One was a little acidic and thin, the other flabby missing carbonation...both same apple type so made sense
Probably most of the time people only have one beer open at a time. I sometimes mix beers on a sample tray but more frequently blend ciders in the glass, did it with these 2 yesterday
Another point is a lot of people do voicenote messaging these days so quite often its people listening and responding to these
When i do it its because im looking up my route on google maps or doing something on browser at the same time, i rarely actually use my phone to call people though
GOOD MORNING! Here's the latest edition of news, nuggets and longreads, with good writing about beer and pubs from the past week. This time: drinking up north, the anti-sports bar, and the benefits of being weird. 🍻🍺

Have a good evening all!
For today’s @ftweekend.com I am at The Porter’s Table inside the £73million Guinness Brewery development in London’s Covent Garden. And despite some okay cooking, wondering whether an overblown marketing exercise can really produce a good restaurant (TLDR: no)

We had some dodgy schnapps in Heidelberg on a work trip last year...
The resulting spontaneous fermentation took place in a single ancient 350 litre barrel, and was left to mature for three years.
The resulting beer was bottled without the usual priming sugar (so no carbonation was produced) and given time to rest in bottle before release.
The elusive oregon trail red ipa is 👌🏼
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
