Drinking With Blankets

Joe Stange @Thirsty_Pilgrim

Hey, Beer Twitter! On the lookout for any creative ideas meant to keep folks coming out amid colder weather and pandemic concerns. Firepits, branded/BYO blankets, hot chili nights... Whatcha got?

Of all the suggestions in Joe’s thread, the best was Japanese heated blanket tables called, Kotatsu:

Oh man, how cool (errr HOT) of a beer garden would THAT be!?

This Week’s Music To Drink & Think To

I never paid much attention to Sonic Youth during their “hay days” but have recently gotten into them. Thurston Moore, from Sonic Youth, has a new solo album out called “By The Fire”.

It’s a good album for light afternoon drinking AND three beers in and starting to “feel it” drinking. Large spans of experimental atmospheric stuff mixed with Alt 90s grooves.

Wait! What!? That’s It?!

Like most of us this week, my free time was taken up by board watching. Sadly not Untappd or brewery board watching, but election board watching.

Steve Kornacki is now legend:

Jacob Rubashkin @JacobRubashkin

"Hey Kasie, I have to stop you. Steve Kornacki has a piece of paper in his mouth." #tbt

So yeah, I didn’t gather enough stuff for a solid D&T.

Cheers to next week when things will be quieter (I hope) and we have more time to drink, gather and think.

Maybe I’ll see you on my Untappd feed this weekend.

Thank you for reading and sharing!
Be safe!
