Thugs on Drugs Yes, it's true that we in Britain need to listen to youngsters and focus on helping them [April 7]. But at the same time, we need to introduce new laws to stop teenage crime. We need to be very tough on guns, drugs and alcohol. Parents and teachers should be given more of a role in building children's character. They should be allowed to take the actions they deem necessary for kids' benefit. Hasan Raza Gondal, Birmingham, England...
...many of its 46 brewhouses are brewpubs, which produce beer only for their own bars, and part of the fun of a beer tour is seeing where bottles you can buy at home are manufactured. San Diego may have a more innovative beer scene--guys experimenting with huge alcohol and huge bitterness--but it has only 28 breweries, and the intensity of the beer will freak out anyone who grew up on Bud.

[40 mL] bottle), a high alcohol content (as much as 18%) and a high IBU count (more than 100, which is a whole lot when you consider that Budweiser's is 8.5). "We make beer for weirdos," explains president Adam Avery. For dinner, we went to the Kitchen, a local organic restaurant, where our waiter knew...
Final clubs, Quad parties, fake IDs—it is through these techniques that most Harvard students gain their appreciation and understanding of beer. But one group of freshman is taking a more scholarly approach to their alcohol education in the new freshman seminar, “Principles of Industrial Fermentation: Beer, Wine, Bioethanol, and Beyond...
