Is Chronicling America working any other people lately? I can't get a single newspaper image to load.

Do any of the professors or journalists or teachers also get their jobs back or nah

Last week a paper came out, showing that chimpanzees daily consume significant amounts of alcohol. A thread where I walk through why the paper matters, then the paper itself.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Better Know a Beer Cap #73: Warsteiner Oktoberfest So far as I know, none of Munich's big six Oktoberfest brewers use a dedicated cap for (at least in the export market), so here's one that I'm sure *only* uses their Oktoberfest cap in the export market, since they'd probably be sued in Germany.

O zapft is! Oktoberfest begins today in Munich! It's okay, I'm not there either. (Löwenbräu, 1934)

Don’t you dare call us fascists, they say, as they force people off the airwaves for criticizing them while vowing to crush and criminalize their opposition.

Yes, Charlie Kirk called for Joe Biden’s execution. But he called for it in the right way.

I'm gonna need to know which side of the line Chicago's on.

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

Mr. Klein, there's a letter for you here from the *squints*... Birmingham Jail?

This video was posted on the Brewery History FB page. When they say that the 'liquor' is mixed with the crushed malt, they mean water. Maize is added to crushed malt, providing extra starches in the mash tun. Really good details on the mashing in process. #ale #beer www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHDE...

Where?

Rolling Rock sign along the highway in Gary, Indiana, 1969. I could have zoomed in, but the background context here really adds something. Via University of Illinois-Chicago.

This sounds delightfully macabre(w).

I will be watching this.

A body of work that works the body. I've heard a few big name beer writers talk about the need to be more professionally distant, critical, and earnest about our subject (even when celebrating it!), but Dave practices that way more than most. Let us all take a cue.

Happening now: it's a tense scene at the Broadview ICE processing facility outside Chicago this morning where a large protest is planned. ICE operations continue to ramp up across the city and burbs. Ten Chicago SRT agents out here with pepper ball dispensers, one long gun.

Happy hop harvest season! Ranging from full-fledged farms to small-scale plots, a number of breweries around the country (and Canada, too) grow their own hops. In this piece for @vinepair.com, I recommend six places where you can toast under the trellises this month. vinepair.com/articles/bre...

NEW: With a key drinking study reportedly kiboshed by the Dept. of Health & Human Services, Fingers asked 8 major alcohol trade groups whether such political interference in public-health research violated with their stated demands for a process "transparent and free of bias."

Just for fun, I'm going to give you some clips of the hate mail I got from being placed on Kirk's TPUSA Dangerous Professor list. Buckle up:

It seems quite notable that these institutions and leaders are praising him for his speaking and activism and none of them are mentioning what he said or what he was working for.

🍻 History & Hops: Heurich Revival Edition is ONE WEEK AWAY on Thursday, September 18th from 6–8pm! Step back into DC’s brewing past and raise a glass to the revival of three historic Chr. Heurich Brewing Co. beers! ✨

Take it from some who teaches about drone strikes, “I shed no tear for that guy” and “this is bad, it shouldn’t have happened” can be normal reactions to have simultaneously. Opposition to political violence isn’t about personal sympathy for an individual target per se, it’s about society.

Chuckanut isn't re-opening its original Bellingham brewery, but it's moved that OG brewing system to its Burlington facility and fired it up again. And that's pretty dang cool. washingtonbeerblog.com/chuckanut-br... via @beerblog.bsky.social

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph: link.newyorker.com/view/5bda429...

The National Museum of African American History and Culture is FILLED with stories of good actions, even in the sections devoted to slavery and racism. Guess he didn't notice because it was Black Americans doing most of them.

Better Know a Beer Cap #70: Samuel Adams Octoberfest's most recent (and last?) design. Part of Sam Adams' late-2010s move toward shield designs on their caps, which I didn't care for. But it didn't last, Sam Adams has since switched to a universal cap design, which I'll post another time.

Lemme speak with directness and a sense of urgency about our most important economic threats, and what history teaches us about moments like this.

People from all over are showing up for DC. This is not a moment. It’s a movement. We are united in our demands. We are all DC! #FreeDC

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.
