Yo. Welcome back? to another Drinking & Thinking. I appreciate the read.

Live on @SkyNews today chatting about @BrewDog now being carbon negative. More details on our plans are here: bit.ly/2YtAokl #brewdogtomorrow

They are also getting into a back-and-forth with Aldi Grocery:

James Watt @BrewDogJames

ICYMI: 1) @AldiUK made a fake @BrewDog PUNK IPA🤘 2) BrewDog joked we would make a fake ALDI beer 🍻 3) People loved it 😍 4) ALDI got in touch to list the fake ALDI beer 🤝 5) BrewDog & ALDI agreed for every case sold they would each plant one extra tree in the BrewDog Forest 🌳

…and their Punk IPA is doing well across the Globe:

Greg Avola @gregavola

.@BrewDog Punk IPA has been globally trending a lot lately on @untappd. It was top checked in beer in July and most likely Aug. In taking a deeper dive, since May 2020, it’s seen an average of 12% increase month over month in unique users checking in this beer. #untappdstats

Busy time for the dogs of brewing.

For Some Reason, It Makes Me Uncomfortable

I kinda don’t like looking at it but I appreciate the artful effort from @abrewtifulmess:

Speaking Of Label Art

The label that caught my eye the most this week comes from Off Color Brewing:

I do not know who does the art for Off Color but I always like it.

Do You Have A Beer Bubble?

England is a little better off than we are right now, concerning Corona Virus and being able to go to pubs and things. People can actually meet at bars. BUT you are supposed to be only meeting up with people in your “bubble” aka, the people you already live with. As we have learned from Boak & Bailey, not everyone is listening to the rules:

“We saw a lot of people in London who appreared to be out meeting friends or family. And anecdotally, we hear from bar staff who can see regulars (they know don’t live together) mixing, but don’t feel confident to do anything about it.”

We couldn’t even attempt this style in the States. You know damn well the bubbles would start breaking down quickly and there would be mixing happening after the second beer. And imagine the poor taproom staff having to try and enforce this.

Forget it and keep everyone away, or don’t have the rule.

Watch This With A Variety Pack

Every EVERY style of beer explained? This will take some time:

Did he talk about Browns and how they are barely around? No? I haven’t watched it yet but I plan to… for realz.

Do You Miss Festivals?

Anyaa @blackzag05

No one misses beer festivals right?

I have not QUITE gotten to the point of missing them, being a full introvert. But I can see that day coming soon. The Pandemic is making things feel so damn weird, I might start wearing pretzel necklaces on my grocery store trips (pretty much the only social thing I do these days).

At Least There Is Beer

This week was a struggle. Weeks are all a struggle these days, I suppose. Keep your head up though. There is always hope that that next beer will be the greatest thing you have ever tasted.

Comments, shares and subs are hella appreciated.

Thanks for reading. Thanks for the support. Stay safe.
