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.
