A note, reminder from our friends in Chicago.
Modern Marvels on the History Channel has two programs of interest.
Distilleries at 7:00 CDT and Midnight
Breweries at 8:00 CDT and 1 a.m.
These have been on before but are worth a look.
Cheers,
Jim

It's one of the world's oldest and most beloved beverages--revered by Pharaohs
and brewed by America's Founding Fathers. Today, brewing the bitter elixir is a
multi-billion-dollar global industry. Join us for an invigorating look at brewing's
history from prehistoric times to today's cutting-edge craft breweries, focusing on
its gradually evolving technologies and breakthroughs. We'll find the earliest known
traces of brewing, which sprang up independently in such far-flung places as ancient
Sumeria, China, and Finland; examine the surprising importance that beer held in the daily
and ceremonial life of ancient Egypt; and at Delaware's Dogfish Head Craft Brewery,
an adventurous anthropologist and a cutting-edge brewer show us the beer they've
concocted based on 2,700-year-old DNA found in drinking vessels from the funerary of the
legendary King Midas. TVPG cc

Modern Marvels is a good series.

Also right before the brewing episode:
Distilleries.
Airs on Wednesday, August 2 at 8:00pm ET
From water and grain...to mash...still...vat...barrel and bottle--the
distilling of alcoholic spirits is a big business and
near-sacred religion. Its
acolytes eye the color, swirl the glass, inhale the bouquet,
sip, and then ponder
their ambrosia. What's your pleasure? Bourbon, Scotch, Rum,
Gin, Vodka, or
Tequila? We trace the history of distilling from the
one-man/one-still tradition
to the Voldstead Act of 1920 that devastated American
distilleries to the
mega-sales and high-volume distillery of today. TVPG
