AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! We bought a condo!!!!!

It’s Friday. Start with a Czech Pils. Foam, rinse, repeat.

Well, this could make my trip to Denver next week with the @oldguybeercrew.bsky.social a bit…awkward.

Sorry, VGK haters. We might not win the cup - we might not even win this series, but for now I’m enjoying those salty tears.

You know it’s been a week when I start with a big-ass DIPA. Happy Friday.

Shit shit shit shit shit. No, I don’t want to elaborate.

Starting my weekend off with a Saison. Not a sour one or a banana bomb. A nice dry, crisp one from CraftHaus.

I know I’m late, but sing it with me… White House press corps attack, And when they got back, then…

Well, that was doing it the hard way, but ok. #GoKnightsGo #VGK

Nice article in @sdbeernews.bsky.social talking to the folks at FW about the Stone acquisition. Maybe they should be called FireStone Walker now. 😉 sandiegobeer.news/firestone-wa...

Well, shit. Are you surprised?

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $271B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $231B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Neon Desert Neon Haze straight from the brite tank. So fresh, really good.

Just started collecting tin tackers so we don’t have too many yet, but I just picked up my 1st Oregon brewery. And of course I’ve been to every brewery represented…

Mojave Brewing wins a bronze at World Beer Cup in Barrel Aged and experimental cider! Congrats! And I got to be at the brewery when it was announced!

Wow. allaboutbeer.com/firestone-wa...

Unique check-in #4,200 at Grand Fir Brewing in Portland. The beer is Big Mosaic Tessellation, an all-Mosaic WCIPA. Really good!

Have I mentioned that Portland has some pretty good beer? (I’m in Oregon, but it applies to Maine too.)

Don’t guess if you already know before seeing this, but what city am I in?

Barrel-aged Doppelbock at @deschutesbrewery.bsky.social pub in Portland. Very nice, and hopefully the first stop of several on this trip…

Glad to say this is quite tasty!

Hoping to go to Budapest later this year. So glad that even though Magyar is right wing, Orbán got his ass handed to him. Well done Hungary! Now we have to follow suit. #bluewave

I happen to really like IPAs and lagers, but I’m not so big on Hefeweizens or kettle sours. The point is, drink what you like! Cheers - there’s no wrong answer, right @pintsandpanels.bsky.social ?

My succinct Strait of Hormuz synopsis:

How. Cool. Was. That???

Friday beer is a good choice in any light.

I don’t usually buy multipacks at the beer store, but I figure this pretty fresh @pfriembeer.bsky.social Earth Day IPA is worth a whirl. Looking forward to it! #celebrateOregonBeer

RIP Davey Lopes.

It’s #nationalbeerday ! Here’s to the end of the freaking world!

Elon Musk is now worth over $800 billion. Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

HOW. BOUT. THEM. BRUINS?! National Champs! #ncaawbb

Havin’ a Giggle (Juice). Double IPA from CraftHaus. 10.2% of hilarity. I’ll take it after this week.

WTF. www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/...

Let’s go A’s!

It’s Friday. We (maybe barely) made it through another week. Have a beer. You earned it.

POV you’re reading the glass after having a few.

Random observation as I leave Nashville - Broadway here is like Bourbon St without the foul smells and with about 10x the people and noise.

Tall boy of Fat Tire while watching country music (honky-tonk) at The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Ok, not my normal music genre, but fun so far. Yee Haw!

Never felt more like singin’ the blues…

According to Untappd, I’ve now checked in a beer at 500 breweries. Far from the thousands others have done, but I’ll take it. BTW I’m at Bearded Iris Brewing in Nashville.

At Barrique Brewing and Blending in Nashville - I did NOT know they’re closing down until they find a new location! What a travesty!

So, a Vegas guy goes to a beer bar in Nashville, orders a beer from Chicago, and the local rep from that brewery ( @maplewoodbrew.bsky.social ) is at the bar. What are the odds?

Chuck Norris doesn’t die. He just goes to kick ass in a new neighborhood.

Damn - here I am in Nashville and I didn’t know the Preds were hosting the Knights on Saturday…should have brought my VGK gear.

First beer in Nashville (at Martin’s BBQ joint) is a Bearded Iris(h)! 😉

By DNA, Ancestry tells me I’m 50% Irish. So that half of me says “Sláinte! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!” The other half of me is happy to go along, especially if both halves get a beer! 🍺 ☘️

Irish coffee stout with a whiskey cold foam on top - sort of a cross between an Irish coffee and a beer float. Tasty!

We love Belgian beer. Did you know one of us is of Belgian descent? Hint - it’s not me. (GB)

I feel bad for the beer folks in Chicago. Still lots of great choices, but this is no fun. chicago.suntimes.com/food-drink/2...
