Well, looks like @rayroa is out here giving it to 'em! This is a great piece on the frustration of seeing your neighbors behave like such absolute maniacs. I say go ahead and put them on record.

I wrote about Coco Cocktails a few years back after drinking a ton of them to test the “no hangover” claim (I did not get a hangover).
The company just started making them again, so they sent me some freebies to sample. Check out those nutrition facts!
First time back at @coppertail in well over a year and I’m very impressed with the fantastic vegan options and this juice-drenched Farmers IPA.
Not pictured: a Cz pils collab with Oxbow that is genuinely world-class and one of the best local brews I’ve encountered.
I really wished I believed that the offices of @RonDeSantisFL and @HalseyBeshears would listen to all of the letters and calls from their constituents, but they’ve made it CRYSTAL clear that they don’t care.
Shout out to @ghosttequila for sending me this bottle of surprisingly tasty tequila! The neat pour was pretty intense, but in a classic margarita? Wow, I'm sold. The heat level is perfect. I'll try it in a paloma next.
Shout out to the @MotorworksBrew crew—I placed a big to-go order for a camping weekend but didn’t realize they closed early today. An employee left a WEDDING to grab my order for me. Seriously above and beyond!
Those damn Facebook targeted ads got me AGAIN, and this time it’s for... non-alcoholic gin? It’s lacking the alcoholic bite, of course, but the coriander and juniper packs a punch. Very tasty G&T.
Añejo: I was an “I don’t like tequila” guy until a buddy turned me onto a good añejo some years ago. It will always be my favorite style. This one is decidedly oak-forward on the nose, with a great caramel sweetness to go with some subtle smoke. Salud!
Took me a while to get around to it, but I’m finally going to taste test this new (to me) tequila label, generously provided to me by the folks at @AmbharTequila! Stay tuned.
Reposado: the nose is a bit smoky, even a little briny. Scotchlike, though not intense like an Islay malt (sorry, gotta go with what my palate knows). A little sweetness in the mix. Great balance.
Plata: black pepper and lemon. Mildly earthy finish. Scary smooth! Definitely got for a shot, but I am enjoying it neat. In fact, I’d prefer it that way.
One upside to all this: I’m finally getting around to trying mail swag, like this coconut water + sustainable coffee stout from @sufferfestbeer. 4.5% abv, but impressively velvety and robust, with outstanding coconut and coffee notes. I sincerely love it!
Hey, @Dissentbrew had a really cool idea to host a virtual bottle share on FB. I'll be posting some weird beers in the coming weeks — I've sure got enough of them hanging around!

Here's another recent local craft #beeroftheweek, this time from @StationsOfCraft — a cocktail-themed beer with barleywine instead of rum? Yeah, I'm in.

I'm weeks behind on posting my local craft #beeroftheweek features, but better late than never, right? I'm really digging the lager-centric approach at @BarrieHaus in Tampa, and I was especially impressed by their Munich dunkel. Check it out!

I've been on Twitter vacation for a bit, and I even forgot to post my LAST #barflyonthewall column from December. Nearly 500 bars visited over nearly a decade! How did I get this gig, again? @TB_Times@tbtnewspaper
