Ann Arbor author covers Michigan beer history from Prohibition to brewpubs in new book

ANN ARBOR, MI -- Whether you drink Miller Lite or brew your own stouts, one Ann Arbor teacher’s new book is set to teach you about Michigan’s boozy history. Patti Smith, a teacher with the Ann Arbor Public Schools, recently published “Michigan Beer: A Heady History,” her fifth traditionally published book and fourth historical book. Smith has also written “Vanishing Ann Arbor,” “Downtown Ann Arbor” and “A History of the People’s Food Co-op Ann Arbor.”“Michigan Beer” starts with Michigan immigrants in the mid-1880s and goes through what she calls “the new wave” of beer with the return of brewpubs to the state in the 1980s. While the book covers primarily Michigan beer history, there is also something for those who are less interested in brewing or specialty beers, Smith said. Despite her familiarity with both beer and historical books, the process for writing “Michigan Beer” was different than she expected.

Former US Ambassador to Ukraine to be honored by PEN America

Ambassador to Ukraine who was forced out of her job last year by the Trump administration, is being honored by PEN America. The alleged attempt to make a foreign government investigate a political opponent led to Trump's impeachment in December on two counts by the Democratic-run House. “At a time when, for government officials, standing on principle can spell an end to a professional career, Ambassador Yovanovitch did not flinch or falter,” said Suzanne Nossel, CEO of PEN America, said in a statement. She will be among the guests Dec. 8 at PEN's annual gala, to be held online because of the coronavirus pandemic. Others receiving awards will include author and musician Patti Smith and Chinese dissident Xu Zhiyong.

Chinese dissident Xu Zhiyong to be honored by PEN America

NEW YORK Xu Zhiyong, a prominent Chinese activist and legal scholar detained by the government since earlier this year, is being honored by PEN America. Xu's award comes on the 31st anniversary of the so-called Tiananmen Square Massacre, when Chinese soldiers shot and killed pro-democracy demonstrators. The 47-year-old Xu has strongly criticized Chinese leader Xi Jinping for his handling of the coronavirus outbreak. You didnt authorise the truth to be released, and the outbreak turned into a national disaster, Xu wrote in February, shortly before he was detained. PEN will highlight Xu's life and work at its annual gala, scheduled for December 8 in Manhattan after being postponed from May because of the coronavirus.
