Tepache’s origins date to before the 1500s in ce

Tepache’s origins date to before the 1500s in central Mexico,” writes Javier Cabral (@theglutster) in his latest for Imbibe. The root word is from Nahuatl (Mexico’s Aztec language), meaning “drink made from corn,” since that was what tepache was originally fermented from, mostly for ritualistic practices. Pineapple is native to the Americas. The earliest archeological records for the fruit in Mexico go back to 200 BCE–700 AD. It’s believed that tepache transitioned from corn to pineapple (and other tropical fruits like guavas and tamarind) in the latter half of that period. The fruits that are used to make tepache change according to the region to this day.

One midnight during fall a couple of years ago, @HighlandBrewing in Asheville, North Carolina, opened online sign-ups for its sand volleyball leagues, writes @JoshMBernstein. Teams could register at their leisure, maybe over morning coffees or evening beers. Instead, the night owls got the net: Every league slot vanished within 30 minutes, and the waiting list ballooned with players seeking to serve and spike on the three courts. “We couldn’t accommodate everybody that wanted to play,” says President and CEO Leah Wong Ashburn, who has played volleyball since high school.

Many breweries are maxed out on square footage, but Highland has abundant acreage—40, to be exact, including an 18-hole disc golf course. So the brewery, located about five minutes outside downtown Asheville, built two additional sand courts this year. The courts bustle daily with a blend of league play, tournaments, and pickup games that attract area athletes. That’s a boon in tourism-driven Asheville. “We’ve been able to augment our local guest attendance with the leagues because you’ve got to make that commitment every week,” Ashburn says. Wipe off the sweat, then wind down with a cold Gaelic Ale. “It’s deepening the experience at the brewery.”

Head to the link in our bio to read more from Josh about how the bond between beer and sports is deepening in breweries around the country.

With a career that started in the mid-1970s and continued until his death in 2021, bar owner and Tequila Ocho co-founder Tomas Estes helped change the way we drink, and think about, tequila. The Tequila Ambassador V.O., a fully revised version of his book, was released this spring, and today on Radio Imbibe we talk with the team that helped bring it together: his longtime friend and colleague @PhilBayly, his son and Tequila Ocho global ambassador Jesse Estes (@jesseocho), and the book’s editor, Mitch Wilson (@mitchsaidthis). Tune in via the link in our bio or wherever you get podcasts.
