Hilltown 6 is a group of nationally recognized potters based in the Hilltowns of Western Massachusetts: Robbie Heidinger, Knox, Maya Machin, Michael McCarthy, Hiroshi Nakayama, Mark Shapiro, Eric Smith, Constance Talbot and Sam Taylor.

time. It’s always exciting to be introduced to a new potter and their work.” There is great diversity of styles within the Hilltown 6 group of host potters and their guests. The work ranges from sculptural work to functional dinnerware. There is diversity in firing processes, from kilns that are fired with electricity using solar, to kilns that fire with gas or wood. Some of the potters throw on the potter’s wheel, some practice hand building and others slip casting or hewing. Some of the techniques used include drawing, carving, painting, wax resist, stamping and embossing. “And while some of the surfaces are created while the clay is still wet, others are created with glazing techniques or the fire itself,” Knox explained. She has been working on a new surface design using multiple colors and will have it featured on platters and bowls. Prices for her work

Restaurants cope with labor shortage Another brewer explores cannabis ties

S THE CRAFT BEER industry going to pot? OK, that’s actually a lame joke for what I’m writing about today, but it’s a legitimate query after a report on CNN Business. Dale Katechis, founder of Oskar Blues Brewing in Colorado, is an investor and leader at Veritas Fine Cannabis, a wholesaler specializing in selling premium cannabis, according to the CNN story. Katechis joins such current and former craft brewing notables as Ted Whitney, Brian Dewey, and Matt Gamble, who all worked in prominent roles at such breweries as Avery, Stone, Sierra Nevada, 21st Amendment, and Clown Shoes, and who all now hold positions with cannabis companies. But Katechis is at another level than the other folks: He founded Oskar Blues and revolutionized craft brewing with Dale’s Pale Ale, which led the way in making canned craft beers the norm. Katechis hopes to replicate his success at Oskar Blues, where he is known for innovation and quality. “When I got a peek inside of Veritas, around every corner, it just whacked me in the head: It reminded me of the early days of Oskar Blues,” Katechis said in the CNN story. “If for nothing else, I want them to grow the way they want to grow, but I might be able to raise my hand and offer some input on all the mistakes we made and keep Veritas from making the same ones.” Katechis stepped away from day-to-day operations at Oskar Blues and merged with other craft brewers in 2015 to form CANarchy, a company that calls itself “a disruptive collective of like-minded brewers dedicated to bringing high-quality, innovative flavors to drinkers in the name of independent craft beer.” The CANarchy portfolio includes

George Lenker Beer Nut

such names as Oskar Blues Brewery, Cigar City Brewing, and Deep Ellum, among others. Besides the fact that hops are from the same family as marijuana, there also seems to be another parallel between cannabis and beer. Craft beer only started in the late 1970s/early 1980s because until President Jimmy Carter signed legislation to legalize home brewing, there was no way for small brewers to even think about competing with industry giants. Of course beer itself wasn’t illegal, so in that way it’s different from weed. But cannabis also has the advantage of a ready-made customer base who clearly have embraced buying legal pot. Craft beer, on the other hand, had to build an audience, as many industrial brand drinkers were slow to accept more flavorful brews. In my city alone, there are several dispensaries already, with more on the horizon. And there are also plenty in surrounding towns. I’ll be interested to see how many survive or even thrive amid a crowded market. Then again, there are plenty of liquor stores, bars and beer halls around and they mostly seem to be OK, business-wise. I do not use cannabis products, so my viewpoint and knowledge is limited. But it will be intriguing to watch how much the craft brewing industry joins forces with the cannabis world.

RECENT EMAIL from a reader touched on a subtle but visible manifestation of the current restaurant industry staffing crisis. The reader’s inquiry was about a fast-food dining room remaining closed even though the particular establishment was otherwise “business as usual.” His question was one that had been discussed in the restaurant industry trade press, and the consensus there was that many quick service restaurants are dealing with their respective help shortages by closing down dining rooms and diverting labor resources to take-out and drive-thru service. The latter, after all, can represent 50% or more of the revenue booked by many fastfood outlets. Higher hourly wage rates may also be a motivation. Their margins squeezed by increased food and paper supplies costs, some fast-food operators may have decided to cap labor costs by focusing on take-out only. Full-service restaurants have reacted to their help problems somewhat differently. In many instances operations that were seven-days-a-week pre-pandemic are now only open five or even four days a week. Menus have also been simplified to ease the burden on short-staffed kitchens. Mezze Bar + Bistro in Williamstown recently sent out a message to those on its email list explaining why the operation was now offering a prix-fixe menu rather than the more expansive a la carte options it had previously made available. The email explained that a limited selection of dining options (which Mezze changes weekly) allows the restaurant to operate more efficiently with a smaller staff.

• One of the newest of restaurant operations buzzwords is “call deflection technology,” the euphemistic name given to software products designed to help restaurants avoid answering the phone. We’ve all have the “pleasure” of dealing with automated call attendants. Call deflection technology’s purpose is similar to that of a call attendant system — it answers a restaurant’s phone and “deflects” callers to the restaurant’s website or online ordering location. While “call deflection” might relieve restaurant employees of burdensome customer contact, is it really a strategy that promotes customer satisfaction? Software vendors who promote the call deflection product claim it does, yet many of us don’t enjoy the experience of talking with “intelligent agents” when calling a business, especially when our question hasn’t been built into the software algorithm powering that robotic intelligence. Call deflection is a business strategy, some might argue, that threatens to further hollow out the hospitality that should SEE MENU, PAGE E8

western France has long been the heartland for chenin blanc wines. But chenin blanc vines have likely been growing in South Africa since the 1600s. It wasn’t until the 1960s that researchers realized the grape known as “steen” in South Africa was actually chenin blanc, which is now the most widely grown grape in the country. Other places where you can find wines made with chenin blanc grapes include California, Australia and Argentina.
