This shoe doesn’t fit quite right CHUCK SHEPHERD Courier Wire Services
Police report
Informal Georgia Sobriety Tests: Rachel Gossett blew a .216 alcohol reading in Loganville, Ga., in November, but that was probably a formality after an officer witnessed her attempt to put a cheeseburger from a Waffle Shop onto her foot as if it were a shoe.
Marvels of science
The notorious white separatist Craig Cobb is currently soliciting like-skinned people to move to his tiny town of Leith, N.D. (pop. 16), to create a deluxe Caucasian enclave, but at the urging of a black TV host submitted to a DNA test in November to “prove” his lineage and turned up 14 percent black (“Sub-Saharan African”). He has vowed to try other DNA tests before confirming those results. Bobby Harper, previously Leith’s only black resident, was gleeful: “I knew there was one other black person in town.” In midNovember, Cobb was charged, along with an associate, with seven counts of terrorism for walking menacingly through Leith wielding a long gun.

Happy news
In October, Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro created a “Vice Ministry of Supreme Social Happiness” to coordinate the welfare programs begun by the late President Hugo Chavez. Critics charged, however, that there is much to be unhappy about, given the country’s annual rate of inflation (near 50 percent), and an Associated Press dispatch quoted one critic who said she would be happy enough if only stores were not constantly out of milk and toilet paper.

Iowa cracks open craft beer market JOHN MOLSEED john.molseed@wcfcourier.com
DECORAH — For a state more known for its fertility than fermentation, Iowa has produced a bumper crop of craft beer brewers. More than 50 craft breweries, microbreweries and brew pubs operate in Iowa. That’s enough to push the Hawkeye state ahead of other states like California, known for craft beer, in breweries per capita. A number of factors (including, yes, a smaller population in Iowa) have led to this rise. First, cultural shifts have brought more interest in craft beer and pride in a local products, area brewers said. “The way beer used to taste is coming back,” said Clark Lewey, owner of Toppling Goliath Brewing Co. in Decorah. Changes in state laws have made it easier for brewers to make and distribute their beer in Iowa, brewers said. “Under the old laws, in order to sell our own Golden Nugget here, we would have to send it to a distributor in Minnesota and pay them to bring it back here,” Lewey said. Iowa law now allows state brewers to self distribute. Another law, passed in March 2010, allowed Iowa brewers to produce and sell beer containing up 15 percent alcohol by volume and allowed Iowa beer wholesalers distribute beers of similar strength. Under these laws and others, brewers would have had a difficult time selling the beer they make in Iowa to their fellow Iowans. Toppling Goliath and other craft breweries are flourishing under these changes. Iowa breweries are starting to catch notice nationally. Toppling Goliath’s Kentucky Brunch Brand Stout broke
Beer Advocate’s top 100 best beers from around the world. Lewey sold a house for start-up funds to establish the brewery in 2009. Although he has yet to pay himself, the brewery now employs more than a dozen
F
people full time. This summer, he invested more than $2 million into expanding the capacity of the operation. Before the expansion, the brewery was producing one beer at a time non-stop at a 30-barrel-per-day rate.
The new set up will allow the brewery to produce 110 barrels per day of four different brews at a time. The brewery also installed machinery that can fill up to 3,000 bottles per hour. That will allow Toppling
IFTH STREET
TIRE
Goliath to enter retail markets. Despite the bottler and increased capacity, the expansion won’t mean a sudden flood of Toppling Goliath beer.

EDAR FALLS — Experimental rock duo and Iowa expatriates Har-di-Har are marking their new album with a show featuring an Iowa who’s-who lineup Dec. 7. The show will feature the River Monks, Dylan Sires and Neighbors, The Host Country and Burning Palace. Andrew and Julie Thoreen, who make up Har-di-Har, moved to Minnesota, but the pair still promote and collaborate with various Iowa musical groups.
“Even though we moved to Minnesota, we hold Iowa dear and we do want to continue to support Iowa music and Iowa bands,” Andrew Thoreen said. The show, at the Hub Live Music Club, 406 Main St., in Cedar Falls,
starts at 8:30 p.m. To keep music flowing with such a loaded bill, performers will make use of the Hub’s second stage, Thoreen said. “My goal is to make the evening feel warm and intimate,” said Julie Thoreen. “That’s why I’m

excited to use that stage in the other room.” The large lineup also gives the show more of an event feel, Andrew said. “It’s harder and harder to come back to Cedar Falls as often, he said. “So why not throw as many bands as we can on the bill?” H a r- d i - H a r w i l l b e debuting their newest EP, “Hard Parent /Thick
Child,” at the show. The album has a heavier, more robust and driving sound than the duo’s previous releases. The entire album is superbly mixed with intricate layers of instruments and ambient noises. In performance and through their previous EP releases, “Feudal Kind” and “Words of Whim,” the Thoreens demonstrate how two people can create a full band sound. Julie is usually on keyboard and the upper half of a drum kit and Andrew plays guitar or bass while he plays the lower half of the kit. Combined with the couple’s tight harmony vocals, Har-di-Har creates a blend of sound like a three- or four-piece band.

House of Large Sizes ends hiatus with December show JOHN MOLSEED john.molseed@wcfcourier.com
WATERLOO — After taking most of a decade off, Cedar Falls rock trio House of Large Sizes is performing again in the Cedar Valley. After performing a few shows regionally, House of Large Sizes is performing Dec. 7 at Spicoli’s. The group went on hiatus in 2003 after a run of success and tours through t h e 19 9 0 s a n d ea rly 2000s. That run included 1993’s “My Ass Kicking Life,” which was released by Columbia Records. The group went their separate ways in 2003 but have had a couple spurts of shows since then.
House of Large Sizes WHEN: 9 p.m. Dec. 7 WHERE: Spicoli’s Bar and Grill, 3555 University Ave. WITH: Holy White Hound, The Mittens, Peas and Carrot COST: $10
Their reunion this year has so far been longer lived. The group, Dave Diebler on guitar, his now-wife Barb Schliff on bass and Brent Hanson on drums, got together to polish material for their return to headline the annual 80/35 music festival in Des Moines.

Beer
Iowa cracks open craft beer market From page 1 The new capacity will allow the operation to meet the demands of the markets it’s already in. “It’s not like we’re going to seem like we’re doing anything different,” Lewey said. “Demand is there.” One of the early outlets to sell Toppling Goliath beer was Mulligan’s Brick Oven Grill & Pub in Cedar Falls. Dave Morgan, Mulligan’s owner, said seeing his customers’ enthusiasm for Toppling Goliath and other craft beers inspired him to try commercial brewing himself. Morgan opened Single Speed Brewing Co. in Cedar Falls in December last year. Within a few months, the brewery had reached capacity and had to add two more fermentation vessels in May. Although demand for Single Speed beer is high, Morgan said he has no plans to go retail any time soon. At the Single Speed brew pub in downtown Cedar Falls, Morgan shares tap wall space with other craft breweries, including Reinbeck’s Broad Street Brewing Co. Trevor Schellhorn, owner of Broad Street, initially looked to start his brewery by distributing and bottling beer around the area. Since Schellhorn started the brewery in December 2010, he has shifted his strategy to put a face with the beer and build a customer base by personally introducing people to the beer whenever possible. The strategy gives beer lovers a deeper connection to the brewery and builds a fan base, he said. “By keeping this sort of model, we’ve got to meet a lot of people and forge these relationships that I think is pretty groovy,” Schellhorn said. “It takes more time to do that but foundationally, it’s much more solid.” In Waterloo, Steve Weliver and Ty Graham eschew anything traditional when practicing their brewing craft. Guerrila Brewing Co., at the Falls Mall on Falls Avenue in Waterloo, uses nontraditional ingredients and methods to brew their beer. The pair push the potency of their small batches to its full potential. The nanobrewery taps a new creation every Thursday at the Beer Hall. Selling beer as an experience is a key to survival for many breweries in the face of increasing competition. “I really try to make sure each beer is exciting and a good experience for everybody,” said Mike Saboe, head brewer at Toppling Goliath. The other key strategy sounds simple: Make good beer. “There’s going to be a bubble burst because mediocre breweries are not going to survive,” Lewey said.
