A great lager starts to reveal itself at the end of the first glass, and again at the start of the second. This ubiquitous style of beer is dominant around the world. There’s a reason why we reach for them with regularity at ballparks, bars, backyard barbecues or beaches.
Refreshing and crisp, lagers rely heavily on malts for body and flavor, but they count on hops for a touch of spice or whimsy. The style has dominated the America beer scene since at least the 1870s, says Tom Acitelli, author of
Pilsner: How the Beer of Kings Changed the World (Chicago Review Press, 2020).

Join us on Sunday, May 9, 2021 from 2:00pm - 3:00pm Central for a generative workshop with featured poet Megan Fernandes.
Workshop Description: Experimental Writing
This generative writing workshop guides students through different forms and prompts of experimental writing in the 20th century beginning with the innovations of modernism and ending with feminist diasporic poetry. The goal of the class is to loosely define and explore the “playfulness” of experimentation and see its potentialities and possibilities as challenging narrative chronology, the coherence and singularity of the speaker, and the formula of a volta or catharsis.
Recommended for participants 16 years and above.
Neda Ulaby reports on arts, entertainment, and cultural trends for NPR s Arts Desk.
Scouring the various and often overlapping worlds of art, music, television, film, new media and literature, Ulaby s radio and online stories reflect political and economic realities, cultural issues, obsessions and transitions, as well as artistic adventurousness and awesomeness.
