Beer Habits Go Upscale

Today's interview with Amy Mittelman, author of Brewing Battles: A History of American Beer, continues the business-of-pleasure series, which explores industries that create products we enjoy. Not included in the published interview: Mittelman's own beverage habits. She says she regularly drinks beer, especially craft brews such as Smutty Nose and High and Mighty, which her friend makes.

Craft beer, made by small, independent brewers, has surged in popularity over the past few years. Do you have a favorite? Or are you sticking with cheaper brews in light of the economy?

I drink beer like I drink wine, with food or for a certain event, occasion. I drink nice, full Belgium beers during the winter and tend to stray towards everything Bells Brewery if I am going American (Bells Oberon all summer long for sure
). But being from St. Louis, if I need a cheap case I'll grab some buds.
