When you pick up a David McCullough book, you usually expect a sweeping, immersive journey through history — the kind of deep-dive that takes you from dusty archives to the front row of America’s most pivotal moments. McCullough has given us John Adams, Truman, 1776, The Wright Brothers — all hefty, research-packed works with rich storytelling.

The American Spirit by David McCullough

Book Blurb

This is the back of the book cover blurb, from GoodReads:

A New York Times Bestseller

A timely collection of speeches by David McCullough, the most honored historian in the United States—winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, two National Book Awards, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, among many others—that reminds us of fundamental American principles.

Over the course of his distinguished career, David McCullough has spoken before Congress, the White House, colleges and universities, historical societies, and other esteemed institutions. Now, at a time of self-reflection in America following a bitter election campaign that has left the country divided, McCullough has collected some of his most important speeches in a brief volume designed to identify important principles and characteristics that are particularly American. The American Spirit reminds us of core American values to which we all subscribe, regardless of which region we live in, which political party we identify with, or our ethnic background. This is a book about America for all Americans that reminds us who we are and helps to guide us as we find our way forward.

– The American Spirit: Who We Are and What We Stand For (David McCullough) (GoodReads)

Book Review

The American Spirit: Who We Are and What We Stand For is a different kind of book. It’s lean. It’s quick. And it’s made up of a series of speeches McCullough delivered over the years to graduating classes, historical societies, and civic groups. Instead of one continuous narrative, you get short, reflective pieces, each with its own flavor, but all circling the same big themes: history matters, citizenship matters, optimism matters.

McCullough reminds us that knowing where we’ve been is essential to knowing who we are. He encourages curiosity, engagement, and pride in our shared past. His words are measured, dignified, and carry the weight of someone who’s spent a lifetime studying the American story. This is McCullough in teacher mode — not lecturing, but nudging, encouraging, and sometimes outright challenging us to do better.

Where the book succeeds: it’s inspiring. In a world that feels fractured and noisy, McCullough’s voice cuts through like a calm, steady guide. If you need a reminder of the values that have held the country together — hard work, perseverance, civic duty — this delivers.

Where the book falls short: it’s repetitive. Because it’s a compilation of speeches, you’ll notice certain lines, anecdotes, and themes pop up again and again. That’s natural for live addresses given to different audiences, but when read back-to-back in book form, it can feel like déjà vu. And if you’re used to McCullough’s more in-depth historical works, this might feel a bit light on detail.

Still, as a “sipper” rather than a “full pour,” The American Spirit works. It’s a book you can read in short bursts — maybe a speech over coffee, or while waiting for your latest homebrew batch to boil — and walk away feeling just a little more hopeful about the American experiment.

Best for:

• Fans of McCullough who want something quick and uplifting.

• Readers who enjoy historically rooted reflections on patriotism and civic engagement.

• Anyone in need of a reminder that American history is more than dates and battles — it’s about values and the people who carry them forward.

Much like a good session beer, The American Spirit is easy to take in, doesn’t overwhelm, and leaves you with a pleasant aftertaste — even if it’s not the strongest pour in McCullough’s catalog.

Uncle John’s Beer-Topia

Uncle John’s Beer-Topia: A Frothy Adventure Through the World of Beer

If you’ve ever wondered about the intricacies of the craft beer world, from its ancient origins to the latest trends in hop varieties, then “Uncle John’s Beer-Topia” is the perfect read to satisfy your curiosity. Published by Portable Press, this hardcover book serves as a treasure trove of beer-related facts, stories, and oddities, all presented with the trademark humor and approachability you would expect from an “Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader” series book.

“Uncle John’s Beer-Topia” is not your typical beer encyclopedia. Instead, it offers a lively tour through the vast landscape of beer, making stops at historical milestones, quirky anecdotes, and the technical minutiae of brewing. This format is well-suited for readers who prefer bite-sized pieces of information that are as entertaining as they are educational. Each chapter is self-contained, allowing readers the freedom to dip in and out of topics as they please, which makes it a perfect companion for a lazy afternoon with a beer in hand.

One of the standout features of the book is its deep dive into the history and evolution of beer. The reader is taken on a journey from the ancient Sumerians, who are credited with the first recorded brewing activity, to the craft beer revolutions sweeping across the globe today. These historical insights are complemented by profiles of key personalities who have shaped the industry, from pioneering brewers to innovative hop farmers.

The book also excels in uncovering the lesser-known aspects of the beer world. For instance, did you know about the role beer played in the voyages of the Mayflower, or how different yeast strains impact the flavor profiles of beers? These details not only enrich the reader’s understanding but also add layers of depth to the simple act of enjoying a pint.

“Uncle John’s Beer-Topia” also addresses the craft of brewing, with sections dedicated to explaining the nuances of different beer styles, the importance of water quality, and the modern techniques used by brewers to push the boundaries of taste and aroma. For the aspiring brewer, these insights are invaluable, providing a foundation of knowledge that is both practical and inspirational.

However, what truly makes this book a delightful read is its humorous and light-hearted tone. The pages are peppered with puns, jokes, and playful illustrations that make the technical information feel more accessible and engaging. This approach not only makes learning about beer more enjoyable but also reflects the fun and communal spirit of the craft beer culture.

In conclusion, “Uncle John’s Beer-Topia” is a must-have for anyone with even a passing interest in beer. It is informative, entertaining, and visually engaging, making it as much a conversation starter as it is a reference guide. Whether you’re a seasoned beer connoisseur or a curious newcomer, this book offers a wealth of knowledge that will deepen your appreciation for this beloved beverage.

Philosophy and Craft Beer: A Confluence of Thought and Taste

Craft Beer and Philosophy

In the grand tapestry of human culture, two seemingly disparate threads have woven themselves into the fabric of society with unexpected synergy: philosophy and craft beer. At first glance, the contemplative world of philosophy, with its ancient roots and existential musings, appears worlds apart from the earthy, communal pleasures of craft beer. Yet, upon closer inspection, these two realms share a profound connection, both driven by a deep appreciation for complexity, a quest for authenticity, and an unyielding commitment to quality.

The Philosophical Roots of Craft Beer

Books and Beer

Craft beer, by definition, is a testament to the artisanal ethos, emphasizing small-scale production, traditional methods, and innovative flavors. This approach is inherently philosophical, reflecting a dedication to craftsmanship that echoes the ancient Greek concept of “techne” – a term that encapsulates both art and technology, where the creation process is as valued as the final product. Similarly, philosophy, from its inception, has been an endeavor to understand the essence of being, reality, and the virtues of a well-examined life. Both craft beer and philosophy celebrate the pursuit of excellence and the richness of experience, encouraging individuals to savor complexity and engage deeply with the world around them.

Craftsmanship as a Reflection of Existential Values

At the heart of craft beer culture is a celebration of uniqueness and authenticity, qualities that are deeply resonant with existentialist philosophy. This philosophical movement posits that individuals are free and responsible for infusing their lives with meaning, a notion mirrored in the craft brewer’s quest to create a beer that is not only distinctive but also tells a story. Each batch is a tangible expression of the brewer’s values, creativity, and response to the existential challenge of carving out a niche in a world dominated by mass-produced goods. The craft beer enthusiast, in turn, engages in a kind of existential practice, choosing beers that reflect their personal taste and identity, and thus asserting their individuality in a homogenized world.

The Socratic Method and the Culture of Craft Beer

A craft beer cartoon with a bit of a philosophical bent to it.

Socrates, the classical Greek philosopher, championed the importance of dialogue and inquiry in the pursuit of wisdom. This Socratic method, based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking, finds a modern parallel in the culture surrounding craft beer. Tasting sessions, beer festivals, and brewpub gatherings are often characterized by lively discussions, not just about the beer itself, but about a wide array of topics, fostering a sense of community and shared inquiry. In these settings, beer enthusiasts and brewers alike engage in a form of dialectic, where the exchange of ideas and the articulation of taste preferences lead to a deeper appreciation of the beverage and each other’s company.

The Pursuit of Authenticity and Meaning

In the contemporary landscape, where the ephemeral often overshadows the enduring, craft beer stands as a bastion of authenticity. This is a concept deeply explored in existential and phenomenological philosophy, which emphasizes the importance of authentic existence and the direct experience of the world. By choosing craft beer, individuals participate in a larger narrative of resisting the commodification of culture and the dilution of personal expression. Each pint is a reminder of the potential to craft meaning in one’s life, to celebrate the idiosyncratic, and to engage fully with the present moment.

Philosophy

Books and Beer

The convergence of philosophy and craft beer is a testament to the human yearning for depth, authenticity, and community. Through the lens of craft beer, we are invited to explore philosophical themes of existence, meaning, and the art of living. As we savor the complexity of a well-crafted brew, we are reminded of the richness of the human experience and the value of a life well examined. In this confluence of thought and taste, philosophy and craft beer emerge not as mere academic or sensory pleasures but as vital expressions of the enduring quest for a fulfilled and authentic existence.

Philosophers have often engaged with the subject of beer and alcohol more broadly, not so much in direct analysis of the beverage itself but rather through the lens of its social, ethical, and existential implications. Their reflections can provide intriguing insights into the human experience, social customs, and the pursuit of happiness. Here are a few philosophical angles on the topic of beer:

The Social Fabric and Communal Bonding

Plato, in his dialogues, often depicted scenes of social gatherings where wine (and by extension, we can consider beer) played a central role in fostering dialogue and camaraderie among participants. While he cautioned against excess, Plato acknowledged the value of such social lubricants in facilitating philosophical discussion and bonding. The communal aspect of beer drinking, where individuals come together to share stories and enjoy each other’s company, echoes this Platonic ideal of communal bonding and intellectual exchange.

Moderation and the Good Life

Aristotle’s concept of the “Golden Mean,” where virtue is found in the balance between excess and deficiency, can be applied to the consumption of beer. From this perspective, beer drinking can be seen as a component of the good life, as long as it is enjoyed in moderation and contributes to, rather than detracts from, one’s overall well-being and fulfillment. Aristotle’s emphasis on moderation aligns with a responsible approach to beer, advocating for its enjoyment in a way that harmonizes with a balanced and ethical lifestyle.

Beer as a Symbol of the Simple Pleasures

Epicurus, the ancient Greek philosopher who advocated for the pursuit of pleasure (in moderation) as the primary goal of life, might have seen beer as embodying the simple, attainable pleasures that contribute to a happy life. For Epicurus, the greatest pleasures were those that satisfied natural and necessary desires, such as the need for food, drink, and friendship. Beer, in its modesty and its role in social settings, could be viewed as a perfect example of an Epicurean pleasure—simple, enjoyable, and conducive to friendship.

Existential Reflections

Existential philosophers like Søren Kierkegaard and Jean-Paul Sartre often explored themes of authenticity, choice, and individuality. While they didn’t specifically focus on beer, their philosophies invite us to consider our choices around beer and alcohol in the context of authentic living. Choosing to drink beer, what type of beer one prefers, and how one engages with the culture of beer drinking can reflect broader existential choices about who we are and how we assert our individuality and authenticity in a world of conforming pressures.

Critique of Consumerism

Finally, contemporary philosophers and social critics might examine beer, especially craft beer, through the lens of consumerism and cultural identity. In a world dominated by mass-produced goods, craft beer stands as a counter-narrative that values quality, locality, and artisanal skill. Philosophers interested in the critique of consumer culture might see the craft beer movement as a form of resistance to globalization and homogenization, representing a desire for authenticity, community, and a more meaningful engagement with the products we consume.

In summary, while philosophers may not often speak directly about beer, the implications of beer drinking touch upon many philosophical themes including moderation, pleasure, community, authenticity, and resistance to consumerism. Beer, in all its simplicity, serves as a rich subject for philosophical inquiry, revealing insights into human nature, society, and the pursuit of a good life.

Quoting Philosophers About Beer

Three Philosophers by Ommegang Brewery

While philosophers have traditionally engaged with questions of existence, ethics, knowledge, and the nature of reality, there are a few instances where they have directly or indirectly touched upon the subject of beer. Their comments on beer often reveal a lighter side, providing a humorous or reflective perspective on this beloved beverage. Here are a few notable quotes:

1. Plato: While not directly about beer, this quote is often humorously adapted to fit the topic: “He was a wise man who invented beer.” The original sentiment reflects the appreciation of inventions and innovations that improve human life, and the adapted quote humorously assigns high value to the creation of beer.
2. Benjamin Franklin: Often mistakenly attributed with saying, “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy,” Franklin’s actual quote was about wine. The real quote from a letter written by Franklin to André Morellet in 1779 is: “Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards; there it enters the roots of the vines, to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy.” The sentiment, however, is frequently co-opted into the world of beer enthusiasts.
3. Martin Luther: The German theologian and pivotal figure of the Protestant Reformation is quoted as saying, “Whoever drinks beer, he is quick to sleep; whoever sleeps long, does not sin; whoever does not sin, enters Heaven! Thus, let us drink beer!” While the authenticity of this quote is debated, it humorously suggests a virtuous cycle involving beer and moral conduct.
4. Arthur Schopenhauer: The German philosopher, known for his pessimistic philosophy, reportedly had a more light-hearted view on beer, suggesting its social and pleasurable aspects. However, a direct quote about beer specifically is hard to come by.
5. Thomas Aquinas: While not a direct quote about beer, St. Thomas Aquinas, the Italian Dominican friar and philosopher, wrote extensively about moderation and the virtue of temperance. He argued for the moderate use of alcohol, suggesting that it could be used for enjoyment without excess. His philosophy implies a balanced approach to pleasures like beer, valuing them insofar as they contribute to the well-being of the person without leading to intemperance.

Beer, a timeless companion to humanity, has left an indelible mark on the pages of history and literature. From ancient civilizations to the modern craft beer movement, the influence of beer on literary works is as rich and diverse as the beverages themselves.

Ancient Ale: Beer’s Literary Roots

In ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, beer was more than a mere drink; it was a cultural cornerstone. The Hymn to Ninkasi, a Sumerian ode dating back to 1800 BCE, not only praised the goddess of brewing but also served as a recipe for making beer. Similarly, in ancient Egyptian texts, beer was a vital part of daily life and religious ceremonies, laying the foundation for beer’s enduring relationship with literature and culture.

Medieval Manuscripts: Ale and Artistry

During the Middle Ages, European monasteries became hubs of brewing excellence. Monks, dedicated to perfecting the craft, not only brewed exceptional beers but also documented their knowledge in some of the earliest brewing manuals. These texts not only imparted technical know-how but also exuded a deep reverence for the art of brewing, showcasing the fusion of devotion, science, and artistry.

Literary Libations: Beer in Classic Literature

Beer found its way into the works of literary giants. Shakespeare, a known beer enthusiast, wove references to ale and beer throughout his plays, offering insights into the social dynamics of his era. In Victorian literature, beer served as a symbol of social interaction and the vibrant life of public houses, vividly depicted by authors like Charles Dickens.

Craft Beer and Contemporary Literature

The modern craft beer movement has not only transformed the beer landscape but has also inspired contemporary authors. Books like “The Brewmaster’s Table” and “Man Walks into a Pub” not only delve into the flavors and making of craft beer but also explore its cultural impact, reflecting societal changes and human experiences.

Beer and Poetry: A Frothy Fusion

Surprisingly, beer and poetry have harmonized seamlessly in modern verses, with poets using beer as a metaphor to explore themes of joy, nostalgia, and human connection. Beer emerges as a symbol of life’s simple pleasures and the warmth of human camaraderie, adding a frothy layer to poetic expressions.

Hops and Humor: The Lighter Side of Beer Literature

Humor and beer have long been intertwined, from playful beer advertisements to lighthearted beer reviews. This whimsical approach not only makes beer more relatable but also mirrors its role in fostering a sense of community and joy, creating a literary world as effervescent as the beverages themselves.

Coda

In conclusion, the bond between beer and literature runs deep, weaving through the annals of history and the vibrant tapestry of contemporary culture. As long as people continue to write, brew, and savor, the enduring connection between beer and literature will continue to inspire and delight for years to come. So, the next time you raise a glass of your favorite beer, savor not just the brew but also the history and literature it embodies.
