\"TheThat The Session has persisted for 100 months seems pretty astonishing to me. It apparently has outlasted Wine Blogging Wednesday<\/a>. Coincidentally, the 100th edition of Beer Advocate<\/em> magazine recently shipped to subscribers and beer friendly establishments where it is available. It includes a timeline with highlights from years beginning in 2007 — at that time, the Brewers Association defined as craft beer accounted for 3.8 percent of the market and Ray Daniels was just starting the Cicerone program. <\/p>\n

Host Reuben Gray’s choice for Session #100 — Resurrecting Lost Beer Styles<\/a> — leans heavily on history, so it seems like a good one for marking a milestone. He writes: <\/p>\n

There are many of them (lost styles) that have started to come back in to fashion since in the last 10 years due to the rise of craft beer around the world.<\/p>\n

If you have a local beer style that died out and is starting to appear again then please let the world know. Not everyone will so just write about any that you have experienced. Some of the recent style resurrections I have come across in Ireland are Kentucky Common, Grodziskie, Gose1<\/sup> and some others. Perhaps it’s a beer you have only come across in homebrew circles and is not even made commercially.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ve probably already written too much about Gose and Grodziskie<\/a> and after visiting Louisville and Lexington last week I know too much about Kentucky Common. Here’s the brewery cat at Apocolypse Brew Works<\/a> sleeping on brew logs Conrad Selle brought to share, and — pro tip — I’m the guy to avoid at the party in the days right after a productive research trip. You won’t have to buy the next book; you will have already heard it.<\/p>\n

But while I was talking to brewers in Kentucky a nagging thought returned. These beers disappeared, or nearly disappeared, because not enough people were buying them. So why should they be commercially viable now?<\/p>\n
