    Pops in the Brewhouse

    May 1, 2009 - Brian Yaeger

    After President Carter legalized homebrewing, some homebrewers during the Reagan era fashioned this idea of starting microbreweries. Some of the survivors employ their kids today. But what about the Clinton generation who have always enjoyed craft beer? These are the people responsible for the latest wave of DIY brewing. And nary a one has kids... View Article

    Remembering Michael Jackson

    November 1, 2007 - Staff

    Pioneering beer writer Michael Jackson, the “Beer Hunter,” died at his home in London on August 30.

    The Men in the Big Rubber Boots

    May 1, 2007 - Julie Johnson Bradford

    If you love the beers of Rogue Ales, take a moment to thank the inhospitable environment of Los Angeles. If John Maier had not found the sprawling city unbearable, he might not have left a lucrative job in the aerospace industry, might not have gravitated to brewing, and might not have made Rogue the innovative...

    Michael Jackson Drank Here: 25 Historic Beer Sites

    March 1, 2005 - Stan Hieronymus

    The anniversaries have started to come fast and furious. It’s been 40 years since Fritz Maytag tasted Anchor Steam for the first time. The Cartwright Brewery began its short life 25 years ago in Portland, OR, and it will be 20 years come April since the considerably more successful Widmer Brothers sold their first keg...

    From Britain to the Baltic

    November 1, 2003 - Roger Protz

    The passion for porter and stout in Russia and the Baltic is due to the vigor with which London brewers exported their beers in the 18th and 19th centuries. At one time more than 10 London breweries were making strong versions of their dark beers for export. The most successful was Thrale on the south... View Article

    Russian Brewers: Tradition, Revival, and the Global Challenge

    November 1, 2003 - Roger Protz

    When the Soviet Union collapsed and Winston Churchill’s famous Iron Curtain opened, observers of the brewing scene discovered that Russians drink beer as well as vodka. The country has a fascinating brewing tradition that was hidden from view for most of the 20th century.

    Pushing the Envelope West Coast Style September 1, 2003 - Tom Dalldorf

    To those of us in the rest of the country, “ the West Coast” is a world apart. Despite the vast geographical spread from California to Alaska, despite a cultural spread that brought us both the Grateful Dead and Ronald Reagan, viewed from the outside, the West is one strange singularity. It is Hollywood glitz,... View Article

    Everybody Wants to be a Brewer

    July 1, 2002 - Stan Hieronymus

    Dan Carey knew early on that he wanted to be a professional brewer when he grew up. He remembers family car camping trips from their San Francisco home north to Victoria, BC.
