All About Beer
01
The role
What they make
Founded 1979 and the longest-running American beer magazine, publishing long-form cultural and historical writing rather than recipes. Its print edition ceased and the title changed hands in the late 2010s; it has continued online under new ownership, and its back catalogue is a significant record of American brewing from the 1980s onward.

Tally's take
Why it matters
Worth knowing that the magazine which documented the American craft era for forty years nearly disappeared itself. Its archive is exactly the kind of thing this project exists to keep track of.
