🤯 Holy shit that just took me back and now I can't remember if I've seen them live or not. Getting them crossed up with Strung Out.

how is anyone employed by the wine/beer industry not partisan at this point anyway? What rock is this dude living under?

From what I’ve seen trash is/was handled totally different in nyc so this kinda makes sense. It would make sense to escalate tickets after repeat offenses but with the frequency of sweeping in areas of sf it seems like a racket and not for cleaning value

I have no clue, still seems high when I think about living in the Sunset and each side of the street had street sweeping 2x per week plus construction/etc. nearly impossible to avoid every ticket. MUNI was not reliable enough at the time to use 100%, and I biked frequently as well.

It does seem problematic in a few ways (privacy issues, threats against enforcement agents, etc), but holy crap $90 ticket for street sweeping and $107 for an expired meter? WTF? I haven't lived there in 15 years but being in the outer regions of the city without a car was often a challenge

I am aware. That is why I wrote that I wanted a *soup-can* cuzie.

Beer infused soup? Delicious! Soup infused beer? Abomination! I for one am awaiting my Cambell's soup-can cuzie.

Just so we're clear, you made me look up "Bop House" and you have never made me feel older than my (until now, young) age of 42.

I’d never even heard of these until @dinfontay.com told me about them. And now I get jump scared by them at Fred Meyer’s endcaps.

37 is my favorite number! If I wasn't already supporting Fingers I'd do it again! (I'll do it again next year too! That's a threat!) Happy Birthday to my favorite Beverage Journalist!

You ever just sneeze fifty times after cracking open a nice cold can of modern IPA? #thisislove

I thought these were hand soap refills before I zoomed in.

no, she means she pays 50% of her taxes. Not pays 50% tax on her income.

I just got back from Chicago and was having a wonderful time until someone said "juice" in regards to jus and it threw the whole trip off balance.

Thank you for your summary. I clicked the link to his substack and within seconds I was like, "i ain't reading all that"

If these are not my exact words, it is my exact sentiment. One of the best industry writers around and certainly my favorite!

I'm more terrified that there are enough 21+ people who drink these that this product can exist at all.

Why are you attacking me like this? (I don't own a Volvo, luckily)

Not me (I work at Ninkasi), but we’re good buddies with a lot of the HV folks and we can greatly relate to layoffs/M&A and all that

Yeah, it's been pretty sucky down here this week. Quite a few friends lost jobs, and unfortunately, not like there's a local hiring push at the moment.

$22 for 750ml of 30% spirit with WONF and Yellow #5. Holy shit.

Calling all people named "James." You too can be the next BrewDog CEO.

I wrote a little bit about it a few years ago, can't remember the original posting date of my site's migration, but I feel the same. cascadekid.com/haze-the-las...

This is delightful, thank you!

so awesome!

I had to go see if this was real and I am speechless. This was a choice.

American here. I missed the discussion, but I had noted I thought it was weird you have used AI images in your pieces given what you do for a living. Seems odd to me as well and I don't love it.
