Today's @arlbrew.bsky.social advent beer is Halfway Crooks Pintje Belgian-style pilsner. It's not bad, definitely different than what I usually drink, but I think I'm good with just one.

Still catching up... @arlbrew.bsky.social The Brew Shop advent beer - The Veil Soft Style hazy DIPA. Not a "Christmas" beer per se but still 8%. Like most of The Veil's beers I like it.

If you don't have TikTok click on the post and someone broke down the video so it fits on here.
I genuinely don't know if this is a "Minnesotan" thing or an "old guy of a certain age" thing but in case it's Minnesotan and people need an anger translator: this guy is so angry he could just about set something on fire with his mind.
This one isn’t downloadable but if you have TikTok go watch it. Well worth your time www.tiktok.com/t/ZTr4gRL7v/

The 11th advent beer from @arlbrew.bsky.social The Brew Shop! Adroit Theory Revenge of the Damned English style porter with coffee and cacao. Been a while since I had an Adroit Theory. It's tasty.

Of course it's just hours after I've done all my laundry, and while wearing one of my favorite tshirts, that I take a bite out of my taco and get ranch sauce all over me.

It only took one basic anthropology class for me to decide Noam Chomsky is an asshole.
Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.

Okay! Back to our hijinks! The Brew Shop advent beer for today is Humble Sea Noodle Arms foggy IPA. I'm not necessarily anti-hazy IPA...I just got tired of clumps of detritus in the bottom of my cans. This is tasty! Will it clump? Let's see.

Oh man, I've been a big fan of John Varley. Back in the mid '90s I posted on USENET about Steel Beach and he responded to me. I was flabbergasted that the *author* responded to *me*!
News is coming to me via friends on Facebook, and via Fancyclopedia, that John Varley, who wrote Millennium, Steel Beach, and the Gaea trilogy (Titan, Wizard, Demon) has died. He was an excellent writer in the Campbell/Heinlein tradition, and I dug him a lot in my teens and early 20s. RIP.

Hey @catoctincreek.bsky.social - a salted caramel applejack sour. 2 oz Catoctin Creek applejack, 1 oz Crown Royal Salted Caramel, 1 oz lemon. It's not bad! I may add a bit of simple syrup next time but it doesn't *need* it.

Today's Advent beer from The Brew Shop @arlbrew.bsky.social is one I had just recently - Parish West Coast Ghost DIPA. As my day to day drinking beer tends to be west coast IPAs I am happy to have it!
