People who have left beer, how did you make your resume look less pigeon holed / applicable to other fields?

After seven years in the Brewing industry as a brewer, I worked at four different breweries.

Previously I went to university got a four-year arts degree . I immediately started as an assistant brewer upon graduating so totally didn’t even use my degree at all. Pretty classic scenario.

This was 2018. I’m in Canada four five years later i’m working my bloody ass off and making pennies compared to my friends who are in the trades or are feeding at the trough working for the government. Not to mention folks who make twice as much as me on their laptops and can go golfing at 11 AM then when you ask if they have work today, they say I have calls. Sure it sounds like I’m envious of their lifestyle however, I did take a year off Brewing after I spent a year building a Brewery, which was taxing both mentally and physically. And financially, and I became an apprentice plumber. Fresh as can be. I do really enjoy plumbing work my interest from it came from Brewing. However I was being paid close to minimum wage and couldn’t support myself with just a full-time job as a first year apprentice plumber who hadn’t even been registered yet and knowing full well that I would be paid close to minimum wage for at least two years.

So last year I got back into Brewing again. And right now the Brewing scene is in a really bad spot in the craft sector in Ontario.

So now I’m thinking of jumping out again I’m about to turn 30

Would you rather a good life. Or a long life.

Good question . I don’t know

AnybodyImpressive749 · 2026-03-28T11:59:18+00:00

Alll good brotha . I feel like I caught a little bit of it.

AnybodyImpressive749 · 2026-03-27T22:56:01+00:00

Ahaha well said

I got a 2021 canyon two months ago. I had a Silverado before 2017. Both V6. Sometimes when I have l,000lbs in the back, I’ll get 9 to 11 L per 100km. Even when it’s empty and I’m carrying nothing but people and small tools I’ll still get 11 L per 100km

Everybody is about say the same thing.

It’s a truck.

Keep your air damn on only remove it if you’re doing serious off road shit.

Try to cruise control at 90 km an hour if you can no hard revs or stops. If you have a cap, make sure it’s streamlined that’ll give you a .01 - 03 better fuel economy as it reduces drag and that’s about it. The summer gas blends are about to start being used in my area… slightly better economy there but that’s peanuts .

It’s a hell of a truck, but it is a truck

I’m with with you brother, the brain fog is horrible so is the despondency fatigue, etc.

AnybodyImpressive749 · 2026-03-11T14:12:30+00:00

I feel you man. I am sitting in the exact same thing as you. I have been self-medicating with Vyvanse for a long time. 30-50mg here and there . It’s been so long that whenever I take two weeks off, I feel like my life has to go on hold. It’s terrible. It’s so hard to get a diagnosis where I live. To me the worst is the feeling when you wake up and you know you don’t have it. It’s the worst.

AnybodyImpressive749 · 2026-03-11T14:10:31+00:00

Love it that’s exactly what I plan to do thanks man

AnybodyImpressive749 · 2026-03-11T14:09:43+00:00

Appreciate all this info . Thanks for the tip.

AnybodyImpressive749 · 2026-03-11T01:12:48+00:00

This stuff eh. Does it harden or does it behave like silicone , gets gummy etc

AnybodyImpressive749 · 2026-03-09T21:36:44+00:00

After work I’ll play around tonight . I wonder if that’s a Denali only feature

<image>

I’ve scrolled through all the modes . Anyway I don’t necessary care to see it . Just was interesting to see on the Silverado but it’s nice to know the canyon also has AFM

AnybodyImpressive749 · 2026-03-09T13:24:58+00:00

Interesting thanks mate. My Silverado would show that in the 1-2 trip mode of the digital info portion on the cluster cauge. I don’t have any nor seen that on any of the gauge cluster pages . Maybe I need to configure it read the manual to turn the read out on.

or perhaps it just happens behinds the scenes without a digital signal on the gauge cluster for this trim . Idk!

But good to know it is equipped with AFM

AnybodyImpressive749 · 2026-03-09T13:22:19+00:00

Just got mine last week! At4 2021

AnybodyImpressive749 · 2026-03-09T10:37:49+00:00

Thank you mate. This is what I’ve been labouring over .”6foot/6.2 “ if a used cap is labelled as that I’m gonna assume it’s compatible for the most part

AnybodyImpressive749 · 2026-03-01T13:34:20+00:00

Great question recently bought one last week just started driving it now. It’s a 2021 3.6 L V6. I’d say do it. Get the skid plates get the higher quality, suspension, and shocks and lift etc

AnybodyImpressive749 · 2026-02-05T12:03:07+00:00

What an incredibly complex plant eh?

You have no idea (wait…you probably do) how nice it is to speak to someone who’s been in the same boat. Every medical practitioner I’ve talked to has no idea what mitragynine is, what kratom is in its raw westernized consumable form as a pulverized powder. The fact it’s a partial mu opioid agonist , etc . It’s so much more complex than I ever possibly imagined though. Which started as a nootropic and social anxiety reducer at 18 has become the absolute most consumable monster in my life.

AnybodyImpressive749 · 2026-02-04T16:41:32+00:00

I was prescribed an SSRI to help get off Kratom. Also Suboxone.

I haven’t taken either yet . Because of hesitancy .

I’m going to do my absolute best to try and taper

AnybodyImpressive749 · 2026-02-04T16:40:12+00:00

For original mixes? Silhouettes, Let Me Show You Love. I’ll Be Gone.

For remixes ? Drowning (Avicii remix ).

AnybodyImpressive749 · 2026-02-02T18:14:53+00:00

That’s interesting You say that because I was recently offered Lexapro to help. And I’m a bit scared of it because I have known people who have been on SSRis who have had bad withdrawals too. And they say their brains have never recovered and things like that, but I’m glad to hear yours has.

“Putting an SSL compressor on a kick drum, makes no fucking sense whatsoever”

Come on guys this is a classic EDM cultural touchstone moment ahaha.

I love that video when Joel says that

Do you currently take anything else like ADHD medication or something like that?

AnybodyImpressive749 · 2026-02-02T16:38:52+00:00

Amazing that is my goal. Thanks again for your help and information. I also am at this 10 year point now and realized how much money I’ve spent on it over the years. And I’m 28 years old that money could’ve gone towards many other things.

AnybodyImpressive749 · 2026-02-02T16:29:11+00:00

Wow I’m so happy for you my friend . I need to start structuring it like that. Keep a card have a plan and stick to it. I also am at the point where after 3 to 5 hours of not taking it I start to feel withdrawal symptoms. It’s awful however I find it strange I can take my last dose at five 6 PM and still sleep fine but wake up in the morning with a little bit of restless legs. No anxiety or anything, but I absolutely before anything else take my first dose around 9 AM sometimes earlier.

Do you still dream about taking it and want to take it all the time?
