Maureen Ogle has been adding to “outtakes” about the history of the American Homebrewers Association that didn’t quite fit into her book, Ambitious Brew, and now Charlie Papazian has chimed in as well.
So, what the heck, I dug out a story I wrote for Zymurgy magazine in 2003 about the birth of Zymurgy. It appeared in the 25th anniversary edition.
By the time Charlie is done it may all be redundant. After all, he was there.
Maureen has been posting her outtakes in digestible chunks, but I’m on the lazy side so you’ll find my story in one piece in the library.
