Random Beer Thoughts: December 2020

The combination of some time off from work, so more time to look at social media, and a bunch of year-end pieces means much more content for my (slightly late) beer thoughts and links column in December. Look forward to some year-end stuff from me in the next week or so, I have a couple […]

Random Beer Thoughts: November 2020

Not much of an intro to this month’s beer thoughts and links. I am still doing my best to plug away at Hoppy Boston a much as I can. My time on social media is pretty limited, but I was able to dig up a handful of interesting articles to share this month. As always, […]

Random Beer Thoughts: October 2020

This is going to be another relatively short beer thoughts/links column, it seems like many of the outlets I rely on for content are struggling with the pandemic, and many breweries are just trying to get by. Also, my time is stretched pretty thin right now, so I have less time to search online for […]

Random Beer Thoughts: September 2020

My beer thoughts/links article for September will be a little shorter than normal. Some of this is due to issues with time, I am crazy busy right now and have much less time to search for articles about beer on social media. To be honest, while I still love tasting and discussing new beers and […]

Random Beer Thoughts: August 2020

Things have gotten a little crazy at work and in life recently, even more than “normal” or even “the 2020 version of normal”, so I’ve had to cut back a little on Hoppy Boston posts. That will probably be a trend for the foreseeable future, but I will try to keep a somewhat regular flow […]

Random Beer Thoughts: July 2020

The issue of exploding fruited beers was back in the spotlight after reports of Trillium Daily Serving cans exploding when warmed. Jim Vorel at Paste had some thoughts on this phenomenon and Trillium’s response. My thoughts were pretty blunt, if a beer explodes it is the brewers fault, and it is ridiculous to blame the […]

Random Beer Thoughts: June 2020

At the beginning of the month I wrote an article about how it’s tough to get fired up to write about beer with everything going on in the country/world right now. This is still a struggle for me, but it was cathartic to put some of my feeling about all of these topics down in […]

Random Beer Thoughts: April 2020

Happy end of April, we survived a full month of quarantine. I hope everyone is staying healthy, safe, and relatively sane. Needless to say, most of the links this month have to do with COVID-19, and it’s effect on the brewing industry. Earlier this month I wrote some thoughts of my own on life right […]

Random Beer Thoughts: March 2020

I have a kind of limited thoughts/links article this month and most of it is on the same topic. This has been the craziest few weeks of my life from a world events perspective, I am honestly not sure what to compare it to. The pandemic has affected us all in some ways, I am […]

Random Beer Thoughts: February 2020

A group of beer writers, enthusiasts, and brewers recently started #FlagshipFebruary, designating this month to honor flagship beers in an era when many breweries are constantly rotating new beers in and out. I wrote an article on why, in a time when beer drinkers have nearly limitless options, flagship beers are more important than ever. […]
