Appreciation post for Troegs, which makes the most consistently good beer on the East Coast. No matter which brew, it's clean, no off flavors.

Crazy tree found on our new property. Maple probably 125-175 years old. Old T-posts that the tree has swallowed up. @ Allegro Winery

Been doing this for years.
My favourite thing to do at gigs is to sing really loud but badly so that people who film all the songs have their videos ruined.

My Dad was a longtime wine judge at the California State Fair. It was a major issue one year when two buck chuck placed (2nd I think) in the blind test. They banned judges and forced recertification for others.
Fred Franzia created Trader Joe's $2 wine (“Two Buck Chuck”). He comes from a wine family but hated the pretentious industry. Comparing an $80 bottle to his $2 brand, he asked, "Do you get 40x the pleasure?” It’s now sold 1B+ bottles and makes >$100m/year. Here's the story🧵

.@profgalloway heard on @PivotPod that you wondered why the Olympics was in decline. It's like FB. They're not at the cool table in high school anymore. The Olympics think that snowboarding, etc, drives popularity. It doesn't. And FB ain't cool to 29 and under.

Ever thought about why you rarely see local wines in restaurants in PA? Me, too.
