Fermentation Anywhere: Brewers Experiment with Portable Coolships

by John Holl

Brandon Jones was standing on the loading dock of Yazoo Brewing Co. in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, looking over the coolship that had just been delivered. It would soon go into the upper reaches of the brewery building, but Jones was already thinking about getting it out. While most coolships are built to stay in place, […]

In the Kitchen: Chicken and Waffles

by John Holl

A staple in the South, chicken and waffles is treated to a Northern spin in this recipe that evokes memories of Thanksgiving dinner. This any-time-of-day meal features roasted chicken instead of the usual down-home fried variety. While you can use prepared ingredients, make it from scratch for a rewarding experience that’s worth the effort. Pair […]

The Family Tree of Yeast
Brewing Chemistry

The Family Tree of Yeast

by Stan Hieronymus

Per Kølster, who grows his own raw materials to brew beer in the countryside outside Copenhagen, Denmark, headed east several years ago to learn more about traditional farmhouse brewing. In Lithuania he made beer with a local farmer, and when it came time to pitch yeast, they walked to a neighboring farm to collect what […]

Hop Farming

Hop Farming

by John Holl

At the end of February, the ground was too wet for Brian Tennis to get into his hop fields with heavy equipment. “Right now it’s quiet,” he says, after months of snow falling, melting, falling and melting. “But we’ll be out there as soon as we can and then it’s [nonstop] until the harvest.” He […]

The Creative World of Fake Beers

by Mark Peters

Don’t you hate fake beer? I don’t mean “near beer”—beer that has an extremely low alcohol content. I mean beer you can’t actually drink because it doesn’t exist: Squinty Pete’s Backwash Brew, Tree Frog Beer and less absurdly named brands such as Escorpión (featured in “Casa de mi Padre”) and Skull Island (featured on “Dexter”). […]

Seasonal Disorder: The Disappearance of Spring Beer Styles

by Jeff Cioletti

At some point, when no one was really looking, an entire season just fell off the calendar. Think about it. Each year drinkers look forward to summer ales and autumn’s Oktoberfests and pumpkin beers. Then, as the air gets crisp and cold, the brews get spicy and boozy, with the arrival of winter warmers and […]

The Marketer and the Journalist

by Christopher Shepard

Once upon a time an ad was an ad and a story was a story. Or at least that’s the fairy tale journalists like me tell ourselves. Really, though, salespeople have made a living off telling stories for at least as long as reporters have. But over the past five, maybe 10 years, I’ve heard […]

Pull Up A Stool With Matt Van Wyk

Animal Advocacy Gets a Boost from Beer

by Kristen Kuchar

Joe Dinan and Lisa McDonald had one goal when moving from Chicago to North Carolina: buy a small farm to rescue and foster animals. Their love for beer and passion for homebrewing didn’t get left behind, though, and it crept into their aspirations. “We talked about opening a brewery, and how cool if would be […]

Beer Weekend: 48 Hours in Dallas

by Jennifer Simonson

Texas has no shortage of odd liquor laws. Texans have long had to deal with regulations that prohibit alcohol sales on Sunday, spawn hour-long beer runs in the middle of large dry counties and create a jigsaw puzzle of small “wet” and “dry” municipalities overlaying large urban areas. Growing up in Dallas, we learned at […]

Homebrewing with Hot Stones: How to Brew a Steinbier

by Jesse Bussard

Last summer, I joined my local homebrew club, Bridger Brew Crew, on our annual camping trip. A mountain stream, clear weather, the backdrop of Montana’s Absaroka Range and the company of fellow homebrewers set the scene for the weekend. In that interim, I also became better acquainted with an ancient and loosely defined beer type […]

Uniquely American
Beer Travelers

Uniquely American

by Brian Yaeger

Politics aside, America is a nation bursting at the seams with people and places—and beers—that make it great. It’s a nation founded on big ideas, big endeavors and big cities (and bigger open prairies, woods and mountain ranges). From the giant redwoods to the Grand Canyon to, uh, the Super Bowl, this is the land […]
