Redefining Craft Beer: Asian Americans Brewing Up Heritage
It’s no secret that Asian Americans have transformed the American palate over the past century. Per the National Restaurant Association, 19% of all restaurants in the U.S. are Asian-owned—the largest share among minority groups. In the past decade, this influence over food has extended far beyond Chinese takeout, Thai restaurants, and sushi bars.
In 2015, matcha madness swept the country. The following year, ube—the subtly nutty and sweet Filipino purple yam—went viral. Today, you can find gochujang-flavored potato chips (inspired by the Korean red chili paste), calamansi (Philippine lime) sparkling water, and lychee hard seltzer in grocery aisles.… Read the rest “Redefining Craft Beer: Asian Americans Brewing Up Heritage”

Mixed Drinks: The Lure of Beverage Trails
A great way to explore a new destination is through its local beverage scene, and many areas are making this experience even easier with the creation of beverage trails. While there are plenty of designated beer trails out there, those that highlight a mix of businesses—such as breweries, wineries, distilleries, cideries, and mead makers—can provide a unique and eye-opening experience.
Beverage trails benefit these local businesses with increased exposure and marketing opportunities, encouraging co-marketing and collaboration. For customers, having a trail that offers a variety of beverages allows for groups with different favorites to spend time together, with the bonus of introducing people to something they otherwise would not have tried.… Read the rest “Mixed Drinks: The Lure of Beverage Trails”
Highwayman Saison
Three days in advance, I made a yeast starter with one packet of yeast and one can of Propper Starter, diluted with one can of water. The starter propagated at room temperature. Fermentation was warmer than normal: I ran the yeast starter at about 68°F (20°C), then chilled the wort to 78°F (26°C) before adding the yeast. Fermentation started at room temperature of 68°F (20°C), then I ramped it up to 72°F (22°C) for two days, then up to 75°F (24°C) for two days, then up to 78°F (26°C) to finish it off.… Read the rest “Highwayman Saison”
Beer in a Cocktail Town: How Craft Breweries Have Enriched NOLA
Consider the jewels of the New Orleans crown: the Sazerac, the Ramos Gin Fizz, the Pimm’s Cup, and the Hurricane. They are a testimony to the city’s position as a top drinks destination. Ingredients such as Peychaud’s Bitters altered cocktail culture forever, and bartenders around the globe have long looked to New Orleans for inspiration. The major beverage alcohol category noticeably absent from the city’s resume, though? Craft beer. Until relatively recently, that is.
For a town visited by millions of thirsty imbibers each year, it may seem surprising that New Orleans’s craft brewery scene is both young and small.… Read the rest “Beer in a Cocktail Town: How Craft Breweries Have Enriched NOLA”
