Look! Look at this! This is beautiful fermenting beer, in a Yorkshire stone square fermenter at the Old Brewery in Tadcaster, where they brew Sam Smith beers. Everyone loves American Craft Beer, but it's so important, in my opinion, to keep alive the original, traditional styles born in Germany, the Czech Republic, the British Isles, and Belgium. The Old Brewery is OLD! They've been brewing beers since 1758, using whole cone hops, oak casks for all their naturally conditioned ales, and the same yeast strain since the 1800s. They must be doing something right. 
Next time, we'll open an old-world style Sam Smith India Ale and a new-world style American IPA, and talk about them.
