Tapping into Culture
A bi-weekly video series on Beer and Culture presented by:
We believe Beer is Culture. That’s bold, sure, but hear us out.
Societies as we know them formed some 10,000 years ago, as agriculture replaced hunting and gathering. The creation of crude fermented beverages from grain, many historians argue, was one key reason for the abandonment of the nomadic lifestyle. So without beer we’d still be chasing the herds…
Beer is a living thing, comprised of live cultures of microorganisms that create its many unique flavors. These living beers have long been downed at pubs, the classic meeting place outside the home — a nexus for anything from politics to music to arts.
These living beers have served as a force for bringing people together around the world, whether it’s a casual Monday hang, late-night professional gathering, or engine to power a social mission. Surely it’s not too bold to say that your mind can be stimulated by the right beverage, at the right time, is it?
Mike's Hot Honey Founder, Mike Kurtz, decided to take a leap and start his own hot honey business while talking to friends over a few pints of Bengali IPA.
Sixpoint Designer, Jack Liakas, uses the liquid so close to him (Resin IPA) for inspiration in all his designs. Beer imitating art imitating life.
