Neon Signage: A New Bend on Collecting

by Dave Gausepohl

This year marks the 95th anniversary of the neon sign. In less than a century, this advertising form went from slick to sleaze, but the interest of breweries and bar owners has helped keep the medium alive.

A Story without Heroes: The Cautionary Tale of Malt Liquor

by Kihm Winship

A Humble Birth, A Proper Upbringing Malt liquor was a child of necessity. Despite the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, the Depression was making things tough for brewers. Drinkers complained that beer lacked its old “kick.” And then World War II brought rationing. Not enough metal for bottle caps or cans, not enough malt to... View Article

Rules of Chocolate

by Fred Eckhardt

1. There is no caloric intake when beer and chocolate are combined. The calories in chocolate and those in beer counter and cancel each other out. 2.

Mozart for Beer and Chocolate

Mozart is especially nice because it offers the opportunity to add a new dimension. The presenter can buy cheap wooden chopsticks. Give a single chopstick to each participant as they arrive.

Cocoa Beans and Grains of Barley: the Magic of Beer and Chocolate

by Fred Eckhardt

The pairing of beer with chocolate seems recently to have gained a life of its own. Among other signs are reports from New York that hint this lovely combination is “the next big thing.” Actually, during the past year, our stout ice cream float made inroads in the Big Apple, according to the Wall Street...

Big Can Be Beautiful

by Roger Protz

In the 30 years I have written about beer, I have more and more come to agree with the proposition put forward by the radical economist Ernst Friedrich Schumacher that “small is beautiful.” This is the title of his seminal work of 1973 and in it he argues the case that companies worship size for...
