Leaning Towers of Learning: Beer & the Academy
12.03.2010
Charlie Bamforth breaks bread and finds himself shunned with his academic specialisation in brewing technology disdained by his undiscerning dinner companion. It's a shame, really: brewing research has offered much to the world at large, especially over the last hundred years. Last in series.
Fiscal froth: beer and government
01.10.2009Charlie Bamforth considers the age-old contest of the brewer versus the taxman and discovers, bizarrely, that the policy-makers of today could learn a lesson on open-mindedness from Kim Jong-Il's North Korea....
Bashing booze: the anti-alcohol lobby
01.12.2009No one condones alcohol abuse, least of all the brewing industry, nor would anyone deny that alcohol is problematic for some individuals. Yet despite the majority of consumers drinking responsibly, there are numerous interest groups intent on demonising drinking culture. UC Davis professor Charlie Bamforth surveys the neo-prohibitionist movement.
