No worth without principle
Louisville’s annual Brew at the Zoo (BATZ) has come and gone, and while by most accounts it was bigger than ever in 2013, fair-minded observers can (and will) differ as to whether it was “better” this time around. So it goes, and I can’t offer a valid opinion, seeing as my weekend was spent in Lafayette, Indiana. NABC participated in the 2nd annual, Indiana-craft-only Beers Across the Wabash festival, and a wonderful time was had by all.
At this juncture some might ask, and plausibly: But Roger, you always claim to be a localist, and Lafayette is three hours away – so exactly how is that local?
There are different answers for that sort of question, some serious and others more light-hearted, as in “local is anywhere I happen to be drinking.”
New Albany is a state of mind … but whose? Since 2004, we’ve been observing the contemporary scene in this slowly awakening old river town. If it’s true that a pre-digital stopped clock is right twice a day, when will New Albany learn to tell time?

At LouisvilleBeer.com: "No worth without principle."
My first of two September columns is up at LouisvilleBeer.com, and it's an explanation of festival strategy in a context of principle. Not a single Beer Advocate review was harmed in writing this piece. My columns at LouisvilleBeer.com appear monthly, on the 1st and 15th.
