Can something remain the same, even as it changes? If you have a ship on an endless voyage, it inevitably needs repair. Over the years, you replace the cracking mast, the planks in the hull, the sails, the rudder, and eventually, every piece besides the winds that move her. Is it the same ship? Many, material-minded, say no and overlook much more crucial questions. When the new timber is laid, did it first fit between the old and swell against their shape? Who are the people mending the vessel year after year through storms and still waters? Who is the captain? Who are the sailors? Even more important, what does the ship do? What routes does it traverse through this change? For us, this ship represents our craft. ABV 7.8%
