Link Round Up
I’ve collected a few worthwhile (though at this point slightly dated) links to share:
- The Moonshine Stimulus Package: One of my very favorite podcasts, Planet Money, did a piece on Prohibition to explain inelastic goods. Even if you’re not into economics, it’s a wonderful short piece about former president Franklin D. Roosevelt, moonshine, and how beer was done in by prohibition. Among other things.
- To Enhance Flavor, Just Add Water: The New York Times has a really lovely piece on adding water to spirits and wine to enhance their flavor. I’ve had some great watered wine, and everybody loves a good sangria at this time of year.
- Sampling American Pale Ales: I can’t believe I missed this in June (or that I’m linking to two pieces in the New York Times in one post), but they have a great write up of their annual pale ale tastings. Although numbered lists are basically editorial nonsense to drive page views, the top spot this year did go to Flying Dog’s Doggie Style. Yes, I’m linking because I love the beer, the name, and the brewery. Flying Dog is well on its way to being my favorite brewery of 2010, and Doggie Style is an absolute must-drink pale ale for summer.
If you’ve got any links to share, please leave them in the comments!
