People often ask me how I come up my story ideas. I typically spot a brewery doing something and I wonder: Why? Then I look for rhythms and repetitions, linking different examples together until I can tell a larger story about why breweries are uniquely coalescing around an unusual approach and how it fits into broader themes. And that's how I wrote my latest VinePair article about breweries making beers with unusual water sources such as cactus water and maple sap.
