We do. It’s a fact.

It was a bit of a shock and disappointment that a brewery in a neighborhood (Bushwick) that is flooded with art and artists, and is known for its own artwork, would use AI. Happy they took quick action, but damn.

It seems kinda sad, but you can’t say they didn’t poutine their time here in the US.

I will do it. Just for you, I will do it.

Yikes. Damn place is falling apart. I’ll do my best to fix things on my layover.

Yeah, I saw that. Unfortunate. Looked like a great place. Also saw the shop Bierkiste just had an eventful, bittersweet closing. Checkout their IG page for pics/video. instagram.com/p/DQtmkYMCM8C/

Thanks! I’ll see what I can do about the recipe. I’m stopping in Munich en route to snowboard in Austria. So, I’ll already have a ski mask and some gloves. Essential heist gear.

Thanks for all the tips. Two other questions. 1. Is the Beer and Oktoberfest a total waste? I’m drawn in by the drinkware collection. 2. What’s a good bottle shop, particularly one that might have Franconian beer? I already have Die Bierothek on my radar.
