Mule-ing Beer Is A Heroic Act

A Beer Can Get You Through Things

That picture is from @hopdoodle’s feed, it depicts two dedicated mates somewhere in England and it goes to show you can sit through anything if you have a good pint in your hand.

I wanted to figure out where exactly they are and I believe they are in the River Aire going through Leeds, England, having a soaked pint at the Kirkstall Bridge Inn. The UK knows how to party.

Cheers To All The Beer Mules Out There

Siri show me a photo of $2,500.

This is not Josh’s Treehouse haul (sadly for him)

Josh Noel @hopnotes

Thanks from Cousin Mark, a 1% Treehouse fan. Says he’s splitting that haul with 10-15 people.

I wish I was one of those 10 to 15 people. I’m off to find my own Cousin Mark.

I Have A Thing For Beer Boards

Rhinelander Beer Board Sign

I don’t know anything about Rhinelander brewery but I want that sign board!! It is simply perfect.

Especially if you’re a home-brewer like the owner, John Harry, you can put your own beers on it:

John is so lucky to get that. I searched all of eBay and found nothing like it.

If you see something similar out there, let me know. I would love to have something like it up in my garage.

BTW, John is the historian for Point Brewery, the second oldest brewery in Wisconsin. Sounds like a pretty cool thing to be.

Beer Twitter Thread Of The Week

Clem Cowton @ClemCowton

On the train to Glasgow for #COP26 and gratified to see the man opposite has come equipped with his own beer tap

Lots of great replies to this. It is the London area so don’t get excited, Americans. All I know is, more people in the States would be into taking trains places if they were allowed to bring one of these on.

At least over there, you can buy one of these and take it with you places. The device is called a Pinter and can be gawked at here.

Yeah and it’s no big occasion, apparently it’s just a dude relaxing with a mate:

Clem Cowton @ClemCowton

@heatpolicyrich @ScotRail Yep! I didn’t get the impression it was a stunt, they were just having quiet conversations about (I assume 🤷‍♀️) football.

Forever “Cheers!” to this man.

Beer Price Bump Alert!

Beer Cruncher 📈📢 @beercruncher

A lot of brewers got phone calls this week about their barley prices going 📈 💥 Sounds like more aluminum increases on the way as well 📈⚡️ Look for *more* beer prices on the move here soon enough, out of necessity not greed.

Music To Drink With

I have been really enjoying the new Dinosaur JR live album, “Emptiness At The Sinclair”- always been a very underrated band.

And there is also a new Mastodon album, “Hushed and Grim”.

I am only starting to sift through it but, so far so metal.

Have a Good One

No matter what your conditions this weekend, you can get through it with a good beer by your side.

Thank you for read! Check the blog for related posts. Stay safe out there and enjoy your beers!
