Comments on: What if rye-bread eaters had prevailed? http://appellationbeer.com/blog/what-if-rye-bread-eaters-had-prevailed/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 03:38:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Amy http://appellationbeer.com/blog/what-if-rye-bread-eaters-had-prevailed/comment-page-1/#comment-199042 Amy Mon, 23 Mar 2009 17:30:19 +0000 http://appellationbeer.com/blog/?p=1208#comment-199042 Stan, this is a interesting post. The preference for rye seems to have remained as a cultural/ethnic practice among East European Jews and Jewish-Americans. Triumph Brewing has developed a Jewish Rye Ale, brewed with rye and caraway seeds. I haven't tasted it but since I really like rye bread I would probably like the beer.

Consumers get the excess and salesmen make it so. Newspapers are/were a crucial tool for the sale of excess production. All of this topic is Agroecology-the science of sustainable agriculture. A fun study in interconnectedness! Stan- Thanks for pointing out some of the social components of this complex topic.
