\"ThirdI’m not promising to lead off with links to beer pleasures every Monday, but I was happy with the way it went last week<\/a>. So here goes . . . <\/p>\n

– In Croatia and Montenegro, “There\u2019s still a thrill of the hunt in this kind of craft beer environment<\/a>, which is obviously long, long gone in the US, perhaps to such an extreme that it\u2019s detrimental to breweries. And you quickly become so much less jaded in a scene like this . . .” <\/p>\n

– Third Eye Brewing was a big winner at the Great American Beer Festival. David Nilson’s story focuses on the joy of drinking their beers.<\/a><\/p>\n

– I 100 percent endorse a visit to Augustiner Br\u00e4ustuben in Munich. “It\u2019s a classic beer hall with character to spare, more down-home than other beerhalls in the city.”<\/a><\/p>\n

– Stephanie Grant shares (almost) everything she at and drank in San Diego<\/a>. And we’re not just talking beer.<\/p>\n

– Coors threw a party Saturday to celebrate 150 years in business, and Axios published this 8 fun facts about Coors Brewing you probably didn’t know<\/a>. There’s a 9th less-known one. We live about six miles from the brewery.<\/p>\n

– When The Beer Nut writes “At the end of the glass I felt like giving it a standing ovation”<\/a><\/a> that’s a beer I’d really like to taste. A little surprised to see the hop Luminosa that far from its Oregon home. I’d write more about its heritage, but that might be construed as gatekeeping (see next entry).<\/p>\n

Gatekeeping<\/strong>
\nConsider this:<\/a> “The neverending impromptu pop quiz from the older, wealthier white man who has more knowledge and will grill you at the drop of a hat still has me on edge, and now I see it in modern beer spaces. I\u2019ve spoken to many other working-class people who feel the same. It’s a ritual of gatekeeping and wealthy white men aren\u2019t the only ones to do it.”<\/p>\n

This story about tasting tools<\/a> is also relevant. And because beer isn’t the only arena where this is happening, an interview with the author of Discriminating Taste: How Class Anxiety Created the American Food Revolution.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Good for business<\/strong>
\n– The socio-economic value of local pubs.<\/a> This is a press release, so consider the bias.<\/p>\n

– Cask ale revealed as the core of today\u2019s UK pub culture.<\/a> Another press release, and about a study conducted by a brewing company. Tread lightly. <\/p>\n

Final words<\/strong>
\n“We want different views, we want a vibrant and rich ecosystem.”<\/em>
