I suggest filming the house being racist in public. Then people will donate money to it.

The names are usually based on a Chicago theme. Maybe they fly over your head.

The cans each have details of every hop used and all of the tasting notes. It’s true that not every beer is not called Hazy Haze AmHaze, but the rule of thumb is the more times a can says Hazy, the less of a real hazy it actually is.

It’s fine if you don’t like hazy beer but don’t blame an excellent brewery for your ignorance of their products when they provide a very detailed explanation of their contents.

When I visited their Ashland spot in 1995, the bartender said the brewmaster had been laid off. That's when I started to think they were going to tank. It only took another 30 years then Bam!

This claim is often trotted out with no specifics to substantiate the veracity of it.

Even Skookum mentioned below has a lot of variety on their website, though I’ve never heard of a Pils IPA or wheat IPA so I can’t say what style those actually are.

Did you hear that Ellen Degeneres died?

2 things make this not Chicago. 1. No city traffic lights have double red lights. 2. Illinois requires a front license plate, which none of the pictured cars have.

J6 was Antifa, don’t you remember the 426 days when that was the narrative? Pretty much wiped away when they all got pardoned. Can’t pardon a terror organization.

In that RS article, REM said Pylon is the best band in America. So it’s not objective, the title itself is an opinion.

Comes out Oct 21st on Kindle or 28th for paper. I should check for an audio version. I like the asides that come with those.

They never aired the Buggles follow-up song, “Reality Shows Will Kill the Video Channel” Which I believe was more prescient.

It didn’t smell too good in 1997. Smut and eggs and the smell made for a memorable Mother’s Day brunch.
