What is organic beer?

I thought it would be worthwhile to revisit some of the pivotal moments and precocious pioneers in the history of beer during these uncertain and frustrating times. Some of this content is older (if so, that’s noted at the end); some of it is newer, including from my forthcoming book PILSNER: How the Beer of Kings Changed the World . All of it, I hope, you will find interesting. Stay safe.

Quotes by Tom Acitelli (?)

“There are those who think that a beer should be relatively high in alcohol. This is not reasonable, after all, why do you drink beer? If all you want is inebriation, drink hard liquor. Beer is a convivial beverage between friends, to be drunk for its own sake, as a friendly thing, not a drunking thing. Five to six percent is plenty of alcohol, your friends won’t laugh if your beer clobbers them.”
― Tom Acitelli, The Audacity of Hops: The History of America's Craft Beer Revolution

“Two things were inarguable. There was too much beer, a lot of it of dubious quality, and too many breweries, brewpubs and contract brewers, the latter dominated by entities that might not have been in the movement for craftsmanship.”
