In response to your message of Tue Jun  7 13:06:06 1983:

   One of the interesting things about that quote is that it again displays
Mencken's rather rudimentary knowledge of social history---in societies as
far apart as medieval England and Japan for the last millennium, brewing
was a women's monopoly (but it was a respectable profession for widows and
spinsters rather than a mantrap).
