Enough of that. There must be some news to share. Let\u2019s see. First up, how about some old beer\u2026 really old beer<\/a>:<\/p>\n A sealed bronze bottle placed in a tomb in northwestern\u00a0China\u00a0more than 2,000 years ago has yielded something archaeologists rarely encounter: not a stain or microscopic residue, but 3.74 liters of surviving liquid.<\/em><\/p>\n And upon the news of some not quite as old but still old beer, Liam<\/a> shared some fine responsive research related to the discovery of a bottle of Guinness in a 162 year old<\/a> shipwreck and word of some plans to recreate something from the contents:<\/p>\n As to the beer itself, a lot has been made in the recent news regarding the plans to harvest the yeast from the bottle in order to rebrew the beer. This would be impossible to do from just regenerating or even matching the yeast for a number of reasons, not least being that it probably contained not one yeast strain but several, including less conventional brewing yeasts such as Brettanomyces and Lactobacillus\u2026 In order to explain why the yeast is just a small, if important, factor in the beer\u2019s recipe we need to look at what exactly constituted Guinness Extra Stout in the 1860s, and luckily, we have a good and reliable second-hand source for that\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n Liam goes into some detail to show how both the ingredients and processes of the time differ greatly from those used today making a replication perhaps impossible. Gotta love a post with twelve footnotes and the trust they provide.<\/p>\n And with similar authenticity, Boak and Bailey<\/a> are fine purveyors of quality positivity and that integrity serves them well in their piece this week on how they have seen some solid professional behaviour from the staff in pubs lately:<\/p>\n We\u2019ve long said that the main thing we want from bar staff is to feel as if they\u2019re engaging with us like fellow human beings. We try not to be annoying, no doubt we fail from time to time, and no doubt customers collectively are an infuriating bunch. But people who are able to come to each interaction with the slate wiped clean, assuming the best, make for the best bar people\u2026 [W]e also get the impression that this particular barperson is adept at matching the energy of the customer: want to talk, they\u2019ll talk; want to keep it business-like, that\u2019s fine, too. This is another great skill and one that requires a significant degree of social sensitivity.<\/em><\/p>\n That\u2019s a great point. Both the high energy guy and the quiet inside joke clique can get irritating quickly. Staying with news from the tavern, there\u2019s some surprising legal news out of Germany<\/a> as youth may not be having its way any longer:<\/p>\n The German government said Wednesday it would scrap a legal provision that has allowed 14- and 15-year-olds to purchase and consume alcohol with their parents.\u00a0The government said the abolition of so-called \u201caccompanied drinking\u201d would \u201cprotect young people from the considerable health and social effects of alcohol consumption\u201d. The minimum age for drinking beer, wine and champagne is 16, rising to 18 for spirits and other harder drinks.<\/em><\/p>\n Fourteen? Just to be clear, a form of this sort of thing in the family home is also one of the little known permissive laws of Ontario* \u2013 but I don\u2019t know anyone who would exercise that right with 14 year olds. Full disclosure: I assure all that I am quite sure I fully abided by the law with the greatest care during the tender teen years in my own life. Definitely.<\/p>\n Note #1<\/a>: a desperate attempt to coat tail on yesterday\u2019s PR?<\/p>\n What else is going on? Well, out on the road\u2026 or rather the rails\u2026 Ron\u2019s maple-laced holidays in central Canada with his sons continues with reports from both Ottawa<\/a> and Montreal<\/a> published now. It\u2019s always interesting to experience your area through the eyes of another. At one of the capital\u2019s<\/a> Royal Oak pubs he found yet another disappointing IPA:<\/p>\n We kick off with onion rings and poutine. Which are pretty good. After the first round I switch to whisky. I\u2019ve had enough of hazy IPA. \u201cAll the IPAs seem to be sludgy here in Canada.\u201d I say forlornly. \u201cThat\u2019s what the kids want nowadays.\u201d Andrew replies. \u201cThey could have at least one normal IPA for oldies like me.\u201d \u201cAny excuse to switch to whisky, eh, Dad.\u201d Alexei remarks cynically. \u201cIt\u2019s their fault for an uninspiring beer selection.\u201d \u201cNot yours for being a pisshead?\u201d Alexei asks. \u201cFuck off.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n He\u2019s encountered the sludge at a number of spots. The trail of sludge, this vacation of his. Educational for we Canucks, as The Bard hissell<\/a> would have wanted.<\/p>\n Note #2<\/a>: is \u201cmid-strength\u201d some PR committee\u2019s phrase for \u201cweaker\u201d?<\/p>\n Now some politics. First, click for a \u201cno standing pub\u201d joke<\/a>.\u00a0 See, people are reacting to suggestions that \u201cstanding pubs<\/a>\u201d or \u201cvertical drinking<\/a>\u201d in London get banned. I think the phrase really means \u201cstanding around outside the pub while drinking\u201d pubs but happy to be corrected. Speaking of correction, Westminster City Council has released a myth bustin\u2019<\/a> communiqu\u00e9:<\/p>\n You may have read media reports suggesting Westminster City Council is planning to ban people from standing up in pubs, or \u2018vertical drinking\u2019. This is completely untrue. There is not, and never has been, a plan to stop people standing in pubs to have a drink. We want people to enjoy our fantastic pubs and bars, and we want them to do that safely. Our licensing consultation is asking people about the best way to ensure our venues can serve the millions of people who visit London and the West End every year.<\/em><\/p>\n Note: the word \u201cin\u201d is carrying some weight there in that press release. What about out on the pavement? The Telegraph<\/em>\u2018s daily newsletter included some responses on the issue this week including these two observations<\/a>:<\/p>\n Alan Hanna added: \u201cSome of us have spent the best hours of our lives standing outside pubs moving between groups of friends, sharing rounds, smoking and having a wonderful few hours to let off steam before going home. I am so pleased that my adult children and their wives enjoy the same. This is one of the highlights of London.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Not everyone was a fan, though. One reader countered: \u201cPavement boozing directly outside a pub is one thing but, human nature being what it is, people push the boundaries, literally and metaphorically. The anti-social aspect affects nearby residents, and why should their quality of life be considered less important?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Being dull and helpful (in addition to sludge brewers) we don\u2019t do this in Canada. I have done it myself, however, in Syracure NY in the before times when one went south for fun and freedom but it\u2019s a bit unnerving when you don\u2019t know the unwritten rules about when and where it is OK and when it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n And still more sides of the politics of beer have been discussed on both sides of the Atlantic this week. In England, real or cask ale has become associated with the right wing of the political spectrum. With a H\/T to David<\/a>**,\u00a0 Michael Deakin<\/a> of Caskapital<\/em> found an ominous note in an SNL UK skit:<\/p>\n The clip showed a dystopic future in which Nigel Farage had become Prime Minister. He sat at a desk in No.10 flanked by St. George\u2019s cross\u2019 and to his right was a hand pull beer engine, from which he helped himself to a decidedly flat looking pint of golden ale. Whilst this scene is disturbing in a number of ways, the presence of the hand pull really made me think. How often have I seen Farage portrayed like this, and when did real ale become an icon of fascism?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Err\u2026 cause fascists prefer their symbols and icons given the associated distasteful substance? And at the western end of the USA, Jeff<\/a> discussed the holding of a political event at a local bewery for a national Republical leader and Trump ally:<\/p>\n \u2026Trap Door is not some rando brewery. They are a darling of the increasingly robust Vancouver corps of breweries, and have won tons of medals, including back-to-back golds in the fresh hop IPA category at GABF. Whether this will, ahem, take the shine off the brewery long term is something we\u2019ll have to wait and see.\u00a0Many of you know my politics, which I haven\u2019t hidden. Nevertheless, I\u2019m a little uncomfortable with the idea that the mere act of hosting a political event becomes such a polarizing act for a brewery. They have become community meeting places, which is fantastic, honestly. Hosting political events is a democratic act, and I am loath to punish a brewery for it. But in this case, the owner is a political actor, and he\u2019s using his brewery to advance a political agenda.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n I don\u2019t know if I can separate the two like that. But that\u2019s me. First, I don\u2019t really care what the politics of a brewery or pub owner are\u2026 as long as they aren\u2019t any sort of authoritarian dictatorial militaristic criminal cabalist of any stripe. I am also sure I do not want to share space with any political rally that doesn\u2019t not match my personal preferences \u2013 and even then the rally, if we are being honest, really should be held someplace else. Frankly, I don\u2019t care for any sort of group meetings taking over part of a pub or restaurant or shop or, you know, parking lot in which I find myself located at any particular time. Pubs especially need to be reserved for disorganized noisy wild drunken fun or quiet less drunken yet still disorganized fun \u2013 or, sure, disorganized events falling somewhere in between. But no pamphlets. No speeches. No thanks.<\/p>\n Finally, here\u2019s an interesting development. We are told<\/a> that as of 2 August, the EU Artificial Intelligence Act<\/em> now has new provisions at Article 50<\/a> which obliges those using A.I. (to develop text and images along with other content) to disclose that activity if the context is available in Europe. Even if the author isn\u2019t in Europe. For me, that means I have to look out for readers like The Brew Nut<\/em> to make sure things stay pure. So\u2026 could cutting an pasting wicked (pittui!!!<\/em>) A.I. text in one of the paragraphs quoted above leave me at risk under the new law? Well, fortunately for me acknowledgement is something of a defence, if not an excuse, so I will be adding my note right here right now to confirm that I have no idea if the above cited sources violate EU law but offer no comfort that they don\u2019t. In fact, I don\u2019t believe any of it. Not a word. You shouldn\u2019t either. Beware! Take heed! Govern yourselves accordingly.<\/p>\n That\u2019s it for now. Another shortish week as I gained back the full array on napping spots in the house. Until next week, as I doze please check out Boak and Bailey posting on Saturday<\/a>\u00a0and adding to their fabulously entertaining footnotes week after week at\u00a0Patreon<\/a>.

<\/a>Well, it\u2019s gone quiet around here again. The Euro-branch of the clan has moved to the other end of the lake before taking the skies and heading home.

<\/a>Speaking of the holding of little meetings to get everyone on the same page, this preemptive messaging over on LinkedIn from the BA last Tuesday was pretty odd. Apparently anticipatory angst<\/a> about Wednesday\u2019s Gallup polling<\/a> on US alcohol use was expected to be so neg for the booze trade that the poll needed to be discredited before it was released! As you know, rooting for booze is a weird thing\u2026 but if that thing is your job I guess it\u2019s gotta be your thing, right? Still, for a booster organization that\u2019s seen consumption of its particular sector of booze drop almost 20% since 2019<\/a>, it\u2019s also a pretty weak stance. I mean, I have been on trade association boards, radio station boards and counselled many government and administrative bodies and I can\u2019t imagine ever recommending directly mocking obviously correct stats. Find another way in at the root cause, if you need to. Or accept the numbers and advise accordingly, perhaps. It\u2019s big boy pants time. But in the booze trade? Never.<\/p>\n
