Years after craft beer hype peaked, Albany’s @FidensBrewing is attracting huge lines—and even greater fervor—for its hazy IPAs. In his new Signifier, @WillCleveland13 explores how the brewery made the scene, and the style, feel new again.

Long overshadowed by the city’s spectacular beaches, food, and entertainment, Los Angeles’ cocktail scene might not look exactly the same as those celebrated in other major international cities, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less robust and exciting. https://t.co/tg3stjWkEh

Can cities also be wild spaces? As @clairembullen writes in her new Olly Olly story about urban walking, her home city of London offers residents their own great outdoors. https://t.co/zhbDLsBDoe

From its roots in ancient Egypt to modern Black culture in America, the ritual of pouring liquid out for the dead has served communities as a symbol of commemoration, cultural preservation, and celebration. https://t.co/16nX2RmBUv

@jimplachy hey at least the link works

On Tuesday, @mpkiser announced Good Beer Hunting was ending its run. The next day, the @BrewersAssoc announced that Bob Pease was stepping down as CEO after ten years in the job. Some thoughts about these big transitions.

“Often, when going over a story that I’m in the midst of writing, I’ve said to myself “If GBH covered mountain biking, would they run this story? Or would they reject it and tell me to be better?”

Brasserie de la Mule has an unusual focus for a Belgian brewery: craft lagers. That emphasis on classic German styles has proven to be a winning approach, earning plaudits from local brewers & a growing fan base in the historic neighborhood of Schaerbeek. https://t.co/mQofk0LufH

So long, and thanks for all the fish

Things are going on hiatus at GBH, but we still have a small collection of stories and podcasts that will be published in the coming weeks. Appreciate all the readers and listeners who've shared their time with our incredible breadth of work.

.@goodbeerhunting has truly been a unique platform, publishing great stories that would have never found a home elsewhere

It allowed me to work on meaningful pieces like this one: https://t.co/RjXk8ocfvR which eventually won an award from @nagbw

You'll be sorely missed

[Brian Alberts @Brewed_Culture]

When @wayfarerstudy, @beermadeclear, @petercarrjones, and I came to them with an insane 10k word series, they platformed not only the text but the community discussions, events, follow-up research, and collab beer that resulted, without hesitation.

That's support.

[Brian Alberts @Brewed_Culture]

When I proposed narrative-format podcasting on beer history, GBH didn't hesitate to literally and figuratively hand me a microphone.

They helped me structure episodes, taught me how to record in my closet, and let me run with topics that I'm not sure other pubs would take on.

[Brian Alberts @Brewed_Culture]

I really can't stress that enough. GBH (the team and the community) believed in and supported me at a time when, inside, I didn't really believe in myself.

It meant the world to me to find a positive space that not only accepted my work, but gave it room to breathe.

[Brian Alberts @Brewed_Culture]

Since 2018, I wrote or co-wrote some 54k words for @goodbeerhunting, plus several podcast scripts in the 4.5-9k range. My doctoral thesis was ~70k words.

My lasting thought is that I wish I'd fit more in.

Why? Because GBH was/is a community that builds, uplifts, and inspires.🧵

[Nick Yoder @Nyoder88]

GBH is the reason I listen to too many podcasts. Consistently one of the best voices in beer (& beyond lately - the outdoors stuff has been top notch), I’ve visited so many breweries b/c GBH told their story. And I’m forever grateful they gave me a platform w/ multiple B-Rolls

[Ray Ricky Rivera @RayRickyRivera]

THANK YOU @mpkiser @goodbeerhunting for giving me the opportunity to make a tiny contribution to your massive universe of stories. Forever grateful.

What an amazing history from blog to internationally recognized platform.

I toast to your legacy & impact. Long live GBH! 🍻

[Kate Bernot @kbernot]

Knowing when and how stories should end is a difficult skill to master, particularly for a writer. Today I'm celebrating a publication that meant so much to me as a reporter and as a reader.

It's better to burn out than fade away, and GBH leaves an unmatched legacy.
