clinical setting, including assessment of patient expectations and satisfaction.
A pilot diagnosis and therapy-tracking database for implant patients was developed and implemented within the Department of Restorative Dentistry, and is successfully evaluating outcomes of implant-retained removable partial dentures, fixed complete dentures, and implant-retained overdentures on a trial basis.
"However, this research methodology can be adapted and improved from a paper format to a dynamic web-based database," Dr. Afshari explained. "To this end, in the proposed study, treatment outcomes will be prospectively documented via a secure web application—Research Electronic Data Capture, or REDCAP.
"As such, it will potentially have use in venues other than UIC, thereby fostering broad clinical research collaboration and large patient population outcomes research to improve patient treatment and maintenance," she added.
"By systematically analyzing a broad array of diagnostic factors via the prosthodontic diagnostic index and learning their associations with treatment outcomes, current and future methods for patient therapy are expected to be refined," Dr. Afshari said. "Most importantly, a more comprehensive assessment of patient perspectives will further focus therapy approaches towards patient benefits from functional, psychological, and economic perspectives.
"Collaboration with additional institutions will more readily occur because the web-based database approach will provide a systematic, user-friendly platform for data collection," she concluded. "Externally funded research will be more likely, and a larger patient population will yield even more accurate information regarding the link between prognostic factors and treatment outcomes."
The researchers thanked the Wach Research Grant Program Committee, chaired by Dr. Guy Adami, Associate Professor, Department of Oral Medicine and Diagnostic Sciences, for not only seeing merit in the proposal, but for giving the researchers opportunities to revise and improve it.
The project has received additional support from Restorative Dentistry Department Head Dr. Stephen Campbell and Postgraduate Program Directors Dr. Kent Knoernschild and Dr. Rand Harlow. Departmental Hygienist Mayra Suh and Clinical Director Stephanie Clarke also will work on the project.
COD student Elizabeth Razdolsky is the recipient of the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards for Individual Predoctoral MD/PhD and Other Dual Doctoral Degree Fellows (F30) from the National Institute of Health (NIH). Razdolsky, has a Bachelor's of Science from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor and is currently a 4th year in the COD's DMD/PhD Program. She will receive $48,467 a year to study a protein called pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), which may regulate blood vessel formation and scar formation in wounds. These studies may suggest future therapeutic options for tissue regeneration, fibrosis and cancer.
The Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards for Individual Predoctoral MD/PhD and Other Dual Doctoral Degree Fellows (F30) provides a maximum of six years support to students pursuing both DDS/DMD and PhD degrees. In addition to the annual stipend and partial tuition provided, funds are available for other training-related expenses. Applicants must be enrolled in a DDS/DMD program at an accredited U.S. dental school and accepted in a related scientific PhD (or equivalent degree) program.

Modernizing an outdated Medicaid system, Governor Quinn signed legislation on June 16, 2014 restoring previously authorized adult dental care to Illinois' three million Medicaid recipients. The legislation is "part of Governor Quinn's agenda to ensure all people have access to quality healthcare and improve the health and wellbeing of the people of Illinois."
The inclusion of dental care in the bill emphasizes dentistry's importance in maintaining a person's overall health. Prior to the signing of this bill, adult dental services were limited to emergency services.
More information pertaining to the signing of the bill can be found here. To review Senate Bill 741, click here; specifics regarding the adult dental benefit changes can be found on page 206 of the PDF document.
The annual Multidisciplinary Oral Science Training (MOST) is June 2 through August 22nd, 2014. A symposium for students project presentations is August 19.
MOST is directed by Dr. Ana Bedran-Russo of the Department of Restorative Dentistry. Student participants are undergraduates exploring career opportunities in biomedical research and health sciences. Students hail from UIUC, UIC, Indiana University, Loyola University Chicago, DePaul among others. Student's mentors are leading researchers in UIC's Colleges of Dentistry, Medicine, Pharmacy, and Liberal Arts & Sciences (Department of Chemistry). Funding for MOST comes from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research of National Institutes of Health (NIDCR).
The MOST training primarily takes place at the College of Dentistry, but labs in Medicine, Pharmacy and Chemistry will also host students.
MOST training reflects the College of Dentistry's mission to serve as a conduit for future scientists and clinician scientists. The program, along with NIDCR, believes that early exposure to research experiences inspires individuals to pursue careers in biomedical research, and hopefully in oral health research. Success of the program is measured students participating in MOST later enrolling in oral health graduate programs or biomedical clinician scientist programs (such as PhD/DMD or PhD/MD).
More information on MOST and its role in the COD, can be found here.
Senior COD students Joe Beatty, Hussain Ali, Alexandria Balich and Cristian Pavel recently returned from an international rotation to Guatemala. The groups primary objective in Guatemala was providing dental care for 55 children in preschool through first grade. Most of the children served live in the rural Mayan village of Camunchuk. One day, however, was spent in another rural village, Nauhuala – in that one day alone, between the 4 COD students, 65 patients were seen and 118 extractions completed!
Cristian Pavel, COD Class of 2014 Vice President, remarked that "what sticks with me most is the incredible affection of these children, from day one they held nothing back. One child in particular, Nehemias, has cerebral palsy and he was a true inspiration to all of us. Not once did we see him without a huge smile on his face. Not only was he an excellent patient, but every time we would see him he would hold out his arms in anticipation for a big loving hug. We taught his mom how to properly brush his teeth since he may never gain enough co-ordination to do so." Furthermore, learned "that in order to grow even greater as an person, I must immerse myself in new cultures and apply my skills towards aiding individuals around the world."
You can hear more about the students experiences at a Lunch and Learn Thursday, May 8, 2014, 12:30-1:30 in Lecture Hall South. To RSVP for lunch please email Khatija Noorullah.

Our Man in the Field: The Process of the IP Solution, Part V
How to choose the correct lenses for your surveillance cameras
As discussed in the last column, resolution is a very important part of the overall image. Regardless of being an IP or an analog image, if the clarity of the image is too little to determine identity of the object, person, area or whatever it is that you are watching, you may as well save your efforts and not install the system. The next important issues surround what lenses you will choose.
Choosing the proper lens for your application is equal to all other portions combined. If you end up with a view that is too wide, the best resolution camera on the market will not give you a clear image of objects that are too far from the camera. Equally, if you choose too much magnification, the scene will be very narrow and you may be required to use more cameras than you intended to cover the application.
The first step to choosing lenses is to understand that it the decision is 100 percent based upon mathematics and therefore not magic or luck.
Starting at the beginning, we will assume that we are working with the defined camera application. You have your viewing position, purpose and required criteria worked out. We will assume that you have your camera style worked out as well -- that is, what type of camera you will need according to the light levels that you have to work with: day/night, color, low light, etc.
I will not assume that you have decided upon a standard camera or a mega-pixel camera yet, but you should at least have an idea as to whether or not you plan to use a fixed or Pan/Tilt (PT). Right off the bat, if you are planning to use a PT, you will most likely be looking to use a zoom lens, so you will calculate two ratios of lens ... the wide and the telephoto. However, with the IP solution, you may be able to replace the PTZ idea with a fixed mega-pixel camera. Again, it is determined by your application and transmission capabilities.
Let's start with the fixed lens. In order to calculate what lens to use, you must have three points or criteria. You must know the format size of the camera, the distance between the camera and the scene to be viewed, the width of the scene that you wish to view or the height of the scene that you wish to view. Without three of the four mentioned criteria, you cannot calculate a lens.
The width or height of the scene will be based upon what you are trying to see. The size of the objects required in your view for identification or viewing will also matter. Based upon general applications, the object of view should take up at least 10 to 20 percent of the overall width of the scene. The smaller the detail of the object, the more of the scene you must have focused on the object. Personal identification of a human should be 25% of the overall scene width as based upon the SWGIT CCTV guidelines (Scientific Working Group on Imaging Technology; recently adopted by the FBI as a standard on CCTV system design).
From here, there are four or five different methods for calculating a lens. You can use a formula:
SCENE WIDTH = (Format (Hz) X Distance) / Focal Length
For this, you need to know certain statistics about the imager in the camera that you are using, i.e. the horizontal or vertical format size of the imager. The second (and easier) method would be to use a field of view calculator. These wheels or slide rules are available, for free, from almost all of the major manufacturers and are very easy to use.
You could also use a cheat sheet. This is a form that list several different sizes of lens down the left column and general distances in feet or meters across the top. The objective is to match the distance with the lens and come to the point where they cross and see the field of view that you would create.

Chances are, the team at 4 Pines weren't the first Australians to check out their local bars only to conclude there wasn't a single good beer to be found in any of them. Equally, the chances are very few have decided to do something about it by opening a venue and brewing their own. Mostly Western Australian in origin and starved of the quality beer they'd become used to in WA, where the Aussie craft beer revolution started, that's exactly what they did.
The result of their enterprise is 4 Pines, the brewery, bar and restaurant that overlooks the Manly ferry terminal and is playing a key role in turning Sydneysiders onto better beer. Opened in the middle of 2008 when there wasn't an Aussie craft beer to be found anywhere in the suburb, it rapidly earned a reputation for brewing a quality drop. They started out with four core beers – Kolsch, Pale, Hefeweizen and ESB – but have expanded to a point where those are now complemented by 15 to 20 seasonals and specialty batches every year – plus the world's first ever beer designed for consumption in space, a unique version of their stout going by the name – 4 Pines "Vostok Space Beer" Stout – www.vostokspacebeer.com .
The success of the brewery has been such that 4 Pines is in the process of setting up a new 50 hectolitre system (for those to whom that means nothing, that's ten times the size of their current brewery – i.e. pretty darn big). The hope is that this will allow them to share the love and send more beer outside the local community. So far only occasional kegs have made it outside Manly – usually for festivals – and only the Kolsch, Pale, Hefeweizen and Stout are bottled, making the pilgrimage to the brewery itself essential for anyone wanting to tuck into everything from their Imperial Stout to the awesome Wee Heavy that debuted at the 2011 Great Australian Beer SpecTAPular.
Aside from the beer, 4 Pines kitchen is in itself what many locals come back for multiple times a week! From an eye fillet steak, to their famous chunky chips the menu covers all bases, while the mega burger and signature beef pie are the stuff of local legend, The venue also hosts live music every Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday. You'll even find a magician wandering between the tables on Thursdays in what could be an Aussie brewery first, plus special beer nights and themed beer events and festivals, all of which you can keep up to date with by joining their beer club.
Here's hoping more Australians who can't find good beer at their local follow the 4 Pines example.

4 Pines Kolsch
The 4 Pines Kolsch helped garner a little attention for the brewery in 2010 when it picked up gold at the 2010 Sydney Royal Show, one of the toughest judged beer competitions in Australia. Light straw in colour, with aromas of lemon and lime and a light malty palate, it finishes crisp and clean and is a good beer for winning over the uninitiated to the craft beer cause.
Awards: Gold - Sydney Royal Show (2010), Silver - Australian International Beer Awards (2011)
Style: Kolsch
Strength: 4.6%
4 Pines Pale Ale
A beer crammed with four varieties of American hop and a hefty malt bill that results in a deep amber beer with a touch of ruby. The hops give you aromas of pine and grapefruit before the malt gives way to a solid bitter finish.
Awards: Silver - Sydney Royal Show (2010), Silver - Australian International Beer Awards (2012)
Style: American Pale Ale
Strength: 5.1%
4 Pines ESB
An Extra Special Bitter that's true to the beer's British origins, this gold medallist from the 2010 Australian International Beer Awards is a mouth-filling, full-flavoured malty treat of a beer. Deep copper in colour with some floral, earthy hints on the nose, the ale yeast offers up some nice fruit flavours before the malts take over in the form of coffee and caramel. Oh, and there's plenty of bitterness at the end – it is an Extra Special Bitter, after all.
Awards: Gold - Australian International Beer Awards (2010), Silver - Australian International Beer Awards (2009)
Style: ESB
Strength: 5.6%
4 Pines Hefeweizen
A beer that takes its inspiration from the style that was born in Bavaria in South Germany, but creates a version using only Kiwi hops. It pours a cloudy pale straw, has a mildly sweet nose with a touch of banana and a rounded palate of both banana and typical hefe yeast spiciness.
Awards: Bronze - Australian International Beer Awards (2010)
Style: Hefeweizen
Strength: 5.2%
4 Pines Stout
The beer that is being developed as the world's first "space beer", the 4 Pines Stout is made in the dry Irish style and made with a seven-strong malt lineup. Nigh on black with a tan head, it gives off coffee, chocolate and caramel on the nose, characteristics that come through on the palate too, along with a smooth finishing bitterness.
Awards: Gold - Australian International Beer Awards (2012), Silver - Australian International Beer Awards (2010)
Style: Irish Stout
Strength: 5.1%
4 Pines ESB (500ml bottles)
Way back at the first ever GABS – back when the "A" stood for Australian not Australasian, there were 20 not 89 beers, and it took place at The Local Taphouses not the Royal Exhibition Building – among the crazy high ABV beers and hop bombs one of the standouts was 4 Pines' Wee Heavy: a multi-layered, luscious malty treat. It was like a step up from their ESB, and now that ESB – which itself seems to have become beefier since – has been released in chunky 500ml bottles to complement the brewery's 330ml bottle range.
And it's a cracker: a rich, hearty blend of toffee and sweet nut aromas and flavours that heap layer upon layer of goodness into every mouthful. The hops are there to add little more than a spot of grounding earthiness and balancing bitterness, allowing the malts – and a wee bit of raisiny fruitiness – to take centre stage. The Crafty Pint grew up in the UK drinking ales and this is a reminder of home in a good way, so much so we've been foisting it onto all of our beer loving mates with gusto. Another winner from one of Australia's finest and most consistent breweries.
Style: ESB
Strength: 5.4%
Bitterness: 45 IBU
4 Pines Keller Door: Imperial India Brown Ale
Up until now, Sydney's 4 Pines has tended to use its occasional bottled Keller Door releases to showcase beers a little different from their core range without straying too far from the 4 Pines path. There have been single hop IPAs, an Oktoberfest lager and a hoppy amber. But, for their latest, there's been something of a change of tack, one that has essentially seen things ratcheted up several notches. And when we say "things" we mean hops, malt and booze content. The Imperial Brown Ale is a beer that leaves little in the locker room and it's surely no accident they reference America in their release notes as it's the sort of beer that would first have appeared in the American craft beer scene. It looks like a carbonated muscat, hits you with a combination of resinous hops, nuts, treacly toffee and dates then backs those up with a lingering, bitter but balanced, almost sticky finish. The brewers reckon it's "so smooth it should be a Morgan Freeman monologue", which seems appropriate as the surreptitious 8 percent booze will relax you just as quick as his soporific tones.

4 Pines Keller Series: Amber Mosaic
The team at Manly's 4 Pines is back with another seasonal release in 500ml bottles. And, as with those that have come before, they continue to eschew the path trodden by many local brewers when it comes to seasonal releases – in other words, go nuts – in favour of releasing rather more approachable affairs. Following in the footsteps of the likes of their Oktoberfest lager and the recent Calypso comes the Amber Mosaic. It is a beer that has seen the light of day on tap before and is now enjoying nationwide packaged exposure. It's a good-looking beer: bright, burnished amber with an off-white head – and rather flavoursome too. The Mosaic hops lend the beer some familiar citrus and tropical fruit aromas, which are joined by caramel and toffee as the beer warms. Those malt flavours are more prominent in the mouth in a beer that wraps up with a touch of toast alongside the hops' cleansing bitterness.

4 Pines Keller Door Single Hop Series Calypso
Of all the Keller Door series undertaken by Manley's 4 Pines, the Single Hop Series has been the most prolific, resulting in a broad spectrum of beers showcasing different hops from around the globe. The concept is simple: to the same base beer is added a different hop variety so that drinkers can discover just what it does to a beer. The Calypso is something of a rarity in the series given it has gone beyond being a limited run tap beer and made it into 500ml bottles that will be available relatively widely across the country. Given it has been chosen to flee the coop, you might expect it to be the sort of hoppy ale that leaps up your nostrils and then takes a spanking paddle to the back of your tongue. However, it's actually a rather delicate affair, one that saunters gaily through your nostrils while reaching for feathers from the dress up wardrobe with which to tantalise rather than pummel the back of your tongue. What the Calypso hop serves up is of the citrusy and spicy variety, characteristics that are prominent more on the palate than the aroma. It would be interesting to see how it fares turned up to 11 in an IPA.
Style: Single Hop Pale Ale
Strength: 5.0%
Bitterness: 27 IBU
4 Pines Keller Door Series: Oktoberfest
There's a line in the Sh!t Beer Geeks Say! video from Good Beer Week 2013 in which one of the geeks comments that a brewery's beer isn't the same since they increased capacity. It's probably the kind of thing that will have crossed the minds of one or two as 4 Pines went from a Manly brewpub knocking out all its beers on an in-house 500 litre system to owners of a 5,000 offsite brewery – via a few contract brews of its big sellers. It's a thought that is diminished pretty much any time you drink one of their beers as they continue what must be one of the smoothest transitions from said brewpub to one of the country's largest craft brewers. This Oktoberfest beer is their latest quarterly bottled Keller Door release and, while it doesn't get us hot under the collar like the outstanding ESB (little does at the minute, except maybe the prospect of Steve Mason, the Polyphonic Spree, Fuck Buttons and three big beer events in the next 16 days), it's none too shabby either. For a start, it looks gorgeous – a glowing copper with fluffy white head – and while it possesses the caramel and toffee characteristics of the style, they're not overbearing, with the gentle aroma and soft bitterness of noble German hops topping and tailing it all rather elegantly.

4 Pines Keller Door Series: USA 2013
They love celebrating the nations of the world at 4 Pines. Give them a country marking an occasion of significance and they'll give you a new beer; sometimes four. Once again they've used Independence Day as an excuse to head to the brewery armed with tonnes of hops to create a series of US-inspired ales. It's the fourth time they've marked Independence Day in such a manner, with this year's beers the 10th, 11th and 12th Yankee beers.
As brewery owner Jaron tells us: "This occasion is perfect to work with some fantastic ingredients and awesome styles of beer, as well as give thanks to Will Smith, in memory of the day he single handedly thwarted an Alien Invasion taking over the world."
While it's their fourth US-inspired series and umpteenth Keller Door release, it's the first that has seen such a beer appear inside bottles; big bottles too. Said beer is the El Dorado IPA, which measures six per cent ABV and 55 IBU. We sampled Flying Dog's single hop El Dorado when in the States earlier in the year (their single hop series uses 10 per cent IIPAs as the base beer…) and it was one of the better beers on offer at their cellar door (don't be tempted by the Green Tea Imperial Stout…) suggesting it's a hop with a bright, some might say golden, future. It's a new clone of hop out of the Pacific North West, which the 4 Pines crew says gives: "multi-layered aroma and taste contributions including tropical fruit, cotton candy, pear, cut grass and watermelon."
The other two new beers are keg only. There's RyePA 2013 (5.6 per cent ABV, 40 IBU), which is an update on their 2011 release – a hearty American Pale Ale brewed with a portion of rye malt. Dry with a spicy complexity, apparently. And then there's the Imperial IPA (10 percent ABV, 90 IBU), which they're calling: "The epitome of loud, unsubtle Americans. Big, brash and bold with a mouth-puckering hop presence."

4 Pines Autumn Ale
Inspiration for a new 4 Pines beer can apparently come from many different sources. It can, like their stout – the 'Certified Space Beer' – spend years in continual development and involve aeronautical engineers and zero-gravity flights. Others, like this one, have a rather more straightforward genesis. The story goes that 4 Pines brewers Andrew Tweddell and Chris Willcock were chatting with the bar supervisor, Chris Moore, when the conversation turned along the lines of:
Chris W: We need to brew another Cask Ale for after St Pat's Day.
Andrew: What should we brew?
Chris M: The Summer Ale was popular.
Chris W: Yeah, but it's not summer anymore.
Chris M: Autumn Ale?
Chris W: Makes sense.
Andrew: Autumn Amber Ale?
Chris W: Brilliant!
And so we have the 4 Pines Autumn Amber Ale, which the brewers have described as "a pretty typical American Amber style, with a toasty malt sweetness and rounded tropical and grassy hop notes". Those come from the Mosaic hops from the USA which were used to experiment in bittering, aroma and in dry hopping. We've been told that's it's drinking perfectly from the hand pump and at the current rate won't last more than a couple of weeks.

4 Pines Keller Door Series 2013: St Pat's Stouts
Despite having a flash new brewery in Brookvale, the brewing team at 4 Pines are making sure they still get time to play with the old set-up back in Manly by continuing to knock out their Keller Door releases. This latest release coincides with St Patrick's Day – surely of of the stoutiest times of the year – and the St Pat's Stout series. Where last year they served up four new stouts, this time they've gone for just the two; one big and one small. The small one is a Milk Stout which, at just 4.3 per cent abv, makes for a light and easy-drinker. With its coffee aromas, the brewers reckon this is one that'll tempting enough to make you put down your latte. At the other end of the spectrum is the Black Forest Imperial Stout which clocks in at eight per cent abv. The brewers say this one's an "experimental take on a high alcohol Russian Imperial Stout. Big and bold and infused with cocoa and cherries during maturation". It might be one to sip on towards the end of the night – "a dessert in a glass that comes to life as it warms". NO

4 Pines Keller Door Series 2013: Single Hops
The first Keller Door release from 4 Pines for 2013 is a new incarnation of 2012's popular Single Hop Series. The concept of the Single Hop Series is for the brewers to make the exact same beer several times over, with the only difference to the recipe being the variety of hop that's added. This year there are three beers on show, made with a malt bill consisting of 95% Ale malt, 4% Wheat and 1% Crystal malt. The hop varieties are Centennial from the USA, Hallertau Mittlefruh from Germany and Target from the UK. To give an idea of the sorts of differences to expect, the aromatic Centennial hop is widely used in American Pale and Golden Ales, Hallertau Mittlefruh should give lemon and lychee aromas while Target should bring through citrus and passionfruit. If you get a chance to taste these beers side by side, you'lll find that the Single Hop Series is probably one of the most rewarding – not to mention delicious – ways to discover the role that hops play in a beer. And if that necessitates a trip to 4 Pines at Manly, well… NO

4 Pines Christmas Ale 2012
There's something undeniably comforting about a winter Christmas: the glow of an open fire, snow outside the window and a warming festive ale in hand. But in Australia – where Christmas is generally spent increasing one's quota of sun, sand and surf – the last thing on most people's wish list is a strong dark spiced ale. What would be far more suited to the climate is something like a Summer Saison, and that's exactly what 4 Pines have delivered in time for Christmas 2012. This "highly sessionable" beer, as the 4 Pines crew tell us, is "orange in colour, with a distinctively spicy flavour and aroma, highlighted by the traditional yeast strain and the addition of cinnamon, clove, star anise, fennel, and pepper." 'Tis the saison! Nick O

4 Pines Keller Door Series 2012: Wee Heavy
We seem to recall that, back in the depths of time when GABS was merely the Great Australian Beer Spectapular held at the Local Taphouses rather than the behemoth that now bestrides the Royal Exhibition Building, one of the highlights was a rich, multi-layered malty number from 4 Pines going by the name Wee Heavy. So this, we assume, can be taken as some sort of relation of said beer. Its big, musclebound older brother perhaps, as while we remember the previous one rocking in at around seven per cent (exits Rainman mode), this is a rather larger affair. It's a 9.5 per cent strong Scotch Ale brewed in honour of St Andrew's Day and if you head along on the night of the launch (November 30) there are prizes on offer. Namely, they're giving a free Wee Heavy to anyone who proves their Scottish heritage, wears a kilt or can hold a conversation in a Sean Connery like accent.

The second in the 4 Pines series of multiple releases sees them switch from showcasing hops to showcasing rather darker beers. In tribute to St Patrick's Day, Keller Door 2 sees them unveiling a Dry Irish Stout (which is also pouring on the hand pump at their Manly venues) alongside an Oatmeal Stout, Choc Orange Stout and Russian Imperial Stout. The beers have been tapped at Manly to kickstart their Paddy's Day Weekend festivities, while others are currently winging their way around the country's beer bars for your deep and dark tasting pleasure.

4 Pines Spiced Ale 2011
Towards the end of last year, the crew at 4 Pines got into the festive spirit and laid down a very small batch of Christmas Ale. Alas, Christmas came and went with no sign of the beer. It remained firmly locked in its stainless steel prison, closely guarded but knowing its release was imminent. That time has finally come. Since it is now February, the specialty brew has been renamed 'Spiced Ale' and in terms of a description, it pretty much is what it says. In a way, having this Spiced Ale in February is probably about right because it's about halfway between a Christmas cake and an Easter bun – something you might like to cherish beside an open fire on a cold night. But if you're planning on waiting for winter to try it – don't. Only ten kegs were produced for release on special occasions. Lucky for you, something special must have happened out at Manly because they have a keg tapped right now… Nick O

4 Pines Keller Door Series 2012: Single Hops
The first of a what will be a series of releases throughout 2012 from the brewing team at 4 Pines, in which they simultaneously showcase four beers that share a theme. The concept is launched with the Single Hop series, which we wrote about on Crafty late last year. The four beers have been brewed with an identical malt bill (95% Ale, 4% Wheat, 1% Crystal) with the only difference being the choice of hop. The four varieties being used are Amarillo – an aromatic American hop synonymous with APAs and golden ales, Sorachi Ace (Japan) – which has an overwhelming and unique lemon, lemongrass and lychee like aroma, Galaxy (AUS) – known for its citrus and passionfruit aromas, and Aramis (France)– a strong, herbal, lemon like aroma. The idea is to give drinkers that chance to see what different hops can do to a beer. Watch out for future releases in the Keller Door series later in the year…

4 Pines Keller Door Series 2012: Amarillo Summer Ale
Throughout 2012, the brewers at 4 Pines will be releasing a series of single hop beers. However, it appears that they couldn't wait to get started as one has slipped out already. Taking a similar concept to BrewDog's IPA is Dead series and Mikkeller's Single Hop IPA series, the beers will be brewed to the same recipe with the only differing aspect the choice of hop. Kicking off the series is the American hop Amarillo, which has led to a beer described as "light in appearance, with a sweet aroma, refreshingly crisp with a slight bitterness destined to please your taste buds". If you want to check it for yourself, get thee to Manly!
Style: Summer Ale
4 Pines German Specials
For their Oktoberfest celebrations, the 4 Pines team has knocked out not one but four different German style beers to be tapped throughout the month. They are:
Pils, a 5.2%, 42 IBU lager featuring a NZ variation on a noble German hop;
Marzen, a 4.8%, 23 IBU lager they describe as "smooth, clean and rather rich with a depth of malt character that is soft complex and elegant";
Dunkelweizen, a 4.7%, 15 IBU take on the dark wheat beer style that's a "spicy, fruity, malty, refreshing" blending the yeast and wheat character of a hefeweizen with the malty richness of a Munich dunkel; and
Kristallweizen, a 5.0%, 17 IBU wheat beer that's "pale, spicy, fruity". You'll find them all appearing on tap at some point in October after the launch of the 4 Pines Oktoberfest on the 6th.
Style: Various Germans styles
Strength: Various
4 Pines Canuck & RyePA
A pair of new beers are rolling out of the brewhouse at 4 Pines this weekend as they set about celebrating both Canada Day and Independence Day. First up is the Canuck Canadian Red Ale, designed to be a perfect match with their maple syrup drizzled pancakes with bacon. It comes in at 5.0% and 30IBUs, is unfiltered and has "clean, fresh bitterness complimented by a biscuit-like palate and aroma". Then on Monday, the RyePA (Rye IPA), a beer firmly in the image of the country it's been brewed to celebrate – 7.0% and 49IBU – will be unleashed. According to the brewer, it's "decidedly hoppy and bitter" and "exhibits a fine balance between resinous hop bitterness and a rye derived grainy palate".
Style: Red Ale & Rye IPA
Strength: 5.0% & 7.0%
Bitterness: 30IBU and 49IBU

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it'll be the exact plot of Mad Men, but with these three playing every character.
Well two people I like.
