Yesterday I went to the ER with stabbing abdominal pains and was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer that has spread to my liver. I have undergone emergency surgery and there is a long road ahead.
Hold your loved ones close, thank you so much to anyone who has reached out
Hype brewer: “our next beer will feature cinnamon, vanilla, flour, sugar, butter, salt, shortening, bakers yeast, almost no water and will be served as an actual cinnamon roll. For real we a straight up bakery now. 2pp, don’t park next door”
We are longtime fans of
@dontdrinkbeer
, and devastated to see the fight he's going through. 100% of sales of Life Jacket (a beer whose name would never have existed without Alex) will go to support his treatment and his family through the end of the month.
I love when someone asks you about [some completely random brewery X out of 8100 breweries] and then when you go “oh no, havent heart of Bear Hill brewing in Kiposoka Wyoming” and they go “weird, I thought you were like into beer, you’re a beer guy right?”
Consumers: we want classic clean beers also inexpensive barrel aged vanilla stouts and a new fruited lactose ipa every week also never make the same beer twice
Brewers:
Here’s what you’re gonna do. You’re gonna open a 1bbl nano brewery in Virginia. You tell people you make Berliners but you just add puree to contract brewed kettle sours. The customer? All they need to know is you’re “craft” and “local”
Scientists have postulated that at the current rate of attention seeking breweries opening, by 2021 the modern consumer will not be able to identify beer as we know it
If the debate was going to be one incoherent dude constantly interrupting with rambling nonsense, then it should have been moderated by a brewery tasting room server.
So sick of seeing people wearing t-shirts of bands they don’t even listen to.
If you’re a real Nirvana fan name one song off of Vitalogy besides “Black Hole Sun”
Please be respectful today and realize that Cinco de Mayo can involve cultural appropriation. For you it's one day, but for some people drinking terrible import lagers is their entire life.
I love how craft beer nerds are tearing Bud Light apart for corn syrup commentary, meanwhile those same people currently drink the wildest food additives in their beer. If AbInbev labeled it “lactose” and took it to the craft beer castle ppl would be having a complete meltdown.
An old timer today at chemo told me he had been doing infusions for 12 years. “Look at where they’re at now, I had my time and you’re gonna have yours. I still got the grass under my feet and not above me, so who’s complaining.”
Amazing.
It should be every brewery’s goal to be so successful that grocery store stepdads think the actual name of the brewery is that one beer that they know they make.
Me sitting back watching dudes drive to Side Project to take a pic of the beer in the car to trade it for another beer that they won’t drink that gets sold for bourbon they heard was good that gets sold in divorce proceedings
Next week at breweries is gonna be amazing when dudes with in Under Armor polo shirts saunter in maskless citing the CDC and tossing their growlers in the trunk next to their trash bags full of 87 unleaded.
We just cleared $35,000 in donations for reproductive rights. It’s humbling to see all the names and how many people have donated to protect a woman’s right to choose. Thank you to all the donors making this possible.
Please consider donating to the family of Breonna Taylor, I have organized a fundraiser and I hope we can raise some money to help her family and honor her memory.
