Finally. Pliny the Younger. Worth the wait.

Ok, look - as a 49er fan, I don’t cheer for the Seahawks, but as a USC alum, I’m happy for Sam Darnold and the other SC alums on Seattle’s roster. Congrats - Seahawks definitely deserved to win. #superbowl

Always enjoy #comradeday at CraftHaus Brewery in Vegas, and this year’s did not disappoint.

So I’m sitting in the ER with my dad, who’s been here since this morning because there are no room to move him to (he’s been admitted). Outside the curtain is an individual who has been screaming “help” and “call the police” regularly because he doesn’t believe he should be here.

Some days just suck. Today is one of those.

My God, Facebook is a cesspool. A cesspool crawling with MAGAts. Sorry, sometimes the obvious is just overwhelming. So many people suck.

This January has been the longest ten years of my life.

Hey @espn.com , need a proofreader?

This was posted in the new Epstein files release and removed about 20 mins later. Wonder why that is.

One thing living with cats has taught me is how to sit very still. #cats

I remember where I was exactly 40 years ago. For some reason I woke up thinking about it. #Challenger

Never a bad choice.

Stop asking me to sign petitions. Stop asking me to take “surveys”. And for God’s sake, stop asking me to send money. Congress, just do your fucking job. #25thNow

I’m still here - I’m just in Kauai, so kit takes a little longer for the electrons to propagate from here.

Today would have been my mom’s birthday. I miss her a lot. Happy Birthday, Mom.

Pizza and beer before 7:30am. (Airport) breakfast of champions.

Why do &$)(5;!?:*^#} appliances always fail on Sunday?

I may only get to say this today (but ya never know), but - NINERS!

He’s right behind me, isn’t he?

Ya know what? If you run a brewery account, let me know and I’ll give you a follow (or if I just see you randomly, I’ll follow). Why not? I’m not Grandpa doomscroll, I’m Grandpa Beer! #brewery

I have nothing witty or positive to say this week, but after (gestures around) all this, I hate to say I needed a beer, but I did. Stay safe, friends.

Never let a single goddamned person on the Right ever claim again that they’re the party of law and order without laughing in their lying face.

I want my beer to be a reflection how I feel - cold and bitter.

I’ve been told there’s no truth to the rumor that the “CBS” in CBS News now stands for “Can’t Believe Shit”.

Donald Trump is now reposting videos on Truth Social suggesting that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had Melissa Hortman assassinated. This is objectively evil, and calling it out should not be political.

What the hell have I woken up to? JFC. No words.

Folks, January is tough for breweries. We’ve had enough closures - don’t be the reason we have more. Even if you order something NA, get out there and support local small businesses!!! Grandpa has spoken. Prost! 🍻

Thinking this is wrong is not radical. Thinking it isn’t is.

Outlasted by people in frog costumes.

Shall we get this party started? Here’s to 2025 - Good Riddance!!! Hope your 2026 is better! Prost!

Well, here’s a bit of good news for Vegas beer. Yay!

Jeff Alworth is always worth a read. Give this post a look - the issues and opportunities for Oregon beer are generally both a reflection of, and a harbinger for, what’s happening in beer across the US.

Drink beer. Support your local brewery.

Damn. Buck Rogers too. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

Everyone out there who’s a dual citizen, US/Somewhere else. If they make you choose, whatcha gonna do?

I know this sounds Pollyanna-ish, but do you think, for a little while, we could just stop killing each other? 😢

#cats POV - our cats on my lap after we’ve been gone a few days. Guess they missed us (although they like their cat-sitter). I would also say I’ve lost feeling in my legs.

Ok, I know folks who have checked in far more, and folks who pooh-pooh Untappd. However this is a milestone for me, and of course number 4,000 was a rauchbier!

Well, now they’re denying that they’re leaving, but provide no details. Way to rebuild the brand - clear as a hazy IPA. sfstandard.com/2025/12/05/a... sfstandard.com/2025/12/05/a...

What a week. Life is so short - drink the beer.

The wankers trying to take away my dual citizenship can fuck all the way off. In other news, I just heard I’m going to be the recipient of the 2025 World Rugby Prize for Chemistry.

Right - let’s “save” a tradional brand by throwing away everything that made it special. 🙄 www.americancraftbeer.com/beer-buzzkil...

I just bought 3 variants of Bourbon County Stout (Chocolate/Praline, Cherries, Heaven Hill Barrels), and didn’t buy the new 4-pack of small bottles of the base. AMA.

Damnit - Whamageddoned.

Here at a joint game view in Vegas for USC and UCLA with both alumni groups. Mixed feelings as an alum of both schools, but I have a favorite. 😉

HUDL Brewing in Las Vegas just announced they are closing next month. This is a big blow to the craft beer community in Vegas. Please get out and support your local brewery, and if you’re in Vegas, stop in and see the fine folks at HUDL before they close the doors. 😢🍺

On the occasion of my birthday, let me introduce the only person tha keeps me relatively sane. Next year will be 25 years of marriage to my fabulous wife Sharron.

Welp, another trip round the sun complete. I won’t mention my age, but I must say now I understand why “the kids” are running around saying those two numbers…😬

Gonna enjoy this while I can. Brilliant effort with 10 men. #everton
