The Tilley family, which has cultivated the land on which Agrarian Ales sits since 1985 as an organic farm, and their compatriots have grown something better from their land than just fresh organic produce, it has become a place for good food, good beer, good friends, and good farming.

Our most recent drive home from Dickinson College marked the end of a tradition. We wanted to end our tradition on a high note. We see ourselves as (amateur, but proud) beer geeks, and the logical choice was to visit a couple breweries as we drove home. We wanted more than a simple tour; we wanted to talk to the brewers, the owners, and the drinkers.

Barreling down the narrow streets of Baltimore is a green box truck with gold and black lines intertwined running down the sides. Where it stops, the air fills with aromas of allspice, ginger, garlic, cloves, thyme, and pepper. There is a level of complexity that sends your senses into a spiral. Recently, while visiting his food Truck, Chef Brown took time to answer some questions about his inspiration, challenges, and achievements.

Welcome to our new series call Thoughts from the Grange. A series of sit-down interviews with young farmers and food entrepreneurs. Brody Mcallister is thoughtful, opinionated, and knowledgable about what makes the Baltimore-area community special, but also vulnerable. The conversation started with discussions about dogs and family, but suddenly dove deep into the fabric that guides our food decisions.

The wanton ways of Winter have us pining for the Fall again, where change was a predictable constant. Compared to Winter's indecisive cold-warm, snow-rain weather, Fall's reliable and slow decent into colder weather feels like a more welcome kind of change. Here are two Liquid Lyric submissions inspired by that time of year. Consider this our "sweater weather" Liquid Lyrics.

Big Hill is bringing people closer to their local agriculture, but at their core they simply want to provide the best experience they can through their cider. Their identity isn't simply farm-to-glass cider making, they are making cider that speaks to their community and connects to the identity of Adams County Pennsylvania.

The drive to the Old Fort Farm in Hesperus, Colorado is deceptively steep. From downtown Durango I rose steadily, almost imperceptibly, and gained a thousand feet within minutes. With a bit of navigating, I located the Fields to Plate farmers. The small crew was harvesting a thousand-pound beet sunset: red, gold, pink, purple. The bounty seemed unlikely for such a dry, high altitude location; so, I set forth to learn how they did it.

We often choose music to fit our mood, situation, or environment. The right song can illuminate a moment, while the wrong one can ruin it all. We believe that what we drink can do the same. A well-made pilsner makes warm weather warmer, and a good cortado can turn around a tired afternoon. Please read with a good drink in hand and the right tune in the background.
