The very first place I stopped had Chuckanut Pilsner on draft, which was a pretty good beer. In general, hazy IPA was both more prevalent and better than what I find in my corner of OH/KY. Not like they're rare or bad here, but that was my impression

Forgot to update, but yes, the weather was extremely shit except for like one afternoon. And that was when I had easily the worst beer of the whole trip, one that diverged so much from the overall reputation of the brewery that I suspect the venue/draft system was at fault

@williamfleitch.bsky.social really good newsletter last weekend

Pilsner straight off the brite tank

Thanks! Never been any further north than SF on the west coast, so I'm excited

@beervana.bsky.social going to be in Seattle next week, staying downtown downtown, it looks like. Any recs outside the c. 2022 stuff on your site?

@volts.wtf going to be in Seattle next week for the first time, staying centrally, excited for it!Any lesser-known recs?

Just move president's day!

John Scalzi as well!

Vandy represent!

Insanely vague commentary on the Rams-Seahawks game. "Puca Nakua was maybe talking to some guys he shouldn't..." Ok! Like, mafia? Sports betting is in the news a lot lately. No? Uh, Nazis? Also in the news! No? Pedophiles? Also in the news! No? Why give it even the 5s mention just to leave it there?

IPod touch with Carly Rae

Friday mornings in the brewery are for Carly Rae Jepsen

@nathanaclark.bsky.social can you explain to a neophyte American what on earth Romero is doing so far forward?

Seems like a lot to keep track of just to fix? a fundamentally bad game

Why are the Bengals playing Burrow and winning games?

I don't care if you're Brazilian, if your first name is Kevin, you cannot just go by your first name

Microdosing hot sauce into my kid's cheese quesadillas to build up their tolerance like it's a peanut allergy

What's your turn time on that? I do a solo double maybe once a year, and it's pretty tiring but also satisfying

Driving me crazy that Baltimore is in white, not Minnesota

Obviously Trump does not give a shit about a single person in Nigeria, so the question, as always, is: who is the most recent person to get him in a room alone?

@beervana.bsky.social have you heard of the new product from Crosby Hops, CGX Nuvo? Tried anything made with them yet?

A little miffed by how good the Brewers city connect jerseys are because they're a division rival so I'll never wear one. But they're really good

I got the payment invoice for yearly renewal and thought, "Huh, ok" without realizing it meant I subscribed (I think?) day one. Money well spent, even if it means I will never give a single shit about bicycle racing

They focused their fermentation attention elsewhere

Not on you obviously, but trying to click through to find context like, "Who is Stewart?" or, "Who is Golding?" led to strobing effects on my phone, then the espn app loading, then it crashing. Can't wait until that's the only way to watch MLB!

@dgoold.bsky.social Saturday off day??

I once kept getting included on the planning for a stag party in Dublin and after multiple times telling them they'd got the wrong Colin, I told them fine, I'm in. Pay for my flight from Ohio and I'll be there

Glycol chiller being watered with a sprinkler

If you want your brewery to grow, you must lovingly water it in the hot months

Remember BK Knights?

Haven't tried VII yet, but V is easily my favorite
