Is it a beer? Is it a milkshake? It’s tasty, but kinda defies classification. (It’s listed as a smoothie sour.)

- You didn’t vote for her because she wasn’t strong enough on Gaza. FU - Government workers voted for him only to lose their jobs to an unelected goon. FU - You said we’d be respected in the world, now people watch in horror as we abandon allies. FU - At least he’ll “fix” the economy, right? FU!

Look - I’m drinking a Saison! Aren’t you?

Last sunset in Honolulu. Fun trip. Now back to reality. 😭

Politics notwithstanding, of course I would be cheering for the USA. Under the current circumstances, well done Canada! (And with Golden Knights on both teams, yay hockey.)

Narrator - “You just climbed to the top of Diamond Head and back - what are you gonna do now?” Me - “I’m gonna collapse!”

When it’s cold at home, head to the islands! Balmy weather and a nice lager in Waikiki…🤙🏻

Any breweries I shouldn’t miss in Honolulu?

First measurable rain in Vegas in 215 days. I have no idea how to react. Hide? Go outside and dance?

I just heard “Time” by Pink Floyd playing over the PA system at Walmart. Kill me now.

If you’re in the #vegasbeer scene, you know what this is. It’s clearly old, and it’s lost a bit of its bite, but it’s still one of my go-to’s. I’ll be sad when I crack the last one.

If we were meant to have 3 independent branches of government, why the actual f*ck do we have executive orders?

A well-dressed man just had a couple of beers at the brewery I’m sitting at, asked the bartender if they took cash, then dropped a $100 bill and told her to keep the change. She was nonplussed. Very cool.

Everyone who didn’t vote for Kamala based on her stance on Gaza can officially go F*ck themselves.

I can think of a lot of things I’d rather do than piss off our Canadian friends (and our Mexican friends too)! I’m sorry we elected a fascist moron. Really. (Also note I’m half British, born in the UK, but not sure if that helps!)

Grandpa does not live by beer alone - had a lovely smoked old fashioned at Las Vegas Distillery.

Happy 5th Anniversary to Mojave Brewing! 2/3 of us with owner Griff, and Grandpa got a shirt as one of the original mug club members!

We made it to Friday, and through the first month of 2025. You deserve a (local craft) beer. Cheers! 🍻

Ya know what? SoCal (but north of San Diego) is an underrated beer location. Between Brewery X, Bottle Logic and The Bruery, nice spots for a beer.

This is mostly a beer account, with pics of my cats thrown in. I’m going to try to keep it that way, but I apologize in advance - I’m going to spend the next 4 years alternating between incredulous and totally pissed off.

to recap: — Trump was *for* the TikTok ban — which the GOP Congress passed — and the GOP Supreme Court upheld — and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway — so that Trump could "save" it — and the media fell for it we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

Wow. Great game by Washington, but Detroit looked decidedly average.

Look! I’m drinking a beer, almost! I’m almost drinking a beer! Wait, I’m drinking an almost beer! Yeah, that’s it - that’s the ticket!

Bit of a tough day today. Mom’s birthday - 1st one to occur after she passed last year. Visited her at the cemetery with Dad. Can’t wait for the end of my abbreviated dry January next week.

Well, this totally sucks. Imbib (in Reno) is one of the most innovative breweries in the state and they will be sorely missed when they close on February 1st. Folks, don’t take your breweries for granted. Get out there and support them. #brewery

Monday timeline cleanse. #cat

So this week, I visited 3 breweries and drank nothing but NA offerings. It was good to see friends and support breweries, but I still like it better with “real” beer.

Hey, UK friends, please take a look at this. Don’t be like us in the US.

Look, even if you’re doing #dryJanuary , you can still visit your local brewery, have an NA beer or a Hop Water, and help out a local business. Do it!
