nowhere to go but up

the dreaded craft beer bubble. there is perhaps no greater bogeyman in the world of craft brewing, and no greater straw man in debates over its future. derided early on as a fluke, a blip, a passing trend, craft brewers slowly, purposefully propelled themselves forward, even if they didn’t always know where they were going.

9 steps to beerdom

when david morgan first got into the craft business, it was as a retailer, and beer evangelism was a heavy lift. now, more than 15 years later, morgan is at the production end of the business, and the wind is at his back. singlespeed brewing, the cedar falls, iowa, nanobrewery morgan founded in 2012, is on the brink of a major expansion, as singlespeed exits its nano-sized beta version for a state of-the-art brewhouse opening late this year.

The Jailhouse

Doing a stint behind bars in Buena Vista, Colo., probably wasn’t much fun in 1880 when the tiny town was just forming as a stopover for miners bound for the hills. Serving time in that same building today, however, means something totally different. In July 2016, Colorado beer-industry pro-Sarah Haughey opened The Jailhouse Craft Beer Bar in the squat, 850-square-foot building that briefly served as the town jail 137 years ago.

There’s a street for selling just about every kind of product or service in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi. On Hang Bac, you’ll find silver jewelry, while Hang Duong is for desserts. There’s also coffin street, noodle street, and beer street. That last one isn’t surprising: Vietnam’s largest brewery, Sabeco, estimates that the country’s 90 million citizens will drink more than 4 billion liters (about 34.2 million barrels) of beer in 2017.

An Uncanny Invention for Home Canning

What a difference a year makes. Last May, I wrote about getting a chance to can a beautiful home brew via a mobile canner operating in LA (issue #112). There’s something supremely satisfying about cracking open a can of your own. But let’s face it, there’s no way you or I could do this at home—or can we?

In Miami, where local beer is now as ubiquitous as cigars, The Tank Brewing Company celebrates both. In its intimate cigar lounge, patrons can be found puffing a hand-rolled stogie while savoring Frank the Tank, a 10 percent Imperial Stout served in a tulip glass sporting the brewery’s catchphrase, “Sip & Discuss.”
