Master Po and Grasshopper.
Obi-Wan and the Skywalker lad.
Miyagi and Daniel-san.
The “Wise Old Man” archetype as described by Jung surfaces throughout literary history because it is such a prevalent relationship, the handing down of vital information from mentor to pupil.
And when it comes to vital information, the craft of brewing beer, in light of human history, would certainly crack the Top 5 of Most Important Lessons.
So, it is with great pleasure, and no small amount of pride, that we will soon be introducing the first batch of Chattahoochee Brown to be handled from hot wort to cold beer by Brewmaster Hank’s protégé, Doug.
Hank is by no means old, but it does take a wise man to not only brew good beer, but to guarantee that far and future Pub-Flies will experience and enjoy The Spirit of 1041.
So, come down to the Cannon Brew Pub to raise a pint of Chattahoochee Brown to Doug’s inaugural pour, and relish your particular vantage in Beer’s long and lush parade through history.
