The creators of the arts and culture magazine Lumpen are soliciting entries for a new craft beer journal they're starting called Mash Tun. It'll be a bound publication ranging from 120 to 160 pages, printed in four colors, and will launch during Craft Beer Week (May 17). More information follows after the jump.

From the press release:

The Mash Tun is a paean to craft beer. It follows the pleasures and aesthetics of craft beer and how it intersects with food, culture, and society.

The Mash Tun will feature interviews and profiles with brewery owners, beer lovers, brewmasters, beer distributors, scientists, industry impresarios, coopers, bottle makers, bar owners, home brewers and anyone who loves and is part of the process of making beer. There will be features about figures in the industry as well as historical narratives. Short and long form entries will be interspersed with recipes, comics and photography featuring participating breweries, bars and restaurants.

The deadline for submissions is March 1; send a one-paragraph pitch and a writing sample or two to this e-mail address.
