I will certainly revisit this article on beer-related travel in the not-so-distant future.
Wine country too pricey? Try brewery hopping – CNN.com
As is often the case in the United States, beer is compared to wine on a scale of sophistication and snobbery. It would be quite different in Europe, but it does make sense.
I have a lot to say about this but it will have to wait. Some quick notes, maybe…
- Beer/wine as a gender divide
- Beer travel and beer geekery
- Beer knowledge and the geek crowd
- Beer sophistication through diversity
- Seasonal effects on media exposure for beer
- Many shapes of “craft beer culture”
- Beer and coffee
- Craft beer marketing
- Beer as a local product
- Beer-related expenses (beer paraphernalia)
- Regional tastes in the beer world
- Social networking through beer-related travel
- “Every major city has a brewpub” redefining inter-local networks
- Beer and friendship
- International beer travels
- Beer imports
- Beer diversity in experience

If you’re interested in issues around beer and gender, there was an interesting series on Great Lakes Brewing News about it.
I do understand that the association between gender and beer/wine is a social construct. But, as social constructs go, it’s a fascinating one.
It is very interesting thanks for the Great Lakes news!
