Beer is a Drinkaway
Intersecting with beer are the people and places that define our communities. The drinking and eating traditions we enjoy and pass on to the next generation. Our agriculture, labor practices, hospitality, and academic pursuits that work to keep the drink relevant and its humble ingredients alive against the odds of climate change, economic booms and busts, human rights issues, political winds, and a never-ending tension between honing a craft and shaking things up.
Beer is a tool of civilizations, empires, and uprisings. It is always and forever with us.
