@WhereandBack @Boulevard_Beer I haven't had a fresh one in ages. I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

These old cork-and-cage Smokestack Series 750ml bottles from @Boulevard_Beer are great. Unfortunately, sometimes the carbonation doesn't survive the (inexcusably) long journey from beer cellar to glass. But I still enjoyed this Rye-on-Rye from 2014. Cheers! 🍻 #DrinkCheck

in the world of “marketing” people over index on tactics, channels, and strategies, but the entire goal of the effort, whether a facebook ad, an OOH billboard, a TV spot, or an email is to get people to care about the thing you are selling. The foundational skill that makes you good at any of that is being a good copywriter. Because good copywriting is the result of good research and customer understanding. If you can write copy that converts, or gets attention, you've likely figured out all the prerequisite stuff. Channels and tactics are the ‘last mile.’

@Happyhourguys I've seen it too! Equal parts lazy and obnoxious.

@mybeerbuzz @crhammockbrew Possibly the first instance of the '90s sliding into a brewery's DMs in 2026 to suggest a beer name.

@Happyhourguys A plucky little brewery that marched to the beat of its own drum. Sad to hear this news.

Here's hoping your holidays have been the merriest! May the Christmas cheer (in this case @Block15Brewing) last until the end of the year.

Die Hard is a Christmas movie. And in this house @Boulevard_Beer Rye on Rye is a #Christmasbeer.

@TroegsJason @LittleCongress Wow, thanks for sharing. Another reminder of how small our world is and how important it is to stand up for the disenfranchised and less fortunate, no matter who is watching.

@LittleCongress @WhereandBack Sue is my cousin & I couldn’t be more proud of her. We should all be horrified that these kinds of acts are being permitted here. What happened to her is not #fakenews. A neighbor shot video of her being detained. The ICE account is a complete fabrication.

ICE cut off her wedding ring.
Sue Tincher is a 55-year-old American citizen: a grandmother, 5’4’, and white. Just in case you thought you’d be safe.
She walked to her neighbor’s house after getting alerts that ICE was nearby. She stood across the street and asked an officer if they were ICE. They told her to “get back.” She didn’t move.
Seconds later, they threw her to the ground, handcuffed her, and hauled her away. She spent five hours in leg shackles at a federal building. Agents cut off her wedding ring and threatened to pepper-spray her in the truck. Her husband spent all day trying to find where they’d taken her. Federal officials wouldn’t tell him.
Her "crime" was simply standing on a public street, watching, and asking questions.
Read that again: here in Minnesota, a U.S. citizen was arrested, restrained, and disappeared for hours, not for interfering, not for resisting, but for asking a question.
If they can arrest Sue Tincher for standing on a public sidewalk, they can arrest anyone.
Immigration attorneys said they’re seeing constitutional violations every single day now. I’m running because we need leaders who will call this what it is- un-American, unconstitutional, and unacceptable.
Sue Tincher stood up.
I’m standing up.
We must all stand up.
