When I interviewed beer importer Dan Shelton for my Cantillon article, he threw out a tangent about the interesting world of Franconian beers. Franconia, a small region of Bavaria, contains one-fourth of Germany’s breweries, many of which are local pubs that produce just enough beer for the local villagers. I researched it a bit more, and today my article about the region appears in the Chronicle.
On another note, have you signed up for my Berkeley Extension wine class yet? No? Well, you’re in luck: There’s still time. Go sign up now before you forget.
