Happy New Year. It seems, since last compiling links Dec. 18, that I missed many year-end wrap ups and predictions for 2024. Alan McLeod generously catalogued many of them<\/a>. I thank him for making it easy to move forward with only a quick look at two posts related to looking backward and looking forward before going forward:<\/p>\n

– If you didn\u2019t share a recap video, did 2023 even happen?<\/a>
\n– A New Year\u2019s resolution for 2024: never tweet<\/a>
\nI look at X once most days, which means I only see a sliver of what I might. Plenty of interesting people are still there, and I wish they’d move to Bluesky. I occasionally will retweet something to be polite, but I’m doing my best not to post. It is always tempting. A little experiment Dec. 20, when the National Hop Report came out, served as a reminder: I posted to Twitter, to Bluesky and to Facebook. Twitter easily drove the most traffic. <\/p>\n

Two essential reads this week<\/strong>
\n– The Philosophy of the Farmer Brewers<\/a>
\nBecause these brewers only use ingredients sourced from their farm. “It is a volatile practice that leads to conflict, improvisation, and frustration in equal measure.” <\/p>\n

– Anon, A Giant Monster Roams \u2014 Torrside Brewery in New Mills, Derbyshire<\/a>
\nYes, Alan McLeod and Boak & Bailey already pointed to this story, but I didn’t want you to miss this thought: \u201cThey still feel unique within the industry\u2014a more playful side of brewing that is becoming increasingly rare.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The, wow, ‘How did this happen?’ story of the week<\/strong>
\n– The Sad Spiral of Rockmill Brewery: How the Craft Beer Darling Ended up in Foreclosure<\/a><\/p>\n

These ideas would seem to be related<\/strong>
\n– Reasons to Skip Dry January<\/a>
\n– In 2024, How About “Pub January?”<\/a>
\nAs appealing as these “Pubs in AI”<\/a> look, Pub January requires visiting physical pubs.<\/p>\n

By the numbers<\/strong>
\n– Boak & Bailey share their Bristol spreadsheet.<\/a>
\n– One Year and 389 Breweries Later.<\/a><\/p>\n

I only read the headline<\/strong>
\n(I didn’t inhale)<\/em>
