One link, one paragraph #4 Gulp!

The link, to a Facebook post from Mitch Steele.

The paragraph (not certain how much of the rest of the post is generally available):

After 9+ years at New Realm, I have moved to an advisory role with them, and so I’m now looking for other opportunities. This happened a couple of months ago, and I’ve kept it fairly quiet, while I was traveling for beer industry things, dealing with some family projects, and trying to sort out in my mind what I wanted to do.

As one person wrote in the comments: If there’s ever been a bellwether to the state of the crafts beer industry, it’s Mitch freaking Steele job hunting.

My kinda beer

Bottom of beer can -- packaged 12.01.25 with "Terroir Matters" message

Some words about the beer inside this can coming . . . eventually, but certainly not the next few weeks.

One link, one paragraph #3

The link.

The paragraph:

“Now Ye Three Lords, the place is a pub again. Entry is through a kind of foyer and, depending on your point of view, it has rather subdued lighting or is a bit gloomy. To the right is a long bar festooned by many taps dispensing London Brewing’s keg offerings and others. In the middle is a set of wickets with, on this visit, four cask beers on offer. On the left are sets of comfortable banquette type seating set to face each other, with some room dividers nicely breaking up the space. Walls are painted black, dark grey or dark blue. In the circumstances, it was hard to tell. Ceiling lights and bar lights are fabulous and look as though they cost a bob or two. The bar back sports spirits and is mirrored and looks good.”

One link, one paragraph #2

First up, the paragraph, because the link doesn’t go directly to the story.

“If you want to know whether your relationship is built to last, forget the pros-and-cons list, skip the astrology compatibility charts, and go straight for a bottle of saison.”

That’s the lead to “Saison as Relationship Barometer: Dating. Farmhouse ale. Saving yourself six months of disappointment.” A clever way to present a field guide to an elusive style. The story is only available in print in Final Gravity 10, and here’s a link to get it.
