Martyn emphasized that history’s value lies not in getting facts straight, or at least not only in that. Does it really matter that Brits were already sending oceans of strong, hoppy porter to India when IPAs finally came along? Who really cares if it was this beer or that beer that came first? Martyn showed us why the details matter.

As a writer, I am alarmed by any system that anonymizes my work, appropriates it without payment (I believe attorneys refer to this as “stealing anything that is not nailed down”), and spits out a less nuanced, more inaccurate, and more boringly-written version of it. If people are no longer visiting this site for information, what’s my incentive to write it? Why would I agree be the unpaid intern for a voraciously greedy software company that is busily working to put me out of business?

Welcome to another issue of “Tariff Talk” here on the Beeronomics blog. How’s your legalese? “The court holds for the foregoing reasons that IEEPA does not authorize any of the Worldwide, Retaliatory, or Trafficking Tariff Orders. The Worldwide and Retaliatory Tariff Orders exceed any authority granted to the President by IEEPA to regulate importation by means of tariffs. The Trafficking Tariffs fail because they do not deal with the threats set forth in those orders.

Before all this IPA business, Americans hadn’t done a lot to contribute to the world’s canon of beers. One notable exception, however, is a frontier-era invention—a lager improvised to ferment along the ice-free parts of the West Coast. Steam beer isn’t the only minor style that Americans improvised—cream ale, brilliant ale, Pennsylvania swankey, Kentucky common, and others all had their moments. Most of those didn’t survive Prohibition, if they made it that far.

Note: I founded Celebrate Oregon Beer and serve as its part-time Executive Director. A component of our mission involves promoting travel to the state, and we hope to work with Travel Oregon and its regional and local DMOs to sing Oregon’s praises. The other part of my work is writing about the beer industry, and today they crash into each other; this post is in part an effort at transparency.

Responding to a recent overproduction of hops, U.S. growers scaled back the acres they cultivated in 2024 in dramatic fashion. Here’s a summary of how that affected the states and individual varieties—with graphs and tables. https://t.co/J311M6Dh9S
Opening the bidding here… “I just don’t see non-alc becoming much of a market. If it ever reaches 5% of the beer market, I will be shocked. I predict it tops out at 2%.”
2024 was a year of mixed signals and confusing trends. In this year-end post, I review the major themes, positive, negative, and just weird. And then I finish with a flourish of almost certainly bad predictions! https://t.co/MsS3ZyfK5m
