Whilst sharing a couple of pitchers of beer with one Tai Kim (aka the ice cream guru in charge of Scoops), I was informed that the two main beers brewed in Korea are spinoffs of Kirin and Saporo. They came about directly because of the era of Japan’s occupation of Korea. I’m intrigued and have been sparked into examing socio-political influences on food and food manufacturing. If I ever get around to making a coherent thought on breakfast, I hope to follow it up with a look into this.

T-Minus one week until Chicago and AERA. I guess that means I should actually start planning out my portion of the ol’ presentation.
