Every day is leg day when you work in the archives. Forget hitting the gym and lifting weights, I’ll probably have arms capable of wrestling a bear by the time I\u2019m done here. Its actually amazing how heavy a box of magazines can get. But honestly, it’s the stuff in the box that’s interesting. I started cataloging the Olympia Brewery Library collection<\/a> a few months before writing this. It\u2019s a hodge-podge of periodicals, beer can collector\u2019s mags, and lab communications. The marginalia is sparse but interesting. It feels like a treasure hunt, trying to find the notes these people left their coworkers in the brewery. There\u2019s a whole story inside those notes.<\/p>\n

The coolest thing in there\u2014in my humble opinion\u2014is a run of Scandinavian brewer’s journals, written in Danish. I don\u2019t speak Danish, but I can do a mean Google translate search, but it begs the question: which one of those Olympia Brewers read Danish? It\u2019s random questions like this that makes working here really enjoyable. That and my potential future as a bear wrestler.<\/p>\n
