I'm dictating folder names into my notes app for a collection today and my phone recorded Hallertauer as "Holler towel," "Hall Tower," "Haller town," and "Hollerado." Clearly I need to work on my pronunciation. #hopshistory
I did an oral history with Alex in 2018 and sat on a keg for the whole interview. It didn’t matter because it was just a lovely interview with an interesting person.
Each Friday will be a "Finding Aid Friday” on the OHBA blog, so be on the lookout for those posts starting here September 26!
