Hazy IPA with some lactose. Erebus, el Dorado, zappa, krush hop hash and hbc 1019 hop hash in whirlpool and Erebus, zappa and el Dorado as a dry hop. Soft mouthfeel. Nice creaminess. Tropical, slight bitterness but love the overall fruitiness. Great color after a month. No oxidation

Oh boy. First medals for me at liquid poetry slam in Colorado. Maibock won another silver and the newest French cider won a gold medal in its first comp. Pretty sweet hardware coming my way.

Well my favorite weekend of the year is over now. Can't wait for next year. The Michigan Homebrew festival! 19 clubs, about 200 options on draft. On Saturday the awards for the Michigan Beer Cup are handed out. Three silvers and a bronze for 5 entries is not too shabby. Awesome community!

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

The grasshopper gets it — divide and conquer. Today's oligarchs use the same playbook. But together, we have all the power. Watch.

Just a reminder that Trump, the President and MAGA's "Daddy," is a rapist who was ordered to pay E. Jean Carroll $6 million this week. Totally normal in America, not even big news.

9% imperial brown ale that aged in a 10 gallon former bourbon barrel that last held maple syrup. It ended with a sour bug in it. Brewed in 2024 but finally kegged it off. Bretty with notes of maple, chocolate, caramel. Very easily hides the ABV. #beersky #homebrewing

Cheers bluesky! A ton of yardwork on a hot summer day deserves a cigar and a homebrew blood orange sangria from on tap in the basement. On the rocks with tart cherries, peaches, strawberries and mint. #beersky #homebrewsky #homebrewing

NBA is rigged! when Spurs had 29 point lead the game should have been immediately stopped and Spurs declared winner. Instead officials decides to play "4th quarter?" and Knicks "somehow" score enough baskets to win. Fraud!

How can he talk so fast and have all the right words come out? 🤣🤣🤣 Texans - maybe look up the word vegan before you accuse people of it, not that there's anything wrong with that. #traecrowder #vegan

Trae Crowder nailed it! Texas voters now have a clear choice between James Talarico & Ken Paxton. One is talking about service, integrity & the future. The other comes with years of controversy & scandal! Texas deserves better! #TurnTexasBlue #JamesTalarico #TraeCrowder #TexasPolitics #SheShed

NEW: lots of you have sent me this article asking for my thoughts. I’ve been able to confirm it. Just as she says, Trump’s administration is staging vote.gov on a non-government cloudflare account under the EOP where there’s no oversight or accounting. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/thedreyd...

open.substack.comI found a second vote.gov — and it's registered to the White HouseThere is a moment in every investigation where the thing you have been looking for finds you instead.

There is so much poetry in Stephen Colbert celebrating his finale on the exact stage where the Beatles changed culture in 1964. Singing "Hello Goodbye" surrounded by his family, his band, and his crew before Paul McCartney flipped the final power switch. This was the perfect full-circle goodbye!

Stephen Colbert and David Letterman throwing things off the Ed Sullivan Theater. Colbert: “Anything you’d like to say, Dave?” Letterman: “In the words of the great Edward R. Murrow to CBS: ‘Good night and good luck, motherfuckers.’”

This Georgian brewing tradition seems very old and distinctive. Interestingly, they do use hops, but they don’t seem to have lauter tuns.

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals. That amounts to $456,621 per hour. But how are you doing?

Had an enjoyable birthday yesterday. All the family over, playing with all the littles keeps me feeling young. Had some great beers and sippers. Go Big Ten football! Happy new year to everyone here on bluesky and may your 2026 be fortuitous #beersky
