Maybe I am just not a ‘Zine type of guy. Keep that in mind for this review, mileage may vary.
The first ever Final Gravity is a nice amount of pieces, ten all told. And the variety of writers and angles on craft beer is commendable too. But aside from Lauren Mack’s writing on re-creating Seipp Brewing, nothing really dazzled. And worse, there were two pieces, one about an artist and one about a touring musician that were barely tangential to beer.
The piece written by brewery owner Betty Bollas read more like a to-do calendar than a diary. There was just no spark to it.
I am hoping that issue 2 will have more interesting writing or I should amend to writing that maybe goes a little deeper and finds more of a rhythm to it.
