Yes, I know, he is the god of WINE. However, Dionysus the god, in my opinion, relates far more closely to the culture and merits of modern day craft beer drinkers then those that imbibe his own beverage these days. I'll back up this claim in a later post, but as a taste, simply answer this question: how many wine drinkers today do you see chugging from the bottle while urinating on the floor as pictured above? Not many. And I am positive that if Dionysus had to make a choice between the grain and the grape he would choose both, but further forced to choose he would take the imperial red and its company over a red wine and its associates. I have made this blog primarily to keep track of my ideas and experiences in brewing. I don't intend to enter the attention-whoredom that blogging commonly is. Spectators are far more likely to find personal reminders and to-do lists then gossip and commentary. It is said that Dionysus was birthed out of Zeus' thigh, and hopefully I have the thigh capacity to birth similarly energizing, inspirational, and influential brews. At least, eventually.
