This difference remained statistically significant after adjusting for researcher, pub ambience, [and] Guinness appearance

Yes, Guinness tastes better in Ireland

A little out of date as news, but true nonetheless.

Along with Elizabeth St. Brewery and (newly discovered to myself) Clara St. Brewing (both here in the San Francisco Bay Area), it’s a veritable revolution of “nano” proprotions.

The stories one hears of how the various incarnations of this new batch of “nano” brewers came to be is evocative of the stories that have floated about on the early years of the latest batch of coffee roasters such as Blue Bottle – started by James Freeman – and Stumptown – hatched by Duane Sorenson. Freeman wanted better tasting coffee so he started roasting his own. Sorenson started out by hand delivering individual bags of coffee to each of his customers.

The rest is history.
