Thanks for the book reco, and I was sure you would like this post. I will have to look forward that when we are in the airport this afternoon. Airports are the best bet when traveling for English language books. The other option is audio from iTunes.

Home brew with some ribs and brisket sounds like a perfect welcome home dinner in 6 months. Consider my order placed.

Robyn – could you post some of those links here? I was also very disappointed in the end of the book. His recommendation on how to solve the problems he outlined was to hold discussion groups about Economic Hitman seemed a little self serving. I would like to read more about this as we will be meeting with someone from the IFC in Bejing in May. I want to have as much background as possible.

And I did not see the NYT article. That is to bad because I think I must have followed most of it from Hanoi to HCMC.

While you may not love the beer served in your current locale, they’ll all taste like five-star beers if you consider a 40oz. of OE. It’s all relative!

Love this post. You’re in for better beer times, I guarantee it.

Finally, a truly inspirational post. Saving the earth and whatnot is cool I guess, but if humanity is to be truly saved, it will be through our common love of fermented grains (and fruits, for my gluten-free friends).

If you want to marry your lists, try: “Beer School: Bottling Success at the Brooklyn Brewery.” It’s a fascinating look at doing a start-up in a relatively young industry written by the two founders of the brewery. And it’s about beer. Enough said.

But you haven’t had any of my home-brew yet! Of course, neither have I as I received the equipment to do it yesterday, but I figure I’ve got some time to practice before I see you again. Hopefully by then it will be tolerable.

Did you guys see the NYT article on the beer trail in Vietnam? Read Confessions of an Economic Hitman a few months back; certainly worth a read to at least get people thinking about these issues, but I ultimately found it disappointing (especially when I searched around for criticism/rebuttals and found it in respectable places).
