The thing about Philadelphia vs Phoenix is that I'm going to get a year's worth of one-way streets in one afternoon.

The rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated

Can a dive bar have really good French onion soup? Apparently #LocustRendezvous in #Philly can. A google search says it's kind of a thing here. 7 or 8 nearby bars have it. @clueheywood.bluesjy.social do you have a read on this in AZ. I can only think of Casey Moores in Tempe and Flag Brew in Flag.

The war in Iran has knock-on effects for the beer industry in the form of higher fuel costs, higher input prices (including aluminum … again), and reduced consumer spending. Even if the conflict were to miraculously resolve tomorrow, effects are likely to persist well into 2027:

I took in a game yesterday at Jamsil Stadium. It was amazing.

Guys, I found Chi-rea. The pizza has its own slaw banchan. Or maybe the Ranch has its own slaw and pickles I don't know. I'll put our a colslawrone guide on it pretty soon. #gooseislandseoul #gooseisland

The Winslow, "Standing on a Corner" part of Seoul aka Gangnam-gu.

Beer 맥주 Jamsil Stadium. Lotte Giants vs LG Twins

Another market breakfast. Summer Radish Kimchi Cold soup for me!

Time for a kitchen beer. Namsan Mountain Summer Mountain Ale. Kabrew- Premium Citra Ale

Might be a hotel beer

The Strait of Hormuz is turning into the Do Lung Bridge of our little Petrocalypse Now.

Just here in the land of the free drinking my street beers and my 100% Real Carbonated Beer, suckers.

I posted earlier but I keep thinking about it. You gotta have serious chutzpah to tell the pope he MUST be on the side of the U.S.

"i could probably pilot a ship through the straight of hormuz" -next big thing 80% of men secretly believe about themselves

서울에서 좋은 아침입니다 Good Morning from Seoul

Agree 100% . (Ron Fournier longtime AP bureau chief in DC.)

So... Dick Arrow?

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

I like to imagine that Sauer is making all these arguments in comically ill-fitting shoes

With limited exception, beer starts getting worse as soon as you package it

Looks like airports are going to have a bad case of the Mondays.

Back to the 100°. That's 38C to my metric, right hand driving friends.

Best beers I had in Burton were at Burton Bridge Brewery.

The ghosts of Bass Burton.

Devonshire Arms. Burton-upon-Trent. Longtime CAMRA pub of the year. And snake den of 1 (2 seasonally).

Burton Bridge Brewery

Why yes. I come from where the deer and antelope play... Wait. A genera of the bovidea... The Gemsbok or African Oryx (Oryx gazella) is behind me is he. At the House of Trembling Madness, York UK.

Private Belhaven tour with Chris. Belhaven established in 1719. Before your mom was born even.

Melville kilt acquired. Thanks Howie at 21st Century kilts on High St. Edinburgh.

The more records are behind me aren't they.

Of local interest. It's snowing on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh.

I re-created this classic Jam album cover. But as an old...

"American alcohol remains the only product completely barred from import in nearly all Canadian provinces. Full-year 2025 data now confirms this is the most catastrophic single-year trade disruption in the history of U.S. wine exports." wineinstitute.org/wp-content/u...

Won't be making it to the Chiswick brewery this trip but this will do. Summoning @fullersjohn.bsky.social back to this platform.

Wes Anderson Archives at the Design Museum in Kensington. This was fun.

I am soon flying to London for 2 days and driving to Edinburgh for 2 and then slowly making my way back. Newcastle, Tan Hill, the Dales, York, Timothy Taylor. History, Pubs, Cask Ales and other ephemera. Let me hear your desires if you were in the left (passenger) seat.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

Language evolves. Go ask your Latin high school teacher.

Seems troubling. More troubling would be the idea that the Administration might have bombed Iran without expecting this.

Guys, it's been a legit 24 hours, and I am not seeing this beer yet. What gives?

Not sure if everyone saw this M&A news that Tilray acquired a controversial brand.

Today one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Tempe turned 50 today, Little Szechuan hm. I put on the advocacy hat today and secured a couple of Commendations from Governor Hobbs and @repgregstanton.bsky.social because Ted and Swanie are such treasures. The celebration continues thru March.

I've been trying to make turkey ham. I've been fairly successful at making a deli-style requiring grinding various cuts of turkey. This time I tried to do a ham steak by brining a breast. Probably need to lengthen the soakto 4 days over 2. The pink means it's working.

54-40's new album should be called, "Polk across the Hog Line". I will not be answering questions.

Maybe a bit insensitive on Sensitive Sunday. #replacements #arizonabeerweek

Nightshirt for your paper? You know you can wait until daybreak when the town crier arrives.
