A relatively new holiday (est. 2018) created by a bunch of beer enthusiasts, National Rotate Your Beer Day is all about trying unusual yet interesting beer styles and discovering delicious new brews:
Keeping in mind that new (to you) might actually be ancient in the scheme of things. Like some of the re-emerging African styles of beers (made from super grains like fonio, millet, sorghum, a range of rices — which all just happen to be naturally gluten-free* which works best for me) …thanks to the brilliance of brewmasters like my friend Garret Oliver and a resurgence of Black and African-heritage brewers at large, exciting stuff is bubblin up!
For the barely known, rarely told “African origins of beer” intel yours truly researched and wrote about, reach out to me on my Patreon platform if you’re interested ⬇️...
[*re: ‘gluten-free’ May happens to be Coeliac Awareness Month…]
For more previously "missing history" served up to you via food & drink stories + personal and cultural content — and for direct access for answers to your specific q’s and curiosities, you can support this work I do as an independent scholar via hiring or recommending me for paid projects and/or by becoming part of my Patreon platform. If you're already a Patreon Supporter THANK YOU and pls do utilize your perks there, thanks!
