THERE’S A LOT OF TALK these days about America’s greatness and whether that quality solely existed in our collective past, or if it persists in the present, or whether it needs to be made so once more.
The fact is, we have hallowed halls that are testaments to the people who have achieved greatness. These buildings are living tributes, always inducting more heroes from whatever field they’ve excelled at. Some of those fields are actual fields while others are parks, arenas or stadiums. And lovers of these fields and their respective champions that we are, we have a proclivity for visiting them to gaze upon their superheroic costumes and tools of their trades. Herein are a few of these galleries of greatness, these pantheons of perfection, these halls of fame.
Interestingly, there were plans to erect a bona fide Craft Beer Hall of Fame in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The inaugural class of inductees would’ve included some of the most vaunted members of the industry: scribe Michael Jackson, pioneering micro brewer Jack McAuliffe, homebrew champion Charlie Papazian and Belgian blending wizard Frank Boon. While plans have stalled and may never come to fruition, we beer lovers have various other interests and find ourselves visiting halls of fame for pastimes such as baseball, hockey, rock ’n’ roll, and even ones you likely didn’t know existed, like bowling.
