Final Gravity, A Beer Zine Issue 04
Issue 04 of Final Gravity, a print beer magazine that shares immersive and personal stories from the world of beer, is now available.
Rather than a typical glossy beer mag, Final Gravity is an old school stapled zine, but with paid writing and art. It tells the stories that don’t often make it into the pages of beer magazines, the stories that together weave the fabric of the collective beer experience.
In this issue, Kate Power of Lady Justice Brewing shares her hilarious but insightful thoughts on the frustrations of beer festivals, including getting drenched by a foaming keg and doing some back-of-the-napkin math on how much the Brewers Association might be making on the Great American Beer Festival on the backs of small breweries.
Lana Svitankova takes us on an immersive tour into the Upper Palatinate region of Germany to explore their rich tradition of communal brewing.
Pellicle editor-in-chief Matthew Curtis looks at how the cask ale tradition in Manchester is bringing together British tradition and New World beer styles.
Sophie Lau shares her poignant reflections on time, distance, and how both impact friendship, all over a cold bottle of Blue Girl Beer on Cheung Chau Island.
Here’s the complete list of stories in this issue:
Why I Might Be Done with Beer Festivals by Kate Power of Lady Justice Brewing—A brewery owner fires, re-hires, and fires herself again over beer festival frustration. Are they ever worth the hassle?
