Hip Hops: But what if brewing wasn’t supposed to be EZ?

A year and a half has elapsed since it was first revealed that beer would be “brewed” for the first time since the 19th century (was it ever?) in Georgetown, Indiana at a restaurant to be dubbed Rails & Ales Brew House. The time has arrived for the eatery’s soft opening days, and it plans […]

Edibles & Potables: Garum, the (better) ketchup of the ancient Roman gods

Roman fish sauce, along with oil and wine, formed a triad of commodities which dominated Mediterranean trade.

Hip Hops: C’mon, you’re just buttering me up (or, Harry Potter’s diacetyl beer)

Having recently celebrated my 65th birthday, each passing moment brings another reminder that my life’s chronology largely predates today’s image-driven, post-literate world. My grandparents were born in the late 1890s. I taught myself to read by looking at the pictures in actual books, and we had a black and white television set until around 1971. […]

Hip Hops: “The Beer World According to Spike,” a 1999 polemic

I tend to get testy whenever someone who works in the craft beer business takes to praising insipid High Life or bland Banquet. That’s because craft beer exists as an explicit rejection of the mainstream, which at one point 40-odd years ago was an effective monopoly of one principal beer style manufactured by a tiny […]
