Followers of the blog know that I am more than just a little keen on Beer history. I like all the nooks and crannies of beer throughout the years. But it is not as well covered as many other fields. Thankfully, the Beer Culture Center along with the Newberry Library are partnering on a fellowship that will help remedy that situation.
It is the Beer History Studies Fellowship which is open to BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) MA students, PhD candidates, or post doctoral scholars who are researching beer and who have a specific need for research in the Newberry Library collection.
I am hoping that initiatives like this will bring forth more beer books for me to read and review.
