@RightWingWatch I haven’t seen Glenn Beck in years. He sure has gotten fat.

At Twitter’s crucible moment, the words of poet Bob Dylan come to mind

“Hey, hey Woody Guthrie I wrote you a song,
’Bout a funny ol’ world that’s a-comin’ along,
Seems sick and it’s hungry, it’s tired and it’s torn,
It looks like it’s a-dyin’ and it’s hardly been born.”

Hello all- for what it matters, I’m taking a pause from Twitter until I see if it’s new ownership mitigates hate speech and staunches the normalization of emotional and physical violence.

And, pretty good entertainment slate at Den Herberg.

[R. A. Cole @StudyBrewing]

Mr. Bart Devillé and his daughter gave us a tour of the Den Herberg brewery in Buizingen. They were in the middle of the busyness of adding new tanks and also tasting their first batches of whisky. Very nice family and great beers!

Walked another long segment of the Charleroi/Brussels Canal. Tubize to Halle, passing Lembeek. Rested at Café De Fazant, then recrossed the canal and train tracks to Den Herberg. Intent is to eventually walk the waterway from South Belgium, through Brussels, ending in Antwerp.

@ratchellle @FermentHQ “I was no longer tasting to prove myself, but to know myself.” Thank you for articulating this. It is so liberating for me to be able to approach beer from that perspective.

Walked another segment of the Charleroi-Brussels canal today. Finished with a stop at Cantillon and then later in Saint-Gilles for what will likely be (sadly) the final L’Annex Saison of the 2022 season for me.

@Jopolkadot @SoyNuriaPerez Love this, and the many other murals in Brussels.

[R. A. Cole @StudyBrewing]

Walked through Northern France today, along the Sambre River. Train/bus to Erquelinnes and then zigs and zags across the Belgium/France border. Later trained to Thuin for a revisit and re-climb of their bell tower. For refreshments, L'Estaminet had a very good beer menu.

[R. A. Cole @StudyBrewing]

25,000+ folks turned out.

Very good energy at the Climate March, today in @BelPhenomenal. Starting at Brussels Nord station and ending at Parc du Cinquantenaire. (Climate map is posted with permission.)
