A Podcast & A Beer – Throwback

This month we head back in time to re-analyze the 1991 Womens World Cup team. Not the famous 1999 Cup though some of the face are the same. This is the team that drew the publicity that would be amplified in ’99 with players like Michelle Akers, Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy and Christine Lilly.

Throwback the podcast from Grant Wahl, the soccer guru at SI has interviews with key figures and traces what happened way back when.

I would like to choose some French beers since this year’s Cup is in France but that is a bit difficult so instead let’s go with breweries that were around back then. Let’s have some Black Butte Porter from Deschutes, some Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and other standard bearers of the age from around the country. Or you could tack to female brewers, maybe pick a crowler up from Arts District Brewing, perhaps Traction IPA since this was the year that Women’s soccer gained some.

Lots of good stuff on tap for May (now that the blog is back up and viewable). There will be weekly nods to the upcoming Firestone Walker Invitational as well as a report from Oregon where I will be heading back to the alma mater.

~ e-visits to three breweries from the New England area.
~ special featured reviews of two new cans from L.A. Ale Works
~ Heads-Up on Los Angeles Beer Events
~ Three suggested beers to buy this month. One light, one medium and one dark
~ A Book & A Beer reads whatever the library finds for me from my long list!
~ I will tap the Firkin and give my no holds barred opinion on the craft beer world.

Here are two events to get your May started in the Los Angeles craft beer world:
1) May 4th – System of a Stout Release at Beachwood
2) May 13th – Mother’s Day at Boomtown Brewery
