Hanging out in a bar in the CA Central Coast where the bartender keeps cancelling juke box selections to play more Paramore. Yes! (Long Island Iced Tea for effect)

I haven't had an Oregon Trail for waaaay too long. Such a good beer. #bskybeer

"Liquid Green – cutting through the myriad of new liquid hop aroma products"

Just had new piece published in Brewers Journal on how we've used liquid hop products to drive up packaged yield.

Today has been tough - waking up to news that one of my old classmates couldn’t face life any more. Please, no replies (I’m honestly fine) but I pray others can find the strength talk to folk if they’re struggling, no matter how hard that first step is x

Thanks Dom. I really appreciate your kind words x

Andy Parker @tabamatu.bsky.social · Jul 11

QCing the batch of OT we’re sending to the CBoB final. I don’t know what else we can do with this beer. This batch is pure OT. We’re firing our absolute best shot and hoping for the best. That’s all we can do. To even be in the mix a brewing career highlight!
