Brewing Mesopotamian beer brings a sip of this vibrant ancient drinking culture back to life

It’s been about five months since I set foot in a bar. Like many of you navigating life in a pandemic, I miss bars. I miss the simple pleasure of sharing a beer with friends.

The president's comments were ill-informed at best and racist at worst, relatives of lynching victims say. The National Memorial for Peace and Justice honours thousands of people killed in racist lynchings in Montgomery, Alabama [File: Brynn Anderson/AP] Willie Edwards Jr, a black truck driver, was killed by Ku Klux Klansmen who forced him to jump off a bridge in Alabama in 1957. Two years earlier, white men bludgeoned black teenager Emmett Till to death in Mississippi. No one went to prison for either slaying. Both people died in racist lynchings and relatives of each were aghast on Tuesday after President Donald Trump compared his own possible impeachment to lynching - racist killings, often to incite terror, that took an estimated 4,400 black lives over...
