Hey someone had to say it. Zymurgy had a great issue about doing beer with Thanksgiving but obviously the only people who read that were people who were obviously going to be drinking beer with their dinner. I hope someone read that and passed up a bottle of wine and grabbed a 6 pack of something delicious. Great Response! Hey someone had to say it.

I believe that wine and food is very popular, for many reasons, but the biggest reason may be that the wine industry has been able to connect the land-to the grapes-to the glass, coupled with most wineries growing their own grapes has romanticized wine. As you know most breweries have made thier home in the city and most of them are in industilized areas, it seems that they have left behind the connection of the land. For once, I would like to see a brewery that would include the "concept" of the land, maybe grow hops or barley or both. Someone needs to remind people that craft beer comes from the land! Anyway, keep up the good work! Cheers, Marcus I completely agree with you about the lack of beer and food pairings.

But don't forget: beer's a better value than wine, too, and you can much more easily afford to have four different beers with Thanksgiving (to pair with different parts of the meal and to suit different tastes) than you can four different wines. Often smaller bottles, too (although a nice sixtel of draft bock would be good...). Nice blog, thanks for the link! Good of you to speak up for beer!
