Funny times we’re in when last night I’m at a place trying to be a high end pub with an abysmal beer menu and today I find Deschutes and Duvel glassware at a bodega a couple blocks away.

Curious why Vance didn’t go with New Hampshire over Vermont for skiing. Much more Trump friendly. Coulda been drinking Schilling with less harassment. 🤔

I did a quick flip through of this and it looks stunning. Can’t wait to read. Great work @katiematherkm.bsky.social @pelliclemag.com

Irish Exit - Two Roads Irish Cream Porter - Zero Gravity Mo Chara (Irish red, but still) - Banded

Dynasty 838!

What Irish-style stouts are tasting good RN that aren’t Guinness?

Charleston, SC.

Save the date for the next NYC Cask Crew Cask Crawl in Gowanus on March 29th!

KEEP CASK ALIVE IS BACK For the last year, we have been gathering video evidence for our most ambitious project ever – getting British Cask Ale recognition from UNESCO as Intangible Heritage. That campaign begins with the trailer of our seven part series, Keep Cask Alive Two. youtu.be/0BNKJVBkg50

Love this cover. Can’t wait to dive into this book. @braciatrix.bsky.social

Oooh, loved @kbernot.bsky.social giving shout outs to Machine House and Hogshead recently on Beer Sessions Radio talking about draft beer. Properly pulled pints are magical! @jimmypotsandpans.bsky.social

New post up. Some of my faborite skateboards featuring beer. www.casketbeer.com/home/2025/2/...

Appreciating this bit, of course, “As it is, the chalice has gone, as has the handled mug that replaced it for a decade or so. Now, pints come in standard straight glasses – nice enough, but a sign of ESB’s loss of dignity.”

Pennsylvanian Celebration?

Looking ahead to the weekend, anyone have a good Philly style tomato pie recipe?

I did an abysmal job at taking pictures yesterday at Strong Rope’s 9th Caskiversary event because I was catching up w/way too many awesome ppl. It’s always a highlight of the year for the NYC beer community.

Short 🧵 Another great @pelliclemag.com story by @anahlcq.bsky.social this week about real ale in France and I, of course, couldn’t help but notice the glassware depicted by @bathedailey.bsky.social. Click on the link below and see for yourself. www.pelliclemag.com/home/2024/1/...

There are other reasons these businesses aren’t thriving. I’m not sold that proximity to NYC breweries is a significant factor. The overwhelming majority of NYC breweries are in Brooklyn. Not necessarily right next door to Westchester. www.lohud.com/story/life/f...

Thx @lostlagers.bsky.social for the links to my work!

The world sees it for what it is...

“People go on about crap like "mlíko" pours - something I never came across in the 1980s…” 😂

Just realized I recently submitted my passport renewal which indicates I’m a male, which was NOT my gender at the time of conception. #whydoihavenipples
