Sorry...curiousity got the better of me.

Although the U.S. drinking age is pertinent to this discussion (since it 
was being used as a benchmark), my chief concern is in the TEACHING of 
historical brewing techniques...especially, how we define who should be 
allowed access to the information. (The very statement of the last topic is 
offensive to me.)

Personally, I believe the most important aspect of historical brewing is 
passing the information on to others...not just acquiring it. There is 
simply no place in teaching for avoidance and paranoia.

Sincerely,
Chuck Graves
