The Splendium Table was supported by Vitamix. You know, there are some essential cooking tools that have spanned generations, cross continents, and found their way into kitchens around the world. I'm thinking of the cast iron pam, the rolling pin, the mortar and pestle. But all of those were innovations at one point, and the high-powered Vitamix Splendor takes its place in that pantheon.

Vitamix blenders are incredible for whatever you like to cook.

From soups to maranades to sorbets, Vitamix blenders are built for versatility and endurance.

I'm Frances Lamb, and this is The Splendent Table from APM.

Thank you. So Octoberfest, the biggest beer festival in the world is starting like any minute now in Germany.

But today, we're going to talk about beer with a lot less sausage and pretzels and a lot more clarity on who exactly laid the foundation for beer brewing in our country. And to start, we have Teresa McCullough, which is a curator

at the American Brewing History Initiative at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.

And, you know, I've actually had the pleasure of getting a personal tour of this museum.
