The summer 2019 issue of Food & Dining Magazine has arrived.

The new issue of Food & Dining Magazine is available for viewing online and currently is being delivered to hotels and racks. The quarterly magazine is entirely supported by advertising and arrives completely free to readers. Links are provided below.

My contribution is a survey of craft beer in 2019.

Craft Beer Nation wins because people like craft beer, but when we swipe our debit card for a case of Founders Solid Gold it’s just the final transaction of many required to take beer from origins in water, malt, hops and yeast to our waiting lips.

Another article of great interest to me is Susan Reigler's profile of Chad and Lauren Coulter, originators of the LouVino wine bar. Amid the never ending uncertainty surrounding New Albany's River City Winery, I look at the space and its adjoining former Preston Arts building and see LouVino (or something similar) written all over it.

Happy reading. When you patronize one of the magazine's advertisers, tell them you saw their advertisement in Food & Dining.
