Earlier this week, Boak & Bailey pointed to a couple of other posts and offered a thought and a question about “Native or Local?”<\/a><\/p>\n

First, the thought. “It seems that native style, then, might be a more important idea than local manufacture.”<\/p>\n

Second, the question. “Thought experiment: if you were to visit Berlin, would you feel you\u2019d had a more authentic experience drinking American-brewed Berliner Weisse, or locally made Cascade-hopped IPA?”<\/p>\n

Maybe it was the word “native” that caught my attention. Or the question John Holl asked about if beer were invented today<\/a> was still rattling around in my head. Anyway, this is something that’s been on my mind for a while — what makes a beer indigenous and what belongs on the official indigenous beer list?<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, there might be a book in the works, which I’d like to help make better. So I’ve been building a bit of a list of what might be called “indigenous beers.” You can help improve it and in return you might win a book. I’ve had several show up at my door, so will reward one contributor an opportunity to pick from them.<\/p>\n

To win, add a beer to this list. Or provide meaningful details about one of the beers already here. Or add something to the “What the heck is indigenous?” conversation. For instance: New Glarus Brewing uses the phrase “Drink Indigenous” on its logo. The brewery is Wisconsin through and through, but what does that mean for its beers?<\/p>\n

The prize winner will be drawn from those who comment or<\/em> — for those feeling shy — email suggestions to beerterroir@gmail.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n

So for starters, uniquely American beers:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Choc
\n* Classic American Pilsner
\nSteam
\nKentucky Common
\nAmerican colonial ales<\/p>\n

* And then there is the question, does this beer really belong on the list?<\/em><\/p>\n

And (this list is woefully short) the rest of the world:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grodziskie
\nChang
\nChicha
\nSahti
\nGotlandsdricke
\nKeptinis Alus
\nHeather ale
\nEqyptian Bouza
\nMesopotanium ale
\nAfrican sorghum beers (there are enough perhaps they should be considered individually)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
