Everything Old is Brewed Again 
Nice to see that historically inspired beers are starting to get traction. If there’s one thing I learned during my MSc, its that beer can be much more than barley, hops, and S. cerevisiae. Hopefully in the coming years, such beers become more prevalent. [Gastropod]

Prehistoric wine-making at Dikili Tash (Northern Greece): Integrating residue analysis and archaeobotany
Now this one isn’t as fresh off the press (being public since May 31st), but I only found out about it the other day. I’ll have to do a proper sit down and do a thorough read-through, as it’s very interesting. Seems like Garnier and Valamoti discovered some Neolithic winemaking from around 4300 BCE in Greece. Pretty big claim as it would provide the earliest evidence for winemaking in the Eastern Mediterranean and Europe. [Science Direct]

Piniavos
Lars continues his travels through Lithuania. This time he stops off at the Piniavos brewery, an old - granted it uses modern equipment - farmhouse brewery. Some really interesting brewing methods here, like using raspberry stems and a two wort blending technique. [Larsblog]

Dark Mild
Some musings on the Dark Mild, which interestingly wasnt used much before WWII. Reading this makes me wish I still lived in England. A mild would really hit the spot right about now. [Barklay Perkins]
