Paul C. | Beer, explained.

@BasuAndGodin @ArponBasu @MAGodin It seems like MSL is now the face of the franchise. To what extent do you think this will play into courting FAs and potential draftees this summer. If the Habs are not in the playoff hunt again next year, is MSL at risk of not being extended or will he be offered a “bridge”?

Hello, loyal Notebook listeners ! @ArponBasu and @MAGodin are happy to take your questions once again for the Monday Mailbag. What do you got on your chest?

@saints_gambit @BeaumontDrinks Guess I’m a sales guy

@saints_gambit @BeaumontDrinks Man, the price of Czechvar has really gone up. Fully expected it to win a value list.

@PintsandPanels Löwenbräu.

CONTEST ALERT!!! If you can guess how many new (to me) beers I tried in 2023, you will win a FREE fist bump for you and a friend the next time I see you. Reply with you guess and tag the friend you want to share the fist bumps with.

@maximmorin Suggest you seek out some Vietnamese Cajun.

Headed to Dallas-Forth Worth this weekend. Send all your tex-mex and beer recos please and thanks 🙏

@TheThirstyWench So vampire?

@beercruncher April or November

If your favorite brewery had an English Mild recipe that you enjoyed, but they were only able to release it as a one-off once per year, what month would you like that to come out? Hypothetically of course...

@TheThirstyWench Hopefully more beautiful than not.. and that you weren’t actually standing there for five minutes.

@TheThirstyWench “Shits been cray”

@TheThirstyWench You’ve entered the rice high life.

@TheThirstyWench You’re about to experience the high life and it will be very hard to accept anything less from here on out.

@TheDonOfBeer 🤦‍♂️

@beerexplained True story: I once was at a fancy restaurant (now closed, unfortunately). They had a water menu that listed six different still waters and six different sparkling waters you could choose from. When I asked if they had a beer menu, they said they only had Heineken. 🤬

Guess who is the newest Contributor for Forbes.com! Hint, his name rhymes with Ton Dse. It says "Food & Drink" but you all know I'm only going to write about drink, and only one kind at that.

My dad, who's nearly 70, just sent me a picture of the beer menu of the brewery he's visiting for the first time. There are at least 45 different beers available (and probably more) 45... Folks. That's too many beers. That number should be 12...maybe 15. 🤦🏼‍♂️

@maximmorin Couldn’t just prompt chatGPT?

@MAGodin What a loss. I know that I’ll read your excellent work elsewhere soon enough! Best wishes!

After almost six years, today is my last day at The Athletic. At least I know it’s got nothing to do with the quality of my work. Thanks to the readers and thanks to those who listened to The Athletic Support podcast. It's been a lot of fun.

Looking to see some familiar faces on the tele!

@karonliu Hit up Brock Sandwich before they close for good!

Tofu khao soi and mango salad at Thai Nyyom, 1419 Bloor W. I love a place with a small menu.
