5 breweries in 6 weeks: Chicago’s craft beer closures have brewers on guard There’s dramatic change afoot in Chicago’s craft beer industry. Who will stay afloat?

I feel bad for the beer folks in Chicago. Still lots of great choices, but this is no fun.

I may be done with Threads, so maybe expect more posts here…?

Wow.

I’m fine if you continue to mock us, but I draw the line at being nuked. Please don’t do that.

From a £1bn dream to a brutal collapse: How Brewdog hit the rocks The rise and fall of the garage start-up which set out to revolutionise the brewing industry.

This is “old news” now, but this story has been repeated multiple times in multiple industries (most notably technology, where I used to be) - early wild success, hubris, spectacular crash. Sad to see.

Why can you like your own posts? Do any of you do this?

I’m willing to admit I may be misinformed, but from here it sure seems like Tilray is “where breweries go to die.” #brewdog

With all appropriate sympathy to those still buried in snow - it is WAY too early for this.

I’ve been processing this all day. I’ve been suffering from “good people have bad things happen, while evil people suffer no consequences”. Impeachment is not enough. There is nothing strong enough to punish this evil. 😢

You know, I think I’m gonna keep it. I may not drink the beer, but it’s very cool and I’m grateful to The Silver Stamp, one of my favorite beer places.

I won this from a raffle at the 5th anniversary of the Silver Stamp. It’s cool, but somehow not really me 😉. I’ll figure it out!

With appropriate apologies to our friends in the Northeast - evening falls and it’s only 67°F here. (~19°C). We will survive. (Seriously, stay safe, folks.)

I may never drink again. Until Tuesday.

Happy 5th Anniversary to The Silver Stamp! Best damn beer bar around - I said what I said! (P.s. toasting with a Pliny the Younger)

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

Some clown.

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

I know there are a lot of people who probably have it worse (including the screaming guy), but man this sucks. I could use a beer.

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.

p.s. if you wonder why I’m posting stupid stuff while the world around us (or US) goes to shit - it’s a defense mechanism. That, and beer.

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

Hey - is that Marty? 👋

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

Well, you seem nice. Cunt.
