In the two countries that gave us Anheuser Busch In-Bev, one finds a fascinating array of artisanal beers produced with great craftsmanship. I also want to reflect on how we evaluate beer. How do we know what is good and ...

The Almost Nuclear War: Lessons from the Cuban Missile Crisis
Pigweed, a type of Amaranth that grows wild like weeds could be used for this... I think, but have not tried it.
I have some chicha in my Titicaca
My tongue doesn’t understand brewing with coriander
Final one :(
Fax brother! Spit your shit indeed!
Baited into alcoholism.
Nice bait. I really thought it was one of those funni skits about teehee alcoholism funni. I'm pleasantly educated.
So real, speak your shit indeed fr fr on gawd

8:24 Yes, and that led to the birth of NASCAR. Powerful cars with stiff suspensions to hold a lot of weight (cases of moonshine) and fast enough to get away from the revenuers (IRS). They also had to be reliable because if you got caught, you’d be going to jail. And the suspensions had to handle dirt roads. 74% of roads in the US were still unpaved. And lastly, they had to look like ordinary cars, but they were far from ordinary. Naturally, after doing the moonshine runs for the day, they would race each other to see who built the faster car. The result was NASCAR.
Prohibition didn't work in California. In San Francisco restaurants just had back rooms where liquor was served. The San Francisco police didn't care. Some wineries stayed in business selling "sacramental" wine. ⚖️👎
Prohibition. I don't drink. But what a stupid idea. The unintended consequences were enormous and disastrous ended the freedom to make up our minds how to behave.
OHH YEAH!
It's the same lesson we refused to learn with our drug laws. If people wanted to use substances, they will. No matter what the government wants or what a religious minority wants.
Actually with respect to cannabis, the public is protesting federal Prohibition: At least 38 states have legalized at least medical marijuana. 🍃
Informative, interesting, well presented; great video.
Thanks for the comment.
Would have been interested in how Brewing under licence is done & it's market share Vs actually exported. And for a regular Licence brewed Lager, are all the ingredients locally sourced, or do they ship something, like spices? Yeast? I suppose they have no process for making a syrup like e.g. Coca-Cola? In Sweden my guess is that perhaps 90% of foreign beers is Licence brewed. And that the imported beers usually are types that does not taste like everything else, like Guinness or Corona? (@ each end of the spectrum.) E.g.Löwenbräu is in Sweden brewed by Spendrups. Nothing wrong with it. But it is nothing like the Löwenbräu in glass bottle i bought from a vending machine in (München? Ingolstadt?), which is the best lager i have ever tasted.... (The Germans have beer bottle vending machines in lots of places, incl. in the factory halls. On the Audi factory in Ingolstadt, they also have wall-mounted beer openers and & a beer bottle holder on every machine. They would perhaps buy a beer per shift, or something like that. I guess they can do that, cuz they can handle it.... It was a fabulous, super-clean, super well maintained factory...)
Thanks for the comment. I enjoyed reading it. In fact, it made me think of something from about 15 years ago in the United States. I distinctly remember when Anheuser-Busch bought Becks and started brewing the German brand's all-malt recipe in St. Louis or wherever it was. American beer drinkers immediately noticed the difference. Was it the water? Was it the grain? It just didn't taste liked an imported Becks. Anheuser-Busch insisted that it was the same German recipe, but something made it different when brewing in the United States. I think water chemistry and brewing conditions (weather, fermentation vessels, etc.) may account for some of the differences between Löwenbräu in Sweden and in Germany. As for beer vending machines, they have no future in the USA. The trajectory here has only been to make beer more restricted since the 1980s. We've got a puritanical element here. I still get asked for identification when buying beer from a grocery store despite my gray hair.
Love american light lagers! Prost
Beer for the people!

I like the story of the Striped Pig😂
Absolutely fascinating. Thank you.
I just stumbled upon your channel and I would like to say how much I enjoyed your presentation. There's great use of some wonderful source material and I have certainly learned a few new things. I had no idea James Watt invented the Hydrometer! My late Father worked in a Brewery for a short period and used to make "Home Brew". Particularly a dark "Heavy". A dark beer popular in Scotland. You probably know that the Bass "Red Triangle" is the first "Registered Trade Mark" in The UK. Many thanks from your now teetotal viewer in Glasgow, Scotland.
I work at OSU go beavs! I also studied history and homebrew, so naturally I think the history of beer is fascinating. Great stuff!
Thanks for the comment. Go beavs!
Awesome man, absolutely love it. Thank you for uploading and sharing your knowledge 🍻
i’m not at school but i’m still learning lots
Thanks for the comment.
Are you saying sill or still?
Still, but not pronouncing it clearly
Interesting tidbit that an excise tax on beer helped fund the civil war
Well done, nice work
Thanks. I appreciate the comment.
Hell yeah dawg thanks for putting this out there! Fascinating to learn about the history of American brewing post prohibition
I'm binging Beer Stories....3rd video in row. Great stuff. I'm not even a huge beer guy, but I am a history guy. O God I really AM 35 years old....
Thanks for the comment! I'll tell a secret. I don't like beer as much as I like world history.
Wait is this the baseball professor. if so what other chanels you got
The channel began it's life as "world history stories" after I created an hourlong video about the Cuban Missile Crisis. Then I started teaching the history of beer and brewing at Oregon State. Here we are. Thanks for watching the "baseball professor"!
An excellent video. Would you agree that the development of American Lager Beer is the likely result of American Industrialization?
The two things are connected,, but Americans had been experimenting with adjunct grains since colonial times. So you've got brewers willing to experiment with barley malt different from what was in Europe. After the Civil War urban markets got in the North, brewing professionalized, and consumers showed their preference for clear and light beer. Take all of that plus chemists calling for the use of rice and corn to stabilize the protein and enzyme content of six row barley.
@@HopsandHistory And the market for the best barley and hops grew accordingly, resulting in higher prices for those grains. And lesser quality led to the birth of 'cheap' beer. I drank Rolling Rock, which used corn and rice according to the bottle cap. It did make for a sweeter drink.
They invaded as much as migrated, well they just invaded, like Europeans have in the Americas.
Is there any record of when the malting process was first understood by Europeans? I would imagine that it probably happened by accident, with some farmer roasting barley to arrest the grain's beginning to germinate, after having become wet.
What I can say is that ancient people in Sumeria and Egypt understood the malting process. They didn't have scientific language to describe it, but they understood the mechanics of soaking grains so they sprouted and stopping that process with heat. When I think about European malting, the English were the first maltsters to use coke instead of firewood as the heat source for drying the malt. That was a big advance since firewood imparted undesirable smells to the malt. Those advances are well-documented.
