The major story in craft beer this month is pretty obvious, the pervasive issues with sexism, assault, and racism in the industry. While this has been a problem for a long time, the discussion on the issues really took off when two different contractors working near the new Notch Brewing site in Brighton made sexist […]
Not much of a preamble this month, just plugging away and getting through another month of this pandemic. The good news is that I got my second shot this weekend, my wife gets hers next week, most of my family, friends and co-workers are either fully vaccinated or well on their way. If you are […]
Another crazy month is COVID-land, and while there appears to be a light at the end of the tunnel, I imagine I am not the only one who is completely burned out. My time on beer social media has declined a bit, but I still managed to put together a thoughts/links article for March. As […]
My beer thoughts and links for February is a little late (obviously), these articles take some time to put together and I am struggling to find time in my schedule for much of anything right now. This article is still a monthly priority though, so I will find a way to keep getting it done, […]
After exclamations of joy about surviving 2020 we got into 2021 and January was more of the same in many ways (and even worse in a few). I didn’t really expect life to dramatically change from an arbitrary flip of the calendar, but was hoping there would be a little clearer light at the end […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
