The Brewery of the Future: a Shipstead

November 15, 2010

Via the Guardian, (HT Sconzey) the beer brewer SABMiller foresees new ways to draw a pint:

“The descriptions are intended as food for thought rather than as blueprints for building new facilities. However, the example of the brewery on a ship is entirely feasible. It would allow for rapid entry to new markets, especially where no infrastructure is in place. It would also provide flexibility in positioning and length of stay and allow SABMiller to move with water sources, with people, with crops, or even away from severe weather, natural disasters or political instability.”

As Frank Zappa said, “You can’t have a real country unless you have a beer and an airline – it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.”

    Wow – genius! I missed that one – reminds of the resistance in Terminator Movies residing on nuclaar submarines, always fleeing from the technocratic authorities
