2021-04-221h 01Bean to BarstoolEpisode 16: Cultural Beer Language with Dr. J.Every aroma or flavor we identify in beer or chocolate or some other food or drink is something we learned at some point, and that personal vocabulary is based upon where we grew up, our cultural background, and a host of other influences.

In this episode I talk with Dr. J Nikol Jackson-Beckham about where cultural biases are found in beer language and how we can learn to use descriptive sensory language to welcome...

Good Beer HuntingThe Time Is NowIt’s no exaggeration to say that the arrival of COVID-19 has completely upended the beer industry. Breweries large and small have had to radically change their approach in order to survive the pandemic. But these changes prompted a major question: why have beer businesses been so willing to overhaul the way things have always been when faced with economic issues, but so reluctant to address long-standing social issues within the industry, like its lack of inclusion and equity? These imbalances came into sharper focus once the recent Black Lives Matter protests, sparked by the death of Ge...

GBH CollectiveCL-037 Dr. J. Nikol Jackson-Beckham Pulls the ThreadWelcome to the Good Beer Hunting Collective podcast, the show where members of our team interview each other to get a behind-the-scenes look at some of our favorite articles. I’m Ashley Rodriguez, and I produce Good Beer Hunting's podcast. If you’re part of the beer world, you’ve probably heard folklore about our Founding Fathers—the men who signed the Constitution, the first American presidents—brewing their own beer. That’s an appealing story, a fun tidbit you might tell a friend when they ask you about your own brewing adventures. And yet, how critical...

Good Beer HuntingCL-037 J. Nikol Jackson-Beckham Pulls the ThreadIf you’re part of the beer world, you’ve probably heard folklore about our Founding Fathers—the men who signed the Constitution, the first American presidents—brewing their own beer. That’s an appealing story, a fun tidbit you might tell a friend when they ask you about your own brewing adventures. And yet, how critically have we regarded this story? Think about the timeframe folks like George Washington or Thomas Jefferson were operating in. Both men, the first and third presidents of the United States, respectively, were slaveholders. And it’s much more likely—guaranteed, even—that their...
