The SessionHost Dave S has announced the topic for The Session #136 is Farmhouse Brewing.

Conversely, if you think that the modern idea of a farmhouse brewery is largely just about marketing and aesthetics then you could have a go at dissecting and deconstructing it. Where did it originate and what are its roots? Who popularized it? How is it constructed and signalled? Most importantly, why are people so keen to buy into it?

Or you could write about the 200-plus operations in New York the state officially recognized as “farm breweries.”
