We&#8217;re not sure why, but I understand it has something to do with tech being a dead end. He&#8217;s posted <a href=\"http:\/\/pintday.org\/evan\/thesis\/\" title=\"John Barleycorn must die\">his thesis<\/a> online, and it&#8217;s a great read. He weaves the history of beer with folklore, and puts forth a pretty compelling argument to turn breweries into something that match the history and message brewers give when they talk about their craft.<\/p>\n<p>It provides some interesting insight into the process, and provides his view of how you&#8217;d meld the craft and the community the craft is performed in without losing either of the two. It&#8217;s the first time I&#8217;ve ever read an architectural document of any kind, and it covers a lot of ground on the thought process behind a design project. It also involves beer, so it&#8217;s hard to wrong with that in my books.<\/p>\n<p>A good read. Recommended.
