PREORDER Final Gravity Issue 13

Issue 13 of Final Gravity, a print beer zine that shares personal, human-centered stories from the world of beer, is now available for preorder and will ship the first week of August. Preorders get free domestic shipping!

Rather than a typical glossy beer mag, Final Gravity is an old school stapled zine, but with paid writing and art. It tells the stories that don’t often make it into the pages of beer magazines, the stories that together weave the fabric of the collective beer experience.

In this issue, Alisha Miranda takes us behind the scenes of Puerto Rico’s growing craft beer scene, examining both the unique challenges and opportunities faced by the island’s small brewers.

Anaïs Lecoq profiles art-focused and -inspired French brewery Fauve Craft Bière, where every new beer label is a canvas on which their expansive stable of artists can express themselves.

Melinda Guerra talks about the unique camaraderie and mutual support experienced in [usually] women’s restrooms at bars and breweries, and how some establishments are leaning into this by offering support literature, period supplies, and other provisions in their bathrooms.

Christopher A. Smith takes us to his beloved New Orleans to take the city’s temperature at a point when ICE was preparing a terror campaign in a city’s who very identity is built on multi-cultural celebration.

Here’s the complete list of stories in this issue:

  1. Travel Companions: On Leaving, Lager, and Loss by Dean Brightman
