The first newspaper I worked at in Homer, Alaska,was across the street and down the hill from thelocal brewery. We often joked about running apipeline from their brewery to our offices. Andwhile that plan never went beyond pipe dreams, Idid often stop by on my way home to pick up agrowler.
One of my favorite treats was a porterfloat. Like a root beer float except withrich, chocolately porter. Mmmm.
That year in Homer was educational formany reasons, one of them being myintroduction to good beer.
In college I drank what was cheap or evenbetter — free. Generally that meant BuschLight or if we were feeling frisky Bud Light.
Not that there is anything wrong with either.I’m still known to toss back both from time totime, and our fridge is generally stocked withsome of the latter.
But, it was in Homer that I learned that beer couldbe something to be enjoyed, savored. Not justpumped into a plastic cup and chugged.
By no means am I a connoisseur, like Joe Hotek, oneof the Bier Guys at John’s Grocery in Iowa City. He’spictured on page 12 surrounded by row upon row ofsix-packs. And he could probably name them all and tellyou the characteristics of each.
That I cannot do.
But I do know the difference between an ale and alager. I know, for example, that among the ales, an
IPA is going to have a strong bitterness from the hops,and a porter will be smoother, full flavored and dark,while a stout is dark and more bitter.
And I’ll try any of them at least once.
You see, while we on the West Coast may be famous for ourparticularity about coffee, we are similarly picky about beer.And much the same way I have been pleased to see coffeeshops sprout up and flourish in Eastern Iowa, I love theincreasing popularity of microbrews locally.
Hotek says its because more bars are offering microbrews ontap. I could buy that argument. While it could be intimidatingto buy an entire six-pack of a beer you’ve never tried, you’renot out as much if you order just one draw.
Places like John’s Grocery and Benz Beverage Depot also haveamazing selections of microbrews. You can even build-your-own six-pack. Then there’s places like Millstream Brewery inthe Amanas or Third Base Brewery in Cedar Rapids where youcan get beer brewed on site. Not sure what you want? Ask fortastes.
There are also lots of opportunities for tasting at eventsthroughout the year. Coming up Oct. 16 is BrewNost, whichbenefits the National Czech and Slovak Museum, and is co-hosted by John’s Grocery.
They also host Iowa City BrewFest every September. Amanahas an annual Oktoberfest celebration; Millstream a BeerFestival in September and Benz hosts a Beer Fest in thespring. Check both Benz and Millstreams’ Web sites for alineup of events. Find them at www.benzbeveragedepot.com and www.millstreambrewing.com
So many options. My only complaint is that I still can’t get myfavorite beer here in Iowa. If someone could figure out how toget Alaskan Amber sold locally, I’d appreciate it.

When Joe Hotek, a University of Iowacinema major, isn’t studying for an exam oradding the finishing touches to a class filmproject, it’s likely he’s studying beer.
You’re probably thinking a lot of collegestudents “study beer” in their spare time, butJoe Hotek is different.
He doesn’t just like beer. He considers himselfan advocate for the brew.
During his sophomore year of college he beganworking at John’s Grocery, the iconic family-run corner market in Iowa City that offers animpressive stock of imported and microbrewedbeer and is known as Dirty John’s to locals.
“Working at John’s really opened my eyes to thesophisticated nature of beer,” says Hotek, one of thegrocery’s infamous Bier Guys. “It’s an art form. It’scomplex and extremely enjoyable.”
“At one time, I was like 98 percent of beer consumers.I drank an American light lager style beer, but I look atit differently now,” he says. “I’m not a beer snob, but I’vefound beer is just as sophisticated as wine. There’s a vibrant
world of flavors out there, making it really enjoyable to drink.”
He can’t imagine developing his knowledge of beer in any other placethan Iowa City.
“It’s beer Mecca,” he says.
Hotek’s interest in beer may have started at John’s, but it hasn’t stoppedthere. It wasn’t long before he found himself reading beer magazines andresearching beers online.
“It helped that I had friends in beer trading circles,” he says. “I attendedbeer samplings with people who really knew a lot about beer. They helpedme to develop my palate. It is particularly helpful if you enter into it withan open mind and enthusiasm.”
Interest in craft beers has expanded in the Iowa City area, partly he thinksbecause bars have begun to offer microbrewed beers like New Belgium,brewed in Colorado.
He likes to attend beer tasting events and share what he’s learned withcustomers at John’s.
“Everyone is welcome,” he says. “Anyone who is curious, or just wantsto know more, will learn a lot and will probably be surprised by all theoptions out there.”

Winthrop native Michelle Monaghan cannow add “truck driver” to her impressiveresume.
After several years of pairing up withHollywood bigwigs like Tom Cruise andPatrick Dempsey, she switched gears tomake the big rig indie film, “Trucker.” Itopens in limited release Friday, includingat the Starlight Cinema in Independencenear Monaghan’s hometown. Thefilm keeps rolling through theatersnationwide the rest of October.
Monaghan, 33, has the lead role, a“female truck driver who loves the openroad, loves being her own boss. She’s alsoa mother who has not had a relationshipwith her son for 12 years. As the movieopens, he turns up at her doorstep.
“She has to take her son in and developa relationship with him and takeresponsibility. She is not prepared to dothat,” Monaghan says by phone fromNew York City, where she now lives withhusband Peter White and their daughter,Willow, born Nov. 5, 2008.
Monaghan grew up with one foot intown and one foot on the farm, but shehadn’t driven a truck before signing onto the film, shot in Riverside, Calif., in 19days in 2007.
She got her commercial driver’s licenseso she could get behind the wheel forreal and says driving a semi is “amazing.”
“I miss driving it,” she adds. “It’s anincredible challenge, scary, but a lot offun.”
A self-described tomboy who likesto do her own stunts, she says, “Anyopportunity to run, jump, shoot a gun,kiss a guy — any action I can get. I alsohave to throw a baseball in the movie,”she says with a laugh.
While Monaghan has made numerousstudio films — “Eagle Eye,” “Made ofHonor,” “Mission: Impossible III,” “Mr. &Mrs. Smith” and “The Bourne Supremacy”— she also enjoys the different feel ofshooting an independent film.
“As an actor, you have a lot morecreative control, you have more accessto the cast and crew with independentfilms that you don’t have with studiofilms. You work at a really fast pace— it’s really exciting, like doing a highschool film or a short film,” she says.
She’s also happy the film is coming homefor its theatrical release.
She says the Starlight in Independence
is “a great little theater in a great littletown. I hope people far and wide cometo see it.”
“It’s a wonderful film, a small littlepoignant film,” she says. “Anybody whogives it a chance won’t be disappointed.I want to thank everybody for theirsupport. I’m really proud to be fromEastern Iowa.”
She gets back to visit her folks, Boband Sharon Monaghan, about everythree months. Her parents still live inWinthrop, while her older brothers arenearby — John lives in Cedar Falls andBob lives in Cedar Rapids.
In another month, she’ll start workingon the comedy “Due Date,” the nextproject from Todd Phillips, director of theoutrageous buddy flick, “The Hangover.”
Her co-stars are Zach Galifianakis, alsofrom “The Hangover,” and Robert DowneyJr., who plays her husband.
“I’m nine months pregnant and thesetwo leading men are in a mad rush to gethome to me before the baby pops,” shesays. “I’ve worked with Robert before. I’mreally excited. I get to wear a pregnantsuit, which I’m kind of excited about.”

PintsandPigskins Are you ready for some football?{
Reader suggestion time. Week Five of theMonday Night Football Bar Tour brings usto Mulligan’s, 1060 Old Marion Rd., in CedarRapids for a matchup between the New YorkJets and the Miami Dolphins.
If you couldn’t tell from the name, golf isthe primary theme of this bar. Golf walldecorations, fairway green paint on the walland their menu is even littered with golfterminology. The bar is pretty spacious, withplenty of high top bar tables throughout andlots of neon signs and posters. Mulligan’seven has a small stage area in the back forlive music. They also have an outdoor patiowhere you can enjoy the last few fall nightsduring halftime.
I’m happy to announce that Mulligan’s setsthe Monday Night Football Bar Tour recordfor number of TVs. There are 30 — in all theright spots, so everyone has a good line ofsight to watch all the action. I was also veryhappy to see the game being shown in highdefinition.
Mulligan’s has a wide assortment of draftbeer, as well as a full variety of tallboys andbottles. The bar is large, with TVs mountedon the inside of the cabinets, so you canhave a large TV all to yourself if you choosenot to sit at a table.
The food a Mulligan’s is great. Pizza,burgers, sandwiches and even some entréeitems. I particularly liked the spinach andartichoke dip. The pizza didn’t blow meaway, but it met my expectations for ‘barpizza.’
And finally a bar with a Monday NightFootball special. Mulligan’s offers a pitcherof domestic beer and a burger basket for$10. That’s a fantastic deal and one that ishard to pass up.
Mulligan’s is a great spot to catch thegame and it will be rolled into my regularrotation. Good food, lots of TVs, goodservice and plenty of space for you andyour group to catch the game. This one is awinner.

{BEHINDthebar Jason Stout knowsthe tricks of the trade
How long have you been behindthe bar?I’ve been bartending for a little over fiveyears now; with Volume for two.
What is unique about Volume?Volume has the live music in one area witha dance floor and club music in another. It isa great combo for those that have differentinterests. You can have a group of peoplesomeone wanting to dance, another wantingto just kick back and listen to live music.They can come in and both be happy.
What are some bartending tricksthat keep customers entertained?There are some physical tricks you can doif you have the time — popping bottle caps,throwing shot glasses behind your head.People also appreciate when you pick up ontheir drink of choice. Most of the time youcan assume after someone orders somethinga few times they will stick with it and have
it ready for them when they come in.
What percentage of bartending isskill versus personality?I think it depends on the bar. In the case ofVolume, it’s definitely 50/50. We have hightraffic and have to turn out a lot of drinks atonce which requires some skill to manage.The personality can come through in thosefew seconds you have to make a connectionwith the customer.
What’s the strangest drink you’vehad ordered?This is a recent one — tequila and red bull.A lot of people have been ordering it and Ithought it was strange. I did try it though,just to see what it was like.
And?Not as bad as I thought it would be.

CLEANPLATEclub { Sampling the Corridorone plate at a time withAndrea Dietzenbach.
I venture forth yet again into theunknown lands of North Liberty.Forgive me, I’m almost done readinga Lord of the Rings-esque book andseem to be channeling the language.My last dinner in North Liberty wasa huge success so I figured theremust be so much more to see.
We stuck to the main drag andfound a nondescript strip mallhousing several options. Chinese orMexican? Hmmm… heavy decisions.We chose the comfort and warmthof a giant basket of chips and salsa.
Iguana’s Bar and Grill seems like afairly average Mexican joint fromthe exterior but the interior rises
above. Once inside you’re greetedwith refined decorations fromunique sculptures on the walls togiant, flowery paintings. It’s brightand colorful and very clean.
The menu ranges from traditionalfajitas to enchiladas with a fewspecials thrown in. Of course, thereis the requisite basket of chips andsalsa. The chips were crispy andsalty and the salsa fresh.
Feeling frisky, I ordered thechimichanga, spicy chicken wrappedin a flour tortilla and deep-fried. Myhusband had the enchilada platter,which was comprised of no fewerthan four types of enchiladas: beef,
chicken, cheese and bean.
The other thing that makes Iguana’sstand out is their prolific use ofgarnish. No weak little piles oflettuce pushed to the side. Eachplate is a masterpiece of color andvitality. My chimi had an actualsalad on the side, none of thatshredded iceberg junk.
I really enjoyed Iguana’s for theirverve and freshness. Their nourishingfood and drink imbibed me withthe strength to travel on to untoldfortunes. Shew. It’s a good thing I’malmost done with that book.

The three P’s of this model are:●People (Social Well Being & Equity)— Recent studies have shown a dramaticincrease in the value employees (youngand old alike) place in working fororganizations that promote the well beingand equity of their work force, along witha commitment to the community andenvironmental stewardship efforts thatwork toward the common good.

BOOKTALK { Natalie Ditmars and Caitlin Slessor give you theCliffs Notes. What they are reading right now andwhich books they can’t wait to crack open.
Need someintrospection? GivePaulo Coelho a try.
I think Coelho is a greatwriter but I concedethat he is not foreveryone. His booksare aptly described
as “fables” and sometimes I feel like hetries to force feed his readers life lessonsrather than let the reader figure out thelesson on his or her own. Nevertheless,if you are up for some soul searching tryone of these titles by Coehlo.
THE ALCHEMISTThis story is about a little shepherd boynamed Santiago who leaves his homein Spain to travel to the Egyptian desertin search of treasure. This search turns
into a quest for thetreasures within oneself.The “lesson” of the bookis that everyone has apurpose in life, a destiny;but you can’t expectto reach your destinyby sitting at home andtwiddling your thumbs.
You need to get out of your comfort zone,be persistent, and only then will you findyour destiny. This book raises some oflife’s greatest questions, so be prepared.
VERONIKA DECIDES TO DIEThis story is about a single woman namedVeronika who lands in a mental hospitalafter a failed suicide attempt. Sheis distraught that her attempt failsand vows not to leave the hospitalalive. That all changes when she
learns that she is goingto die anyway due toheart damage causedby her failed suicideattempt. I don’t want togive away too much, butthis book offers a veryinteresting perspectiveon life and death. This is
one of my favorite books by Coehlo.
THE DEVIL AND MISS PRYMThis story is about a stranger on a questto find out the truth about humannature; are humans good or evil? Thestranger visits a small town and promisestreasure if the villagers agree to murder
one of their own. It isfascinating to watch howthe different villagersreact to the stranger’sproposition. And whodoesn’t want to figureout whether the villagerschose life or money? Thisbook is wonderful. I highly
recommend it.
Like I said, Coehlo’s books are not foreveryone, but what book is? Look insideyourself and see if Coehlo’s an author foryou.

MUSICNOTES { You’ve heard their music. Now know their story.
Awful PurdiesPurdify — v. To give something the property of beingcreated and/or modified by the all-female group AwfulPurdies, especially songs. See also “psycho-folk” and“new folk.”
They may not have quite made Merriam-Webster’s(yet), but Iowa City’s Awful Purdies certainly speak, andsing, a language unique to them.
This all-female quintet is an eclectic collection ofmusicians who banded together out of the sharedexperiences of creating music across genres and beingfemale in a male-dominated industry.
“We’re driven by a desire to create a communityand sisterhood,” says percussionist/“the eversexy glockenspiel” player Katie Roche. “It’s not amoneymaking project; we’re not driven by the typicalmotives.”
What they are driven by is the music, and each other.Playing something akin to folk music (the members ofthe group described their style as “new folk,” “psycho-folk” and “eclectic”) — the principle elements andstorytelling nature lend themselves most closely tofolk music comparisons — the Awful Purdies have usedthe group as an outlet to their talents and sense ofcommunity and friendship.
The group was founded by Annie Savage and AmyFinders (no longer with the group) in 2006 as “theanswer to the question, ‘Is there a musical life forwomen after children, family and career?’” The answerwas yes, as the five Purdies have balanced newchildren, families, careers, moving and losses both forthe band and personally.
Despite considerable life changes in a short amountof time, the Awful Purdies consider it a point of pridethat they’ve made time for the music, even releasing aself-titled album that will be officially released Oct. 17at The Mill in Iowa City.
Though the sound can be classified as folk music,every song has a distinct flavor that often bears littleresemblance to the previous track. This is partially dueto the album being about 40 percent covers, but the
women taking turns writing and providing vocals. Thewomen are each distinctive singers and songwriters,and the mix and match nature of the songs means thesound never gets tired or repetitive.
The origin of the band’s curious name is something ofa guarded joke, though each member was pretty openwith what it means to be an Awful Purdy. On one hand,some think of it as a clever pun, as in “Well, aren’t youawful’ purdy.” Roche thinks of it as a statement onwomen with musical talent who can do more than justlook good on stage.
The Awful Purdies are awfully talented and an awfullyoriginal take on the Eastern Iowa folk scene.
