A matter of honour or an encounter between fools?

1. Billiard Ball.  2. The Renaissance.  3. Hopton on Duelling, section one.  4. History of the Due.  5. Hopton on Duelling, section two.  6. Decline of the Duel.  ps. The Wild West

Whether acting on principal or an example of extreme folly, the duel captured the imagination of European society for at least three centuries.  There was the duel involving billiard balls, an armed encounter between balloonists, and even a skirmish between two society ladies in Hyde Park in which one lost her hat to a lead round. 

Many lost their lives during these encounters, often for the most trivial of perceived slights.  In France alone, over a ten-year period during the seventeenth century, over 2,000 aristocrats and officers were killed in duels.  The sport certainly took its toll.  There were duels in London clubs and even the Palace of Westminster, and once the middle classes took up the sport it became almost a contagion.   One drunken duelist even faced his opponent naked.  Yet eventually the habit died out, a victim of its own ridiculous nature and growing alarm in the political establishment.  America developed its own form with the arrival of gunfights in the Wild West.  These too were to eventually fade into history and legend. 

So it goes

Tom Assheton and James Jackson

Zane Lamprey is a legend (he might kill me for saying that), starring in incredible shows like Three Sheets on the Travel Channel and Spike, Drinking Made Easy on AXS TV, and Have Fork, Will Travel on Food Network, not to mention his podcast and upcoming comedy and brewery tour which is almost guaranteed to be coming to a brewery in your town (seriously, just go to zanelamprey.com to see the tour). And for some very strange reason, he decided to join us on Beer Freaks to talk about his fear of bombing on stage, the sustainability of our environment and planet, his brand Adv3nture, his collaboration beer, and more while we drink some tasty beverages from Offshoot Beer Co. and Marlowe Artisanal Ales. If you don't listen to this episode, there's something wrong with you.
