Former brewer, current layabout. I have well-diversified portfolio. I put half my life savings in Spacely Sprockets, and the other half in Cogswell Cogs. As my wise old grandad used to say: "If you are ever in doubt: run in circles, scream and shout".

I'm in Cork now and was offered a taste of a locally brewed Oatmeal IPA. Uh, no thanks, pint of the pale ale please.

I toured Jennings many years ago. In the tasting room I asked for a bit more of the Snecklifter than I was allotted. I was shamed for my transgression but granted a bit more.

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.

I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

My brother Garry has dementia and is currently lost somewhere in the Chester area. If anyone should spot him please call the police on 999. We'd appreciate reposts. @shitchester.bsky.social

This jokey headline denigrates the noble role of deer decoy that so many dedicated souls have bravely partaken.

Hopefully the Franciscan Well taps in pubs, and shelf space in stores will go to local independents.

Actually Pritchard is going well beyond the role player you characterize him as being. He is an exellent starter and a surging player for a team counted out at the start of the season.

Saying that Pritchard and Clark were "bunched together" because they are white is both idiotic and offensive.

Doesn't sound like an act of gross stupidity. Sounds like a pleasant night out, with good beer. I apologize for contradicting you though.

Reading the blog, it seems to say you had 6 Kernel beers and 3 of them were excellent in one day. Wish I could have a brewery like that around, wherever I live. Unless "excellent" means a lot less to you then it does to me. I can go months without having a beer I would term that.
