Craft Beer Is Doing the Unthinkable: Mimicking Macro Beer, InsideHook, Courtney Iseman, June 7, 2023
Craft beer is a scrappy upstart all grown up, and more self-consciously commercial:
Now there’s craft, and there’s craft; Sierra Nevada or Lagunitas or Saranac, and then those expensive, whimsical 16-ounce four-packs. I consider myself a craft beer fan, but maybe once in my life I’ve bought one of those latter products. So I wonder if the “mass craft” landscape will remain mostly the same (IPA-heavy, particularly), while this “boutique craft” stuff will ironically become more like macro beers at the far opposite end of the spectrum. If any of this—the beer or the business—is interesting to you, read the whole thing. What Were You Doing in 1964?, Pray Tell, Katharine E. Harmon, October 2, 2020 This is an interesting blog post with even more interesting comments, trying to answer the question of what the implementation of the Vatican II liturgical reforms was really like in American Catholic parishes. Were there really nuns playing electric guitars in miniskirts and Masses where Holy Communion was reduced to pizza and beer? It’s interesting how these quasi-urban legends form even when the events in question are quite recent, all told. None of this means much to someone who didn’t live through it (and maybe to someone who isn’t Catholic). But I’ve always found it interesting. Here and here are two more pieces on this question.
I had this disc when I was a kid—one of them, there are over a dozen versions of it— and I always assumed Mavis Beacon was a real person who licensed her name to the software. That was not the case! A fun read for any child of the ’90s. Victor, Washington Post, Blaine Harden, October 12, 1978
This took place in the 1970s at Beacon Mall in southern Fairfax County. A later incarnation of that shopping center, now called Beacon Center, still sits on the site (formerly it was an airport). The stuff that went on in suburban shopping centers in the old days was wild. Read the whole thing. Related Reading: Thank you for reading!
