Beer is one of the oldest and most widely consumed alcoholic drinks in the world, and the third most popular drink overall after water and tea. Beer is brewed from cereal g
rains—most commonly, malted barley, wheat, corn, and rice are used. During the brewing process, fermentation of the starch sugars in the wort produces ethanol and carbonation in the resulting beer. Most modern beer is brewed with hops, which add bitterness and other flavours and act as a natural preservative and stabilizing agent. In commercial brewing, the natural carbonation effect is often removed during processing and replaced with forced carbonation.

Houstonian Libby Koch makes her way to Armadillo Palace this weekend,
Her music is a blend of acoustic Americana, folk, country, rock, and bluegrass, a la Emmylou Harris or Patty Griffin.
"Too country for country radio, Koch these days would get filed under folk, the same place you find too country for country folks such as 
Lucinda Williams. That's country's loss." (Houston Chronicle)
Libby's music draws from a classic Americana blend of country, folk, and rock, with influences from great artists such as Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams, Janis Joplin, Patty Griffin, Gillian Welch, and Dolly Parton. Her goal is to make real, honest music that resonates with people.
In 2014, Libby released her fourth studio release, Tennessee Colony, an album about faith, family, and home. She has toured extensively in support of the new record, playing shows at venues, festivals, conferences, private parties, weddings, and house concerts in 22 states and Canada in the past year alone. This year she played the Kerrville Folk Festival's Threadgill Theater, the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival's Emerging Artist Showcase, the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance (NERFA) conference Suzi Wollenberg Folk DJ Showcase and Quad Showcase, WFMT's Folkstage program in Chicago, the Frank Brown International Songwriters' Festival, and she was a Wildflower! Festival Finalist and Songwriter Serenade Semifinalist. In 2013 Libby was named Songwriter of the Year by the Houston Press, and she was an Official Showcase Artist at the Southwest Regional Folk Alliance (SWRFA) conference.
