In the brewpub heyday of the 1990s, virtually every brewery had a hefeweizen on tap as a âgateway beerâ for people new to the intense flavors of craft beer styles. Hefeweizens then went out of style for many years, but they seem to be making a comeback, as a number of California breweries have produced these refreshing wheat beers recently.

Pacifica Brewery owner Helen Nasser joins The Next Revolution to discuss her fight against strict California COVID restrictions impacting small businesses.
The concept of personal liberty is that our rights come from our humanity. If you believe in a Supreme Being, as I do and as the Declaration of Independence presupposes, then you acknowledge these rights as a gift from the Creator.
If you doubt or reject the existence of a Supreme Being, you can still accept the personal origin of these rights. Humans are rational beings and the essence of natural rights is the exercise of reason to seek the truth. The individual employment of unimpeded reason is the exercise of a natural right.
