After a year of increasingly dire developments at the pioneering PNW craft brewer, last month it abruptly shuttered all its locations, declaring bankruptcy the day before Thanksgiving. At @vinepair.com, I charted Rogue's rise & fall against the fate of the craft-brewing industry it helped to create.
Rogue Is a Case Study in Craft Brewery Collapse

The oldest homebrew shop in America is closing. FH Steinbart was not just a small business, though—it was a critical part of the connective tissue that helped make Portland Beervana.

Half a lifetime ago, I packed a bag and moved to Dresden, Germany, for the summer. This fall I went back twice to research a weekend guide to the Saxon capital for @nytimes.com Travel. (It’s still funky, especially dear old Neustadt. BRN forever, my dudes.)

It’s odd how much news there is lately that relates to my new book. Tariffs. Pissed off ranchers. High meat prices, etc.
This is a good concise look at the complexities of meat from @willgottsegen.com.

Cattle ranchers are suddenly at odds with a president who was once their champion, @willgottsegen.com writes in The Atlantic Daily.

Torn between supporting ranchers and bringing down prices, the president is trying to have it both ways on beef.

From Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle in 1906 to today, middle class & wealthy consumers have fretted about food safety and demanded reform, but cared much less about worker safety and welfare. This article makes us attend to the people and places that deliver all that delectable fish to our tables.

Guzmán, an immigrant from Mexico, had a pending petition for asylum and a pending application for a visa for victims of crime. That didn't stop ICE from separating her from her 15-day-old infant in NICU. 19thnews.org/2025/12/post... via @19thnews.org
Her baby was in the NICU. She was in ICE detention.
Before Trump took office, postpartum immigrants were rarely detained by ICE. Nayra Guzmán was detained while her 15-day-old baby was in the NICU.

The incredible ‘Orkney Hood’ from Scotland! 🏴
So well preserved it looks like it was woven yesterday rather than some 1,500 years ago!
It’s thought the hood was made for a child. Found in 1867 in a peat bog in St Andrews Parish, Orkney.
