Grains and Grapes: The Story of Alcohol
Taught by j soma
Soma was born in the South, is what someone from the North would say. He cooks for fun, codes for hire, and has more hobbies than can dance on the head of a pin. His work has been featured everywhere from Gawker to The New York Times.

This is an old class! Enjoy the notes, and check out the current courses.
We drink a lot of alcohol, and we've been doing it for a long long time.
We'll tackle history! The gradual move from dirty sticks in sticky water to gleaming machines and steaming pipes, and all the political scheming that popped up along the way. Prohibition changed everything!
Dispel a few myths! How you can open a bourbon distillery in Alaska, and why moonshine won't make you blind.
Brush up on your science! How exactly do sugar and yeast team up to help you make bad decisions at 4AM?
Rejoice in fun facts! Some drinks are made out of mold, and others are relics of our inability to make good alcohol. These will make you fun at bars.
Note: We won't be drinking, because otherwise I'd go broke. You'll be getting drunk on facts.
