Places To Internet That Are Not Beer Twitter

Welcome. Good to see you.

In case you wanted to leave Beer Twitter, I pulled together other options to internet with other beer people.

They may be obvious to you. That’s fine. Just reminding you of these things is all then:

• Untappd - no better place to rant about beer life online than a beer-drinking app.

• Reddit - there is Beer or Craft Beer, to get you started.

• Facebook groups - there are seemingly endless beer groups on Facebook.

• Blog post comments - remember these? I miss checking back on blog posts to see if someone left a new comment. Beervana still has a little bit of this and it’s adorable now. I still hold out hope for mine.

• Discord - A sort of message board site for today’s world. A different version of a Facebook group. This is the one I go on.

• Message boards - speaking of, the old Beer Advocate is still running. As is Homebrew Talk.

• Instagram - Instagram has become tiresome to me. I still post (@mikeytoppour) because I feel I have to, but I wouldn’t mind if it went away too. Not a good replacement for Twitter either, IMO.

• Craft Beer TikTok - I feel the same about TikTok as I do Instagram.

• Beer YouTube - this is one I have spent a little more time on as my interest in other Internet things has faded. The closest thing to blog post comment threads today are YouTube comments.

• Your local taproom bar. If you sit at the bar instead of a table, you will pick up what the beer tenders are having to deal with. And what kind of things patrons (beer people) are talking about and ordering - a live “Twitter feed” happening in front of you.

See!! Look at all the live interacting I’m doing! 😂

The problem with all of it is there isn’t an apples-to-apples match for Twitter. I know there is Mastadon, but I may just want to leave the whole thing rather than start up somewhere new.

I am trying to have less social media in my life, not more.

If Twitter implodes (I don’t think it will, it’s more likely it’ll become kinda lame) I won’t need to replace it, it’ll just leave me more time for relaxing drinking.

Things To Beer With and Giving Thanks

I started watching “1883” in preparation for the coming series “1923”, a Paramount+ show with my boy, Harrison Ford. Both are pre-quels to “Yellowstone”.

A couple of episodes in on “1883”and I would recommend it - good western and pioneering stuff.

I had some Heretic Brewing “So Much Mo” IPAs while watching and they paired nicely.

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving to those that celebrate. It’s the perfect mix-pack holiday.

You can’t go wrong with one from Sierra. If you have a local Craft option that packages, that works too. Don’t forget to hide your good ones though (bottom of the ice-chest) - cousin Tommy doesn’t deserve your $24 four-pack IPAs.

Thanks for the read. Hope you have a great week and Thanksgiving! See you on the Beer Internets! ⌨️💻
