Pitcher This: Brewing it our way - September 17, 2008

We Americans like to do things our way, even (sometimes especially) if old-world tradition frowns on it. Exhibit A: the Berman Museum decides to throw an autumnal celebration of beer, holds it on one day in September, and does the whole thing indoors.
