But in contemporary Bolivia, where Larsen makes his home, his recent clash with the authorities is but another instance of rising tension over land-ownership between, on the one hand, left-wing President Evo Morales and his supporters among Bolivia's indigenous population, and on the other, political opponents backed by the country's wealthy eastern...

He generally uses British hops, which I found easier to take. Larsen says he's more interested in making "session beers"--you can drink several at a time--than in producing the extreme beers...
...third-place finish on Saturday in the club eight division. This was a good sign of things to come for the heavyweights, as this boat’s success signifies a strong, deep program. “They had a phenomenal race,” senior co-captain Laura Larsen-Strecker said. “It’s really exciting—we’re just going to take that speed and go.” And even more impressive than the freshman eight’s result was the way in which the boat attained it.
