Gorgeous condo in the 1900 American Brewery building in Jamaica Plain, MA. It has 1bd, 1.5ba, $739K + $676mo. HOA includes gym, common outdoor space w/grills, deeded underground parking spot, & basement storage unit. (Meh. Should at least have a pool for that amt.)

Cute little brick foyer, then steps down to the unit.

The unit is beautifully decorated, but it does have its own beautiful architectural features w/o the furnishings. The windows, the wainscoting, high ceilings & moldings are stunning.

This is a corner unit, so the ladder has to be going up to the steeple in the front of the building.

This is all they show of it, unless this is all there is. It does look like there are at least 2 chairs up here. It's a wonderful feature, nevertheless.

This ladder rolls clear across the wall for access to the storage cubbies above.

The kitchen cabinets are beautiful wood.

It looks like they had to cover some windows, and most of the brick wall, to build the kitchen.

Fascinating sink in the 1/2 bath.

The bedroom is lovely and it has that beautiful wainscoting, also.

The full bath has a beautiful matching vanity.

So, this is the common area that's included in the exorbitant monthly HOA. Umm, is this a private area? It looks like anyone can walk in.

It's time for the next sneak peek!

We have many locations on site. There is plenty of opportunity to plot and visit various places in the Miami area. Just so you know, the location of some neighbourhoods has shifted from real-life Miami to suit the site's needs.

Brickell is the financial hub of the city, boasting gleaming skyscrapers and luxurious waterfront condos overlooking Biscayne Bay. It's a haven for professionals with rooftop bars, upscale dining options, and the trendy Brickell City Centre for art and shopping. Don't forget the picturesque Brickell Avenue Bridge, offering stunning waterfront vistas, and nearby Miami Circle, an intriguing archaeological site, add to its allure.

Coconut Grove, a chic neighbourhood by Biscayne Bay, features lush greenery, trendy cafes, and CocoWalk mall. Highlights include Barnacle Historic State Park and the lavish Vizcaya Museum and Gardens. Sailing clubs and marinas line the waterfront for maritime enthusiasts.

Downtown Miami pulses with activity, offering shops and entertainment galore. By day, explore malls and stores; by night, catch a Miami Heat game or a concert at the American Airlines Arena. However, be cautious; with a higher crime rate than the national average, especially for violent crimes, it's best to stick to daytime outings. Keep an eye out for homelessness and panhandling, and stay vigilant against potential theft, even on public transit." Little Havana embodies Miami's Latin spirit, brimming with lively art, cuisine, and culture. Explore galleries, sip strong coffee, and enjoy political debates at Domino Park. Tower Theater offers indie and classic films, while vibrant nightlife features live Latin music for a truly immersive experience. Between Wynwood and downtown Miami lies Liberty Square, Miami's toughest neighbourhood, established with the Liberty Square Housing Project in the late 1930s. Model City, with a population of around 25,023, earns notoriety as the hotspot for violent crime, especially in the drug scene, leading to gun violence and break-ins. Despite increased police efforts, it remains sketchy, particularly after dark. South Beach is Miami's top destination, renowned for its beautiful beaches and vibrant nightlife. Lincoln Road Mall offers diverse shopping, while Ocean Drive showcases stunning Art Deco architecture and alfresco dining. Explore the cultural side at the Wolfsonian-FIU museum for a taste of Miami's unique charm. It's more than just beaches; it's an unforgettable experience! Surfside, a coastal gem, offers a cozy residential community with tall condo buildings lining Surfside Beach, providing stunning oceanfront views. Surrounded by vibrant neighbourhoods like North Beach and Bal Harbour, it's part of the larger Miami metropolitan area, offering the perfect blend of beach and city life in one package.

Let's talk Wynwood, a vibrant hotspot bursting with colour and creativity. Wynwood Walls showcase stunning street art, while converted warehouses host craft breweries and galleries. It's a hub for the young and hip, with boutiques, bistros, and bars. Though property crime exists, it's part of the lively atmosphere. From lower to middle-class homes, Wynwood embraces diversity and creative energy.

im gonna be real with you i do NOT know what vegemite is what is that

On a literal level, it's yeast extract.

Remember how I said Aussies love beer? In order to make beer you need yeast. It's a whole bloody process, but the gist is that when you're done brewing the beer, you get a bunch of leftover yeast. This is normally completely useless, but in 1902 a German bloke named Justus von Liebig came up with the bright idea of "Wait, instead of wasting the yeast, why don't we just eat it?"

"That's a stupid idea because it tastes terrible and no one would eat it," everyone said, but von Liebig wouldn't be deterred! So he slapped some spices in there for flavouring and bam, edible yet still disgusting yeast extract.

The poms liked this idea and as poms are wont to do, they stole it. Branded it Marmite, and shipped it out to Commonwealth countries around the world.

That worked out all fine and dandy until WWI hit and the poms suddenly found themselves in desperate need to conserve this wonderful (ech) source of Vitamin B. They saved it for the troops only. Most of the breweries were shut down in the war and converted into munitions productions and depots, so for a time Marmite was merely a ghost of the past for civilians.

Until the Aussies came along.

"Oi!" some bloke said to some other bloke, "It's been a year since the war ended. Where's our fuckin' Marmite?" But alas, his longing went unanswered.

So he said fuck all that noise and decided "Well, fuck the poms, we'll make the shit ourselves!"

So they did. Fred Walker, (a M*lburnian, ech) decided to hire a bloke called Cyril Callister to figure out how the fuck the poms made Marmite, and instead make something even better.

And, as Aussies love our beer, he turned to Calton & United Brewery, who happens to be the brewery WHAT MAKES VICTORIA BITTER. (It's a conspiracy, do you understand?) They also make Foster's, but we don't discuss fucking FOSTER'S on this blog.

So he took yeast extract, mixed it with TOO MUCH FUCKING SALT, added some celery and onion extract, and bam: breakfast tar! Then he gave his daughter--WHO WAS NAMED SHEILAH--the job of naming the new, better Marmite. And she went "Well, there's veggies in there, innit?" And he just nodded. "Call it vegemite."

AND SO VEGEMITE WAS BORN.

It hit the market in 1923, immediately failed, and in 1928 went under a rebrand of "Parwill" ("Because if Marmite [ma might] then Parwill [pa will]) and this didn't last long--it was changed back to Vegemite in 1935.

In 1925 Fred Walker helped found Kraft, an American company (Kraft cheese, anyone?) So Walker used Kraft's newfound success to promote Vegemite. This... actually worked, surprisingly. In 1939 the British Medical Association officially backed Vegemite as a great source of Vitamin B, and when WWII hit, it was included in civilian rations across the country. By the late 1940s, Vegemite was found in 9/10 Australian homes.

And it stuck. Its billionth jar was sold in 2008, and in 1984 it was the first-ever product to be electronically scanned in an Australian checkout.

We're all happy little Vegemites!

Is it possible for a homebrewer to earn money selling beer?

With the advent of craft beer culture, more individuals are taking up home brewing as a pastime. However, some wonder, "Can I earn money selling my homebrewed beer?"

The quick answer is that you can make money selling your homebrew beer. However, before venturing into commercial brewing, various issues must be addressed.

To begin, it is essential to understand the legal criteria for selling alcohol. In the United States, for example, each state has its rules governing the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages. Homebrewers who intend to market homemade beer may need a license, ranging from necessary permission to a full-fledged brewery license. Researching the rules in your location is critical before trying to sell homemade beer.

Following that, analyzing the costs of commercial brewing is essential. While home brewing may be a low-cost pastime, expanding to a retail level requires substantial expenditure. This entails investing in more extensive equipment, renting or acquiring store space, and getting the relevant permissions and licenses. Furthermore, ingredients and packaging materials must be obtained in quantity, which may be costly at first.

Marketing and distribution are other crucial factors to consider. While some homebrewers may be able to sell their beer to people directly at local markets or festivals, others may need to locate distributors or shops to offer their products. This time-consuming and expensive procedure may require effective marketing and networking efforts.

Despite these difficulties, many home brewers have successfully converted their hobby into a viable company. Here are some pointers for anybody thinking about selling their homebrewed beverages.

Begin small: Begin by selling to friends and family or at farmer's markets and festivals in your area. This allows you to evaluate client interest and get feedback on your brew before investing in more extensive operations.

Create a distinct brand: Differentiating out is critical with so many brewers on the market. Create a unique brand and marketing plan to appeal to your target demographic.

Emphasize quality: Successful brewers emphasize beer quality above anything else. Ensure that your product is continuously of excellent quality and satisfies the expectations of your customers.

Join local brewing groups and attend events to meet and network with other brewers and industry experts. This may lead to beneficial collaborations and distribution possibilities.

Be prepared for setbacks: Setbacks are inevitable in every business effort. Prepare to modify and change your tactics as required.

Ultimately, whether or not to sell homebrew beer is a matter of personal choice and ambitions. While beer of sale may be profitable, it needs a significant commitment of time, effort, and resources. For others, the pleasure of home brewing may be sufficient without the additional burden of commercial operations. Turning a pastime into a flourishing company may be both enjoyable and lucrative for others.

While selling homemade beer might be difficult, it is feasible to generate a profit with the appropriate technique. Home brewers must be ready to invest in their craft, do legal research, and create a solid business strategy. Homebrewers may effectively traverse the commercial brewing world and transform their love for beer into a viable company by emphasizing quality, networking with other brewers, and building a distinctive brand.

NYC Neighborhood Highlight: Bushwick, Brooklyn

The month of August is slowly approaching its sunset, let’s finish off the month with another aspiring neighborhood that could be your forever home.

This week we're plunging headfirst into Bushwick – Brooklyn's chameleon neighborhood. What is it exactly? A pulsating, respiring art gallery? A beer aficionado's utopía? Let’s find out.

Bushwick Overview

Picture this: On one street corner, an old building that has weathered more history than your grandma's photo album. Next door? A coffee shop so nascent, the paint still emanates fumes. 

That's Bushwick for you – a place where yesterday and tomorrow are entangled close together.

Not long ago, this neighborhood pulsated with hard work and factory horns. Now? It magnetizes anyone who's ever ogled a paintbrush and mused, "I could make out a living with that." with its street art.

Echoes of its industrial roots linger on in its architecture, with many old factories and warehouses converted into lofts, studios, and art spaces.

Bushwick Rent and Real Estate Prices

Bushwick’s real estate market has seen a big growth in recent years, making it an attractive option for both renters and buyers.

Prices are skyrocketing faster than a feline scaling a tree, but they haven't yet breached the stratosphere... yet.

Rentals: Yearning to christen Bushwick your domicile? Brace yourself to disgorge about $2,500 per lunar cycle for a one-bedroom abode. 

But here's the twist – that price tag ricochets more vigorously than a tyke in the throes of a sugar rush, contingent on your proximity to the L train (alias the Cool Express). 

Sales: Contemplating purchasing in this neighborhood?The median sales price for a home in Bushwick is approximately $800,000.

That could secure you anything from a dwelling that predates sliced bread to a gleaming new apartment bristling with more gadgetry than a spy's arsenal.

Why are investors circling Bushwick? Two words: untapped potential. It’s like witnessing a caterpillar slowly turn into a butterfly with tattoos and knows how to mix a mean cocktail.

Best Things to Do in Bushwick

Ever wondered what happens when you toss art, nightlife, and a dash of Brooklyn magic into a blender? You get Bushwick - a neighborhood that doesn't just come alive, it practically jumps off the map and dances on your doorstep.

Explore Street Art: A visit to the Bushwick Collective is a must. This outdoor gallery features murals from artists all over the world, turning the neighborhood’s streets into an open-air museum.

Visit Breweries and Distilleries: Fancy imbibing whiskey where people once punched timecards? Kings County Distillery has got your back. 

Check Out the Local Art Galleries: Signal Gallery and Transmitter are just two of the many spaces showcasing cutting-edge contemporary art. These galleries are also home to emerging artists.

Relax in Maria Hernandez Park: Feeling a bit overwhelmed? No worries! Maria Hernandez Park lies at the heart of Bushwick. It's where the neighborhood comes to catch its breath, spread out a blanket for a picnic, and remember that grass isn't just something hipsters use to decorate their lattes.

So, is Bushwick the crown jewel of NYC neighborhoods? Well, that's like asking if pizza is the king of foods – it all depends on your taste buds. 

But here's the deal: if you're hunting for a slice of Brooklyn life that's equal parts gritty and pretty, with a side of the unexpected, Bushwick's serving it up 24/7.

Ready to explore more of NYC's neighborhood buffet? Let's chat! We can whip up an adventure that'll make your feet tired, your camera full, and your stories legendary.

Let’s connect so we can get started on your search for deals to add to your portfolio. Call me at 917-627-5677 or send an email to ehaliva@elliman.com.

Day 48 - Berlin

Woke up really early to catch a train to the airport for our morning flight. We arrived in Berlin and after catching the train to the city centre. Really nice weather in Berlin being in the low 20s and being comfortably humid compared to the dryness of Greece. We had a bit of a walk around to explore the surrounding area. Was expecting some cooler building initially but I supposed a lot was bomb back in the day and rebuilt more recently. We went back to the accommodation and rested to catch up on some sleep missed out in the morning and checked in. We went for a long walk to some markets and tried some Mata again which was delicious but not as tasty or cheap as the one in Toulouse. Then grabbed a burger and watch some of the soccer on the tv there as there where euro cup matches being played in Berlin and screen everywhere. We had walked a fair bit so went back to the hostel and crashed

Day 49 - Thalias Birthday

Woke up and it was Thalias birthday which also coincides with the summer solstice. There where heaps of bands scheduled to play throughout the city as a celebration so we planned to have a look around later when it all kicked off. Started the morning heading to north Berlin and gettin croissant and coffee and followed up with pancakes eggs and beacon for Breaky. We then headed to the Berlin Wall and found a cool old warehouse / pop up stalls on the river front which was really artisy with heaps of graffiti and character. It was pretty cool space and they where setting up for music but we thought we check it out later but didn’t get back around to it. We then arrived at the Berlin Wall which was fascinating to see and think about the history and learn about it. Have been using chatgpt to help me with information on areas and thing through the travel and learnt a bit more about the wall and what it symbolises. We then went to burgamister which had the best burgers on the trip. So delicious and juicy and really well priced. We then walk toward the park where there was meant to be some block party. Walking through the park there was a stage setup and some rapper singing. All in German but sounded good. It was raining so we continued on exploring and arrived at the block party which was a bit underwhelming as it was a few shop fronts in the rain putting something on but it had not a lot of action. We continued through the park and saw a bunch of mini races in the Forrest and just went exploring for music. Eventually found a cool one next to the river and checked that out before absolutely getting smashed with a storm. We headed back the way we came because there was a really highly rated gelato place and due to the rain there wasn’t many people. We had the typical pistachio and raspberry flavour which was really nice. We then head back towards home. Pasting a few cool street bands play psy rock and rnb. We then found a awesome industrial block that was now repurposed for art, clubs, skatepark, rock climbing, outdoor cinema (playing the euro World Cup), brewery, gallery, furniture shop from repurposed boats and I think there was a swimming pool looking at google maps at the back of a closed venue. and multiple artist performing from rock, indie and a few DJs. We stay around here for a while because it was the coolest area. We went into one of the clubs and watch this chick perform a awesome set of rapping then head across the street to get some food. While eating saw a drumming band on the corner of all this action and then we where a bit knackered so started to make our way back home. On they way I wanted to suss out Heimberg and we found a choir in a beautiful community garden setup as we headed towards it. We stay a while there and listen to the choir singing which was beautiful. We then walked over to Heimberg which was next to it and checked the building out as it was an old power station that had been converted into one of berlins top clubs. No action though as it all kicked off later. On Saturday it opens at 12pm and stops on Monday morning, also has half a million dollar sound system. We then maid our way back home. Passing some Cuban music and a bunch of oldies dancing. Eventually making it back home and crashing as we had walk about 37000 steps. Thalia was happy with the day so I could rest peacefully.

Day 50

We went exploring west grabbing my first crookie. Croissant crossed cookie. This was really fun and delicious. Thalia didn’t want me to get it but I persisted. We then headed west to check out museum island, along with Berlin gate, Jewish memorial and the old SS site which was now a museum after they blew it up and removed the building back in the day. This side of town was a lot more speccy and the building where more impressive. We didn’t go to any museums just had a look at the building before heading to the Berlin gate. This was kind la cool but the area had been transformed for the football and they had a viewing area and some infrastructure around it. We headed to see the Jewish memorial which was interesting as it made you feel a bit uncomfortable knowing what it was for and the design of the blocks which produced a feeling of discomfort. We then headed to the mall to find a toilet but after a massive search and being disappointed to find one of the toilets was closed and the other one had a massive line so we manage to walk another block and sneak into a restaurant for one. There was also a hot air balloon next to it that we had seen being lifted into the sky for advertising and then pulled back down to the ground. Nearby we saw the SS museum which follows the journey of the rise of hulter and the secret service he had along with the police force that was created pre war. It followed the timeline and the atrocities until post war and was very informative. Showing what could happen if you give one person total power with no checks and balances. Afterwards we head back home but not before I tried my favourite drink Huel. Basically a protein drink married a voost and had the same calories as a meal. All the while tasting really good. The first of many. We headed back home and crashed but not before grabbing some delicious Mexican. Two burritos, one with pork and one with chicken. We then went home and watch some stuff on the laptop and crashed.

Day 51

Originally we where only going to stay for three days but we extended it as it was pretty realaxing and a good climate too. We head out back east as Thalia had a pole class and I went to check out the artsy industrial area we enjoyed on her birthday. This time it was a huge reloved cloths market. Absolutely massive. Had a suss but knew we’d come back together to have a look. I then went to the heimberg to check it out as it had been going for about 12 hours. There was a huge line but even though I was outside the music sounded great. Got a bit of adrenaline hearing how good it was and imagining what it would be like. I then went to the park and read while I waited for Thalia to finish. Then we headed together to burgermiester to get more delicious burgers before heading to the reloved clothes markets and having a look around. Buying nothing but enjoying having an explore. We then headed back to the gelato shop we had been to previously but there was a 100m looking line so we nope the fuck out and headed to another one near by that was also rated pretty good. This one had more family vibes and had really delicious gelato. Pistachios and strawberry. There was also the best lemon slushie I had every had. Sour and a little sweet and tasted really fresh. We then headed further east to see a electronic gallery called dark matter. This had several rooms with different lighting designs which would play through different effects. This was really cool and inspirational. We spent over 2hrs here and had a great time seeing the different installations. We then headed back home. Had a funny experience as we hadn’t had water for ages and it was pretty hot this day. We tried going to Aldi but it was closed on Sundays. We google water fountains and found one in a park but it closed undergoing tests. Then we walked to another one and as we arrive. Two kids arrived just before us along with a mother and her kid. So we waited for them to drink but there was also a shit tonne of bees drinking from the water as well. The kids had different slow techniques to drink the water and then the baby would freak out and then be amazed at the bees but after a long time not having water it was out turn. We headed back to the accommodation and grabbed one burrito to share before crashing again.

Day 52

We weren’t to sure what to get up to this day. So we decided to escape the city and go visit one of the natural lakes that is used for swimming. We caught a train south and then went to the lake. It was a beautiful spot. You could walk around the whole lake in about 1.5hrs and it was really clean and clear. We went to the supermarket and grabbed some snacks and and then went for a swim before relaxing on some grass next to the river. After some reading and snacking and some more swimming we went into the town next to it and got a pizza which was alright and then what was best pistachio gelato we had had to much of Thalias surprise. We then walked around the lake and went for another swim before catching the train back to the city. This was really relaxing and enjoyable after a big weekend. We went to hungry so went to the supermarket to get some snacks for the night and tomorrow morning as we had another really early flight to catch. I brought two Heuls and I was set. We then went to bed early as we had to get up at 4.30am to catch a plain to Paris.

Day 53 - Paris

We arrived early and it was really hot. Back into 30 degree plus weather in a city. We drop our bags off and then went for a walk around the city but ended up chilling in the shade for a while reading. Then heading to oakberry to get a large açai to help cool down. We then checked into our room and hid from the midday heat. Later we headed out and had some Moroccan food which wa delicious. Tagine chicken potato lemon curry. Then headed to the Eiffel Tower after getting a bit stuck around the pre Paris olympics infrastructure that was being setup everywhere and prevent google maps from getting us some places without detours. Saw the building where Neapolitan was buried in which was pretty cool. Tower was neat as well but I was a bit underwhelmed. Still cool to see but had seen better building in the travels. We then headed back home and crashed for the night as it was a huge day.

Day 54

We woke up and grabbed some coffee and sandwiched before heading to the Louvre. We lined up for 1.5hrs and ate our food in the line. It was hot again so it did seem to take a a while but once we where in it was awesome. Such a cool entrance and the buildings it was within where amazing. This is definitely the best museum I have been too. The art works where incredible. Amazing painting on huge scales and heaps of Greek statues. We went exploring for about three hours and didn’t quite see it all. Really enjoyed seeing the art in here. From the Mona Lisa and naplolian crowning his wife in this massive painting. A lot of great history within it. Saw all the old Crown Jewels which where incredibly glamorous and then where tired again. We left and saw some kind of photoshoot happening. We learnt that fashion week had just been and now it was the local Paris stores fashion week. No one that we recognised but people seem to get around these potential models. We headed home and then Thalia headed to pole. I meet up with her after her class and we then went to find some dinner. We where going to some markets but most of it was closed and nothing popped out to much. So we grabbed some mojitos nearby and had a look on google maps for a restaurant. We decided to treat ourselves and went to a stake house. This had a really nice atmosphere. Relaxing and cool venue. We had eye fillet and a Argentina steak which escape my mind. It was like a scorch though. Really delicious meats paired with some wine. Had a lovely night there. We then headed back home for the night after that.

Day 55

We where a bit knackered this day after all the traveling about and big cities. We did some shopping. We went to another museum that was for youth art and it had a nice sound room and a really captivating short film. Then we knocked of early as we had another morning flight. This time off to Norways Bodø

Day 56 / 57 / 58 / 59 / 60 - Norway

This was a really nice wind down from all the traveling. We were lucky enough to stay with Hamish and his partner Elisa and there baby Hazel. It was during 24hrs of sunlight as the lived in the arctic circle. We went for walks around the area and spent time catching up and watching Hazel as she was very amusing. We went to a lovely beach out of town a bit for a day trip which was lovely and went for some very cold swims in the oceans and lakes. Cooked some meals for each other. Ate some reindeer. Had a really relaxing and restorative time. Finishing up with the floating sauna on the water front which allowed you to cold plunge and then jump back into the heat. A really nice ending to the main adventure.

Fermentation Tanks: These tanks can be adapted into rainwater collection systems, aiding in sustainable gardening practices.

Kettles and Boilers: Large kettles can be turned into raised garden beds or compost bins, promoting efficient use of space and resources.

Cooling Coils: Often used in the brewing process, these coils can be adapted into hydroponic systems or irrigation aids.

Food and Beverage Industry

The food and beverage industry can find multiple uses for repurposed brewery equipment:

Fermentation Tanks: These can be used for making other fermented products such as kombucha, pickles, or sauerkraut.

Kegs: Stainless steel kegs can be used for storage of other beverages like cider or for transporting bulk liquids.

Bottling Lines: Repurposed bottling equipment can assist small-scale producers in bottling sauces, juices, or artisanal drinks.

Art and Craft Projects

For artists and crafters, brewery equipment can provide unique materials for creative projects:

Concentration camps in Berlin

The most concentrated place for concentration camps is Berlin. In 1933, there were 170 early concentration camps here, mostly located in private apartments, SA bars, and SA homes (a place for the unemployed) WEDDING District and Kroyzberg District established 34 concentration camps in the spring alone. People on the streets used concentration camps to intimidate each other and could send newly caught people to the camps within minutes. No concentration camp existed independently of the local police. The ORANIENBURG concentration camp north of Berlin was established on March 21st, converted from an abandoned brewery and held 40 people. A few days later, it was taken over by the local government. In August, it became the largest concentration camp in Prussia, holding 900 people and at least 9 deaths between May and September. The early living conditions in concentration camps managed by semi militarized organizations were extremely harsh, as many of these sites were not initially prepared for the detention of prisoners. At the same time, from the moment the prisoner arrived, violence began. The carefully designed violence and insults made everyone, regardless of gender or age, a plaything for guards, facing beatings and even more serious suffering.

Go By Train: Four Multi-Brewery Day Trips from New York City

Sand City South in Lindenhurst

It’s getting to be that time of year where all the heat and humidity and garbage smells get to you and you just have to… get away. If you’ve got a day to kill and a hankering to visit a brewery or two, here are a quick few escapes from the city for the day, all doable by commuter rail.

Lindenhurst, Long Island

From nothing just a few years ago, Lindenhurst has become a legitimate beer destination on Long Island, and it’s just an hour by LIRR from Penn Station. The town is anchored by the spacious South Shore location of the new Sand City Brewing, the second outpost of the brewery that got its start on the North Shore in Northport. Walk north on Wellwood Avenue and you’ll find two storefront nanobreweries along the town’s main drag: 27A Brewing, a reliable spot that’s the longest-running of the town’s breweries, and Breslau Brewing, whose taproom feels like a friendly little neighborhood bar. If you’re into mead, W A Meadworks is just up the street, too. If you’re not ready to go home after all that, the outstanding Root + Branch Brewing is just one stop away in Copaigue.

Asbury Park, New Jersey

The taproom at Wild Air Beerworks in Asbury Park

Head down the shore and you’ll find a stretch of breweries along NJ Transit’s North Jersey Coast Line. Wild Air Beerworks in Asbury Park is just a short walk from the Asbury Park stop, offering an Instagram-friendly taproom with fantastic beers to boot. If you need some food, the Asbury Park Festhalle has some good grub and a house beer made by Two Ton Brewing. Head down the line one stop to Bradley Beach and you’re just a stone’s throw from the bustling Bradley Brew Project on Main Street and Little Dog Brewing Co. across the tracks in Neptune City. Best of all? You’re never more than a 15-minute walk from the beach.

Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County

Mill House Brewing Company’s brewpub

It’s admittedly a bit of a trek up to Poughkeepsie on Metro-North. But on a nice day, you can stretch your legs after the two-hour train ride on the Walkway Over the Hudson before you head uphill to decide among the city’s six (!) breweries. Mill House is its oldest, serving beers from their twenty-barrel brewery down the road in its Mill Street brewpub. King’s Court was put on the map by their two Great American Beer Festival medals, which in my experience are well-deserved. Zeus Brewing is worth checking out for the view from their rooftop bar. Blue Collar has grown to become a Poughkeepsie mainstay and has a wonderful brick-lined taproom. Obscure Oscillation specializes in Belgian-style beers and has a taproom in a residential neighborhood that’s open only on Thursdays. And while not exactly easily-walkable, Plan Bee Farm Brewery is on the outskirts of town and opens to serve their outstanding 100% New York State farm beers on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

Riverhead, Long Island

North Fork Brewing Company’s taproom

Riverhead is equally far from the city by train as Poughkeepsie (just a little over two hours away), but equally-brewery’ed. The six breweries in this town range from the Irish-themed (Long Ireland), to the little Main Street storefront (Tradewinds), to the shiny brewpub (Peconic County Brewing), to the converted firehouse-turned-taproom (North Fork), to the beer nerd’s paradise (ubergeek), to the music-themed brewery (Twin Fork). Just don’t stay out too late — the last train back to the city is just after 9:30pm every day.

June 22, 2023

I have truly been remiss, but no time like the present. Here are some snapshots of the past month:

I may have mentioned Harvest Host? A yearly fee of approximately $80 and you have the opportunity to stay in a plethora of ranches, farms, wineries, breweries, distilleries, dairies… In exchange, one is expected to spend $20 and purchase their merchandise, or make a donation. We’ve had our share of Harvest Host experiences. Coastal Brewing Company in Savannah where we played bingo and won a crawler of beer, Grayce Wild Horse Preserve with exceptionally well cared for rescues, Stable View in South Carolina boasted hunter courses and pristine stables for the uppermost crust of equestrian riders, Animal Sanctuary where Debbie homed over 100 animals from pigs to parrots, ponies, dogs and cats and even a couple of rescue toads. She was on first name basis with all 100+ of them!

With every intention of getting back to California by August 15, we had a difficult time heading west. This was due to the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains just north of Asheville, NC. We’d been wanting to visit Asheville for years having heard about the amazing music scene. Either we visited the wrong time of year or it isn’t what it once was, but Eddie and I were underwhelmed when it came to finding good music. On the other hand, the old Amtrak warehouses converted into art studios, workshops and galleries made up for it in spades. We watched glass blowers blowing, silk screener screening, jewelers jeweling, potters potting. They offer workshops and the galleries are impressive and endless. We had to return for another day to get our fill. We stayed in 1899 Wright Inn B and B and were spoiled rotten. We were served exquisite two course breakfasts, wine and cheese in the afternoons and the house was a heritage site and gorgeous. Clifford was a bit jealous, but every once in a while we like to treat ourselves to the other side of life and Clifford will just have to get over it. Besides there was a tune up in his future, and that made up for the betrayal.

Tuned, oil changed, new windshield wiper mechanism, AC compression oil changed and we were ready to roll.

North from Asheville, onto the Blue Ridge Parkway to Pisgah. I never tire of a shibui landscape. Mum often used this word to describe a particular aesthetic of simple, subtle and unobtrusive beauty, usually in reference to a vista with mountains overlapping to the horizon. Green to black to grey to blue to white. The Blue Ridge Mountains truly do appear as blue. I could sit and contemplate that view for a very long time. We camped at Pisgah, Julian Price Lake, Linville Falls and Stone Mountain. At Linville Falls we watched a young man climb a 60+ foot waterfall and do triple flip loop-di-loops into the swimming hole below! We hiked 5 to 7 miles a day, saved a tortoise along the parkway from being run over. I’ve saved three so far. It is my calling, being the traveling turtles that we are… we’ve got to stick together. Blue Ridge Parkway runs north south and we are trying to head west, but we had to go as far north as the Blue Ridge Music Center, visit their museum and listen to locals playing their old time folk music. As tradition has it, songs get passed around the circle. When it came to the bass players turn, no one knew the song Across the Great Divide, by Kate Wolf. I raised my hand, pointed to Eddie and said “My husband knows it!” They invited him up to play with them. So Eddie got to sit in with the band. As serendipity has it, we discover that Watch Tower, formerly Mandolin Orange, were performing in the outdoor amphitheater that very night and they still had tickets. The only bad thing about that evening is that sitting around on festival chairs with friendly people and the grass beneath our toes gave us pangs of missing the Kate Wolf Music Festival.

Our journey West finally in earnest has begun. From the Blue Ridge to Virginia to Tennessee. One of our on the road less traveled stays was in Damascus, Virginia. The only reason we found this town of 800 was because I took a wrong turn, ended up on a dirt road and voila, we were in Damascus. We stopped to fill up Clifford’s belly and discovered that this town is the convergence of four trails, the Appalachian, U.S. Bicycle Route 76, The Iron Mountain Trail and the Virginia Creeper Trail. It is also on the route of the Daniel Boone Heritage Trail and the Crooked Road Music Heritage Trail. We hiked the Crooked Trail. The only music we found was a guy with his beat up guitar who’d been kicked out of his girlfriend’s house and was living out of his van. He played us a few toothless songs that he’d written about love lost. He only knew a few chords but had a pretty voice. We stayed in an old mill where the proprietors offered to do all of our laundry, even our sheets. What a treat! Once we got to Tennessee, we stayed at another Harvest Host on a dairy farm. The only proprietor we met there was an 11 year old boy who came zooming up on an ATV from somewhere down the road where his Grammy lived. He couldn’t visit with us long because his step-dad expected him to mow the fields before nightfall. Andrew was well mannered and curious about everything in Clifford. He asked questions about the engine that we couldn’t answer and asked to take a spin on our electric bikes, which of course we obliged. He was homeschooled because there was too much work on the farm. Children grow up fast in these part and he couldn’t have been a nicer young gentleman. With the sun beginning to set, he rushed off jumped on a massive John Deere tractor which engulfed him and adeptly road off into the mowing sunset.

A few more nights, with day visits to the Country Music Museum in Bristol, where the first ever recordings of country music were made, a zip through Knoxville and another Harvest Host night at Short Mountain Distillery. The land and high mineral content of the spring water is home to this distillery which has been making moonshine, whiskey and bourbon for centuries. Al Capone was a frequent visitor to this land. Al Capone!

And then there’s Nashville where just by serendipity, our middle name, we discovered that Bruce Cockburn was playing Saturday Night at the CMA (Country Music Association) and Jackson Browne was playing Sunday night at the Opry House. We procured tickets for Bruce and emailed Jackson’s manager… Lucky us, Eddie and I both got to teach/counsel Jackson’s nephew for four years at Happy Valley School in Ojai. Jackson was Jay’s guardian so we had the opportunity to get to know him. We are very grateful and tickled pink to have gotten to sit 5 rows back and center and hear him perform for three hours in such an iconic venue. He was awesome. And Bruce of course was fabulous too!! Broadway in Nashville is Bourbon St in New Orleans on crack. The cacophony of colliding country bands mixed with drunken bachelorettes and dazzled tourists in cowgirl boots and 10 gallon hats is enough stimulation to last a lifetime. We watched in wonder and went home to our Airbnb. Monday night we went to The Station Inn to hear a country bluegrass band with a very dignified audience. It’s just a little hole in the wall with pizza, popcorn and pop, but the musicianship is phenomenal. On Tuesday night we went to The Grand Ole’ Opry because when in Rome…. The land of Dolly Parton and Roy Acuff. Riders in the Sky started off the show. Four really old dudes who looked like character out of the Coen Brother’s movie, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. We witnessed one girl have her debut Opry experience. She performed with her two brothers on guitar on either side of her. And a slew of other music vignettes ripe with songs about booze, trucks, Jesus, boots and betrayal. Whew, we survived Nashville! From there we happily climbed aboard out trusty Cliffy and ventured back into the woods and streams and trails.

Alrighty friends, until next time, Love and hugs,

Karen

Crafting Quality: A Look Inside a Local Brewing Company

A local brewing company is a brewery that is independently owned and operated within a specific geographic area. These companies typically produce a variety of beers using locally sourced ingredients and often have a taproom or tasting room where customers can sample and purchase the beers directly. Some local brewing companies may also distribute their beers to bars, restaurants, and retailers within the area. The focus is on small-scale production and local community. Red Capital Partners brewing company reading

Brewing is the process of making beer by fermenting and boiling a mixture of grains, hops, yeast, and water. The grains, typically barley, are first malted to convert the starches into sugars that the yeast can then ferment. Hops are added for flavor and aroma, and yeast is added to ferment the sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The mixture, called wort, is then boiled to sterilize it, and hops are added again for bittering. After cooling, yeast is added for fermentation, which typically takes several days to a week. The fermented liquid, called beer, is then conditioned, filtered, and carbonated before being packaged in bottles, cans, or kegs for consumption.

1. History of Brewing Industry

The history of brewing dates back to ancient civilizations, with evidence of beer production dating back to the Sumerians in Mesopotamia around 4000 BC. The ancient Egyptians also had a strong brewing tradition, and beer was a staple in the diets of both the ancient Egyptians and the ancient Babylonians. In ancient Greece and Rome, beer was also widely consumed and was considered a staple of the diet. During the Middle Ages, monasteries in Europe were known for their brewing, and the profession of brewing eventually became a secular occupation. The industrial revolution in the 19th century saw the rise of large-scale commercial brewing, with the development of new technology and techniques leading to the mass production of beer. Today, brewing is a global industry, with a wide variety of beers and brewing styles produced around the world.

2. Growth and expansion of brewing industry

The brewing industry has experienced significant growth and expansion in recent years. This can be attributed to a number of factors, including an increase in demand for craft beer, the popularity of home brewing, and the emergence of new technologies that make it easier for small and independent brewers to enter the market. Additionally, the growing interest in locally-sourced ingredients and sustainable brewing practices has also contributed to the industry's expansion. As a result of these trends, the number of breweries in the United States has increased from around 2,000 in 2010 to over 8,000 in 2020.

3. Description of the brewing process

The brewing process involves several steps to convert grain, typically barley, into a fermented alcoholic beverage such as beer. The basic steps include:

- Milling: The barley is crushed to create grist, a coarse flour-like substance.

- Mash: The grist is mixed with hot water to create a porridge-like mixture called the mash. This step converts the starches in the barley into sugars that can be fermented.

- Lautering: The liquid is separated from the solids in the mash in a process called lautering.

- Boiling: The liquid, now called wort, is boiled with hops to add bitterness and flavor.

- Fermenting: The cooled wort is transferred to a fermentation vessel and yeast is added to begin the fermentation process, which converts the sugars in the wort into alcohol and carbon dioxide.

- Conditioning: The fermented beer is then conditioned, or aged, to allow the flavors to develop.

- Packaging: The finished beer is then packaged into bottles, cans or kegs for distribution and consumption.

Additional steps such as filtration, carbonation, and pasteurization can also be included depending on the style and desired characteristics of the final product.

4. Equipment and technology

Equipment and technology used for brewing beer includes:

- Mash tun: a vessel used for mashing, which is the process of combining the grist (crushed malted grains) with hot water to convert the starches in the grains into sugars that can be fermented by the yeast.

- Lauter tun: a vessel used for separating the liquid wort from the spent grains.

- Kettle or boiling pot: a vessel used for boiling the wort and adding hops for flavor and aroma.

- Heat exchanger: a device used to cool the wort quickly after boiling to a temperature suitable for yeast fermentation.

- Fermenter: a vessel used to hold the wort while yeast ferments the sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide.

- Bright tank: a vessel used to hold the beer after fermentation, where it can be clarified and carbonated before being packaged.

- Kegging and bottling equipment: used to package the beer in kegs or bottles for distribution and sale.

- Temperature control equipment: used to maintain the proper temperatures for different stages of the brewing process.

- Measuring and testing equipment: used to measure the specific gravity, pH, and other parameters of the wort and beer to ensure consistent quality.

- Cleaning and sanitizing equipment: used to keep all equipment and surfaces clean and free of bacteria and other contaminants.

5. Unique ingredients or techniques

There are many unique ingredients and techniques that can be used when brewing beer. Some examples include:

- Using fruit, spices, or herbs in addition to the traditional hops and barley to add flavor and aroma to the beer.

- Adding coffee or chocolate to the brew for a unique taste.

- Using wild yeasts or bacteria to ferment the beer, instead of traditional brewing yeasts. This can add complexity and unique flavors to the beer.

- Using barrel aging to impart flavors from the wood or previous contents of the barrel.

- Using a coolship, a large shallow pan, to cool the wort and allow wild yeast and bacteria to inoculate the wort, which can add unique flavors to the beer.

- Using non-traditional grains, such as quinoa, buckwheat, or millet.

- Using different techniques like dry-hopping, hop-bursting and whirlpool hopping, these can add more aroma and flavor to beer.

- Using a kettle soured process, where the wort is fermented with bacteria before yeast is added, can create a tart and refreshing beer.

6. Marketing and Distribution

The brewing industry uses a variety of marketing and distribution strategies to promote and sell their products. These can include advertising in traditional media such as television and print, as well as digital marketing through social media and online advertising.

In terms of distribution, breweries often rely on a network of wholesalers and distributors to get their products to retailers and consumers. These intermediaries play a key role in getting the product to the right places and in the right quantities. Some breweries also sell their products directly to consumers through their own taprooms or online stores.

Breweries also use promotions, such as special releases, discounts, events and sponsorships to increase visibility and drive sales. Another way of marketing is through collaborations with other business such as restaurants, bars, and events.

Overall, the brewing industry uses a combination of marketing and distribution strategies to build brand awareness, drive sales, and reach new customers.

7. Branding and packaging

Branding and packaging in the brewing industry are important elements that help to differentiate a product from its competitors and appeal to consumers. Branding includes elements such as a company's name, logo, and overall image, while packaging includes the design and materials used for the containers in which the product is sold. For example, a brewery may choose to use a unique bottle shape or label design to make their product stand out on a store shelf. Additionally, packaging can also serve a functional purpose such as providing information about the beer, such as alcohol content, ingredients and nutritional values.

8. Community Involvement and Sustainability

The brewing industry can get involved in the community by participating in local events, supporting local charities and non-profit organizations, and using locally sourced ingredients in their products. In terms of sustainability, breweries can implement practices such as using renewable energy sources, reducing water usage, and recycling waste. Additionally, many breweries are now using sustainable packaging options, such as cans and bottles made from recycled materials, to reduce their environmental impact. The industry can also work to educate consumers about sustainable consumption and the environmental impact of their choices.

Conclusion

The brewing industry is a large and diverse field that encompasses a wide range of products and production methods. In recent years, there has been a trend towards craft and microbreweries, which offer unique and high-quality beers that are often made using traditional techniques and locally sourced ingredients. Additionally, there has been a growing interest in sustainable practices and environmental responsibility within the industry. Overall, the brewing industry is a vibrant and rapidly evolving field that is expected to continue to grow and evolve in the future.
