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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
