The 20th edition of beer magazine Original Gravity has been launched in print and online, with the theme of time and memory.
Editor, Exeter-based Adrian Tierney-Jones, said: “Boak and Bailey have seized upon the Portuguese word ‘saudade’, which describes a vague, melancholy yearning for something/someone/somewhere that has been lost, or is slipping away, and applied it in their own distinctive way to beer.
“Pete Brown investigates the fifth (or missing) ingredient of beer — time — something which it is all too easy to forget about in this world of Sunny Delight-lookalike IPAs, whose brewers call for them to be drank as soon as the can is brought home.
“Talking of time, it’s 100 years since the war to end all wars came to an end, and Katrien Bruyland tells the tale of that most enduring of Belgian beers, Duvel (and also manages to uncover an intriguing connection it has with Leffe).
“Elsewhere, San Francisco and Belfast’s pubs are celebrated with gusto, I try to understand what led me to end up writing about beer, and we celebrate heritage beers and anatomise porter.”
