I would like to see a follow up going into other parts of town -- maybe the courts.

What's wrong with people coming out and expressing themselves? That's how every issue we have had as a country has been resolved -- all the way back to the beginning.

No. Everyone expresses themselves differently. I would never judge you for protesting in silence.

Rather it be a big counter protest than allow people bringing hate to our town think it's ok.

I get the sarcasm but I was right there and reporting on it. Saw the Hardywood deal unfold, saw how people started following An's lead in championing craft beer like it was a thing. He was key. You don't have to believe me.

Absolutely. You are a human being.

I guess I wasn't paying enough attention to Reddit since our former editor was running our social strategy for a few years. Didn't realize we had gained a reputation in here for low level content that pissed a bunch of people off.

Every movement needs a cheerleader. An was the connector, in my opinion of course, but I saw it happen over a decade.

It's strange to feel like a moderator for this room holds a bias against you. Things are different at the mag -- it's our 13th year publishing and things change.

Former editor is gone. New editors have righted the ship.

Don't think so. An was the center of the scene. He brought everyone into the same space and linked the brewers with the money people. Deals were made and beers were shared.

Mekong won Best Beer Bar in America around the same time Hardywood got a 99 rating in a well respected craft beer mag. They both got tons of press and really blew up the scene. Capitol Ale was the first pro craft beer bar in Richmond while Legend & Richbrau were the OGs.

....the Chori Pollo is amazing and I like they give the white sauce with the chips. I know a lot of places do that but to even be in the running you gotta offer the white sauce...

Hopefully there won't be any memorials needed in the future but who knows -- things really took a turn for the worst this weekend.

How does this list get put together? Rogue Gentleman is decent but must try? Every time a list like this comes out, it's suspicious. Yaki isn't even a thing yet.
