My take: There are problems to be solved. And changing the conversation by pointing to a different one does not mean the first (or second or third) suddenly isn’t one. Beyond that, there have already been enough words spilled over what was easily the biggest American beer story of the week and little need for any from me. I’ll simply add that the initial post was particularly ambitious, and as ProPublica points out such things are a lot of work<\/a>. So here you go:<\/p>\n – It starts with this post<\/a>.<\/p>\n – The posts that followed included this<\/a> and this<\/a>. – There likely were outbursts in other channels, but Twitter was enough for me. Consider these three threads (and where they might lead you): From @libman37<\/a>, from @goodbeerhunting,<\/a> and from @wackfactory.<\/a><\/p>\n – And it would seem a discussion about Women and the Wine Industry<\/a> might be worth our time.<\/p>\n – The one story I saved during our weeks of travel that you really should read: Craft Beer Changes the Math on Healthy Drinking.<\/a> “As humans, we’re masters at misleading ourselves. In the craft beer world, we’ve begun to justify our ‘neat habit’ in a cloak of appreciation, advocacy, and artisanship.”<\/p>\n – I @EricAsimov<\/a> just read your brown ales piece & there\u2019s so much to like there but the bored quasi-intellectual snobbery intro is the tiredest of journalistic tropes & you are clearly, far better, and more talented, than that so please use that hard earned skill better. Cheers.<\/p>\n — Melissa Cole (@MelissaCole) January 6, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\n<\/p>\nSOME OTHER STUFF<\/h5>\n
might<\/del> am out of touch, but it seems to me that there aren’t as many beer tastings at The New York Times as back in the day. But when they happen beer fans still go, “Whoa! Beer in the New York Times.” So there was excitement when brown ales returned<\/a> to The Times this past week. Returned? Yep, after almost 11 years. Without looking, can you name the top-rated brown in 2007?<\/a> Returning to the current tasting, let’s let Melissa Cole comment. <\/p>\n\n
