Standard issue optimistic skeptic. That's me with Kermit Ruffins in the tiny circle, a signal I may post about roots music even though people associate me with beer (appellationbeer.com), and specifically with hops (hopqueries.com/subscribe).

The imperfections of age and its wear and tear only make La Fleur en Papier Doré even more beautiful

Rutland Arms for the win. First Pellicle last week, and today one of Pete Brown's "10 Best Proper Pubs." Messy link on the latter, but @petebrownbeer.bsky.social will direct you there. www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/2/...

Why did it take more than 7 years to complete? 400,000 words covering 300 years and 56 countries, 61 chapters, four appendices, 120 illustrations, five maps. zythophile.co.uk/2025/02/22/p...

GOOD MORNING! Here's our regular weekly round-up of good writing about beer and pubs, with more juicy nuggets than longreads this week. 🍺🍻 boakandbailey.com/2025/02/news...

Nobody really disagrees that the U.S. hop market has a surplus, or what to do about it: p̶r̶a̶y̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶a̶ ̶w̶a̶r̶e̶h̶o̶u̶s̶e̶ ̶f̶i̶r̶e̶ cut acreage under wire to rebalance supply & demand. But as I wrote in my column this week at @vinepair.com, solving that prisoner's dilemma is easier said than done.

Do pubs not still stock newspapers? You were think of Clark's Ale House, weren't you?

GOOD MORNING! Here's our regular weekly round-up of news, links and commentary from the world of beer and pubs. 🍺🍻 boakandbailey.com/2025/02/news...

Guinness is going ganbusters right now. In my column this week at @vinepair.com, I argue that the current success of Diageo's workhorse is proof not that splitting the G is fun (it is) or that Gonster is good (it’s not), but that the fundamental logic of the American beer industry still holds.

Given the times, “dull” is the hot new trend we all desire and in one small way it’s a big thing in mid-February… if you sorta squint and, you know, look away from creeping despotism and all the natural disasters…

Stan’s got the beery news update you need for a Monday! appellationbeer.com/blog/monday-... @stanhieronymus.bsky.social

Can say "reallocation of resources to enhance efficiency and leverage synergies," but can't answer a simple question.

Found a few stories you might have missed last week. appellationbeer.com/blog/monday-...

Today’s the day, see you at metrobar, covered, heated, indoors.

GOOD MORNING! Here's the latest edition of news, nuggets and longreads, with a few bits from Burton, two pub crawls, a bit of snarky opinion, and quite a lot of news. 🍺🍻 boakandbailey.com/2025/02/news...

Any Joe Ely music drop is exciting, but "Love and Freedom" is even more special. Magical mixing by Lloyd Maines. Timely, timely duet with Ryan Bingham for Woody Guthrie's Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos). www.youtube.com/watch?v=kB0W...

If pea beer is going to be a thing, it better be American Pea Ale (APA), right?

Happy Anniversary Urban Chestnut!

Indeed.

The best thing(s) to happen in beer since 2018 are still happening. #thesession appellationbeer.com/blog/the-ses...

The excitement continues to build. Probably most important event until pitchers and catchers report. (Cubs are first, Feb. 9) abetterbeerblog427.com/2025/01/30/y...

Spoiler alert: The answer is 'yes' abetterbeerblog427.com/2025/01/28/q...

Really lovely surprise to see my Smell of the Malt piece quoted/sampled in here ✏️🤝🏻

GOOD MORNING! Here's our usual weekly round up of great writing about beer and pubs. Kellerbier, relaunching a pub, ✨ Barnoldswick ✨, and more. boakandbailey.com/2025/01/news...

Were going to see a lot of Belgian breweries like Sreuise - cult foreign following, passion project, small, isolated location, idiosyncratic beers - close in the coming years

If Molson Coors has enough money to launch soulless, MBA-brained pander-brands like Happy Thursday, it has enough to secure a piece of the American brewing industry’s soul by continuing to run shandy through the tanks in Chippewa Falls — even if just to preserve Leinie’s centuries-spanning streak.

Early contender for best beer name of the year.

More details about what to expect from from the new version of the American Homebrewers Association.

Jamie Goode sighting. And a new catchphrase comes to mind, "There's no crying in craft beer!"

Take a deep breath.

@chrislohring.bsky.social made a post on IG that I thought would be good over here. Screenshots of his post are below, as well as a comment I made. There were many other comments by other posters. Would love to hear some other thoughts.

Sometimes you just have to search "Leslie Nielson fart" on youtube and give the algorithm a little refresh.
