Still not commenting about the Monster Deal. Still can\u2019t get away from navel gazing (final 3 links).<\/p>\n
DRINKS FOR BETTY<\/strong> THEN CAME MARCH 2020<\/strong> TRENDS<\/strong> LIFESTYLES<\/strong> LIFESTYLES II<\/strong> It is good marketing to portray it as a working person’s drink, calling on images of laborers enjoying beer at the end of a shift. Consider this evocative sentence:<\/a> “There would be twenty or thirty men either sitting on a grass bank of leaning against a wooden fence drinking and chatting before working and when the morning shift came up from work, some of them would buy a drink and stand or sit in the lane before going home.” But when we buy into that nostalgia, it might be best to stop and consider what we are longing for.<\/p>\n CYMBOSPONDYLUS YOUNGORUM <\/strong> AROMA & FLAVOR<\/strong> COUNTERPOINT<\/strong> NO COMMENT(S)<\/strong> AN ALTERNATIVE<\/strong> ALWAYS FOR PLEASURE<\/strong><\/p>\n Policy statement. pic.twitter.com\/bYeYqE2D7Q<\/a><\/p>\n — Boak and Bailey (@BoakandBailey) January 14, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nOver the years patrons started buying drinks for Betty White<\/a> in the case that she ever returned to Mineral Point, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n
\nFrom the Zenne Valley.<\/a><\/p>\n
\nA half dozen.<\/a> Smoked lager?<\/p>\n
\n– Beer.<\/a>
\n– Wine.<\/a> <\/p>\n
\nIn that first link directly above, Jeff Alworth writes beer is “an everyman (everyperson?) drink.” I would argue craft beer is not. (Please settle for this<\/a> for now.)<\/p>\n
\nFirst, a beer was named for a fossil. Later, a species was named for the maker of the beer<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nA newish site (still in beta) called “Shepard: Discover the Best Books” asked me to contribute to their list of \u201cbest books.\u201d They might have been expecting 5 beer books, but instead I suggested 5 about aroma and flavor<\/a>. More about the picks Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\nJeff Alworth on the state of beer blogging and media<\/a>. \u201cGrandpa\u2019s old blog may seem peripheral to the media world\u2014though by my reading this couldn\u2019t be more wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nA wonderful post from Beth Demmon about the evolution of her personal bucket list<\/a> would seem to be the sort of blogging Alworth is defending. But there is no opportunity to comment. I guess you have to do that on Twitter.<\/p>\n
\nWhy create a subscription site?<\/a> Because it gives value to writing. Despite this view that all things creative are done simply for passion, writing about wine has a cost whether that\u2019s travel, research, books, education, or just one\u2019s time.<\/p>\n\n
