Flier for a Silent Book Club event titled "Beer in ancient Mesopotamia"
Image showing the book cover for In the Land of Ninkasi: A History of Beer in Ancient Mesopotamia by Tate Paulette and listing two recent book awards
I'll be hosting a Silent Book Club event this Thursday, Feb 5, 6–8pm at The Bike Library cafe in downtown Raleigh, NC. I'll talk a little about my book and will bring along a selection of other books about ancient Mesopotamia, beer, and archaeology for browsing. Hope to see you there!
The quality of beer and brewing history has certainly improved. It's become perceived as a serious subject - at last.
Today, 2.00 UK time, in person and online: www.imperial.ac.uk/events/19867...
We would like to welcome Dr Pam Lock @pamplemoussepam.bsky.social to the editorial board of 'Brewery History'.
Foersters Feine Biere, Berlin
It was Foersters Feine Biere's last day of business yesterday. Packed 5 mins after opening. Very sad to see it close.

Quite an evening ...
Promotional image for my upcoming course with the Newberry Library in Chicago: "The 30-Year Journey of Chicago's Lager Beer Riot." Image depicts a little girl holding two foaming mugs of beer, over a beer barrel (obviously shopped). Image also includes details of the course: will take place virtually Tuesdays from April 7 through April 28th, 2026, from 2-3:30 PM, for a total of 4 sessions. Hope to see you there!
Pls help me spread the word!
Registration is open for my virtual course on Chicago's Lager Beer Riot of 1855.
Learn how German Chicagoans brought European food riot traditions to the US, and how a few minutes of brawling shaped decades of Chicago beer & politics.

Such a pleasure to be back ...
Thanks Ron. Martyn was going to send me more material cut from the book. I'm not sure how accessible it is. Yes, Dave is fully behind the project.
Yes, it will. Any suggestions Ron?
We would like to thank his brother, Dave Cornell, for his help with this project.
Content will include articles that have appeared in the journal over the past 40 plus years and posts from his Zythophile blog. Please let us know, via Bluesky, if there are any specific blog posts that you would like to see in print.
We are very pleased to announce that 'Brewery History' will be publishing a special issue later this year containing a selection of Martyn Cornell’s work.
We would like to welcome Dr Christina Wade @braciatrix.bsky.social on to the editorial board of Brewery History.
Pabst Blue Ribbon!
Sadly Two Birds Brewing closed a couple of years ago.
Martyn Cornell and Matt Curtis in Copenhagen
Just going through some old photos and found this of Martyn Cornell and @totalcurtis.bsky.social on a trip to Copenhagen, August 2017.
Some interesting references to beer and brewing in this free to access book, The Experience of Work in Early Modern England by @markhailwood.bsky.social et al www.cambridge.org/core/books/e...
And reviews have been written by @thebeerfather.bsky.social @stanhieronymus.bsky.social and the sadly missed @thezythophile.bsky.social View the journal's archive here: bit.ly/3MCF2Z9
Just a quick reminder that all book reviews published in Brewery History are free to access immediately. Recent works to appear in the journal include those authored by @akrennmair.bsky.social @eoghanwalshbxl.bsky.social and @brunsma.bsky.social
Access for free articles on St Austell brewery; Armenian brewing in 18th century Poland; the Albion Brewery, San Francisco; Märzen and Oktoberfest beers; & the lagering cellars of the Kauffman Brewery, Cincinnati. bit.ly/48No9SU
Due to a number of factors Brewery History is unfortunately behind schedule. However, we intend to rectify this by publishing several issues over the next few months. Simultaneously, we will also be making older issues free to access. The latest can be found here: bit.ly/48No9SU
A bar described in the book Blue Highways.
Lots of interesting sketches of American bars c.1980 in the travelogue Blue Highways by William Least Heat Moon [William Trogdon].

The Brewery History Society visited the brewery in April and we tried 2 versions, one aged in whiskey casks.

An unexpected find in Brussels.
A page from the Brewers' Journal showing 'A British Pub for Berlin Exhibition'.
Following on from @boakandbailey.bsky.social post some years ago about The Britannia, Brussels, 1958 here's a pub proposed for the Berlin Exhibition of 1966. But was it actually built?
