L’écosysteme brassicole en introspection
Récemment, deux médias ont particulièrement attiré mon attention. Le premier est un reportage télévisé évoquant le déclin des brasseries et les nombreuses fermetures, le second est un excellent article d’Anaïs Lecoq pour Mediapart sur le déclin des cavistes. À cela s’ajoute un troisième article d’Anaïs Lecoq toujours paru encore plus récemment, relatant le non-respect des conditions de travail pour les salariés de brasseries (accidents du travail, heures sup’ non payées, etc.).

Zoumaï : pionnier de la révolution craft à Marseille
Aujourd’hui, c’est un article que j’avais envie de consacrer à une brasserie marseillaise très prisée et qui fait partie des pionniers de la nouvelle vague brassicole marseillaise. Avec La Plaine et Minotte, la brasserie Zoumaï a longtemps fait partie du trio de tête marseillais avant que la seconde vague (tout aussi qualitative) n’arrive avec Soiffe ou encore les Maltfaiteurs.

L’intelligence artificielle dans le milieu brassicole
Aujourd’hui, on va parler d’un sujet bien contemporain, un sujet très actuel même : nous allons parler d’intelligence artificielle ! L’IA n’est pas nouvelle, mais ces dernières années, la progression technologique a été fulgurante et, surtout, le grand public y a désormais largement accès. Beaucoup d’entre nous l’utilisent, que ce soit pour cuisiner, se diriger, chercher des sujets ou… foutre des gens en bikini sans leur consentement (oui Grok, c’est à toi que je parle). Mais l’IA a aussi envahi tous les domaines, y compris le milieu brassicole !
