@beermadeclear @jailbreakbrewco Thank you for the kind words 🙏

@intothebrew If your lager yeast pitch is at the "appropriate" cell count, if your oxygenation rate is correct, if your zinc levels are where they should be, if you spund at the correct time, etc., I have seen no empirical benefit to D rest temperature bumps

@joshchapman I love this! We have to catch up ASAP. I try to relegate these beers to the category of "I couldn't get away with this at work," but maybe one day I'll double mash two separate times with Maris Otter floor malt at work 😅

Here is a list of the names we know from the more than 11,500 Palestinian children killed during Israel’s continuing war on Gaza ⤵️

@DeptofbeerWine @PortCityBrew We've got nothing better to do

[Rob Fink @RobDFink]

@Eve6 Angel of the supermarket was a total ripoff of My Brain Hurts era Screeching Weasel, so thank you

[Rob Fink @RobDFink]

@fritzhahn @beermadeclear @930Club Man, Pegboy live would have been great. The whole "Strong Reaction" record is a Chicago punk classic, IMO.

[Rob Fink @RobDFink]

@katzenbrau Glad to have you back!

[Rob Fink @RobDFink]

@MarkLaFaro Hell yeah. I'm 100% Allbirds minus running Asics running shoes, and I've never looked back

[Rob Fink @RobDFink]

@BobbyBump Bobby, we need to run together, and also, I'm typically hungry after a run

[Rob Fink @RobDFink]

Made it through the new @UnitedWeDrink podcast with @BobbyBump, wow. Folks in our industry sorely need to discuss alcohol abuse with honesty. I have a 2 month break coming up, and listening to Bobby speak of his own experience helps give me the confidence to maybe take it further

[Rob Fink @RobDFink]

@jacobsberg This is well done, but far too nice to him, although "public intellectual" is a nice dig

[Rob Fink @RobDFink]

@JoelBrews @Oak_Aged 100%. "Will the customer know the difference?" is something I've heard multiple times at a previous employer. It's pathetic and makes the folks who believe there is no such thing as good enough look like compatriots of this mediocre "craft" profession of ours.

[Rob Fink @RobDFink]

@PhilRunco We'll just have to get up to Vermont then!

[Rob Fink @RobDFink]

@PhilRunco Both of those beers are objectively immaculate, but how they compare to others within their respective sub-styles is inherently subjective. I've had the off-chance luxury of 30 minute old Focal straight off the line, and it's hard for me to turn away from that!

[Rob Fink @RobDFink]

@PhilRunco They deserve to be in an entirely different category; British base malt, high sulfate water, decidedly more bitter, the OG Conan strain, less aggressive dry hop, etc. They fit into en vogue hazy IPA by way of influencing the use of ester-forward English yeast, and not much else

[Rob Fink @RobDFink]

@PhilRunco I love you, but this is incorrect.

[Rob Fink @RobDFink]

@jacewg @beermadeclear @LostLagers @der_ak @cicerone Please tell me you don't put that nonsense on pizza...

[Rob Fink @RobDFink]

@jacewg @beermadeclear @LostLagers @der_ak Sorry, you must accept my opinion, especially as a certified cicerone, right @cicerone ?

[Rob Fink @RobDFink]

@beermadeclear @LostLagers @der_ak Ranch is gross, though
