Last week, Vinepair posted a story about <a href=\"https:\/\/vinepair.com\/articles\/breweries-to-watch-2025\/\">20 Breweries to Watch in 2025,<\/a> and I suggested Wood Foot. When Evan Rail asked me to contribute, I gave him a few choices and I mentioned I planned to visit here. I didn&#8217;t know it would turn out to be only a few days after the story posted.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, excellent band and beer. I don&#8217;t know how to rate pickleball courts, but I like the mural.<\/p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;m off to to view the Gulf of Mexico from more angles, leaving behind a few links (and, for the most part, only the links).<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/boakandbailey.com\/2025\/03\/rounding-up-contributions-to-the-session-144-beers-at-home\/\">The Session #144 recap<\/a> (Another excellent turnout)<br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/vinepair.com\/booze-news\/new-scientific-study-shows-that-rats-can-effectively-blind-taste-wine\/\">New Scientific Study Shows that Rats Can Effectively Blind Taste Wine<\/a> (My favorite headline of the year to date)<br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pelliclemag.com\/home\/2025\/2\/24\/i-wont-run-far-saying-farewell-to-massachusetts-cambridge-brewing-company\">Saying Farewell to Massachusetts\u2019 Cambridge Brewing Company<\/a><br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rogerbaylor.com\/2025\/02\/27\/im-set-to-write-a-book-about-beer-or-so-this-impending-contract-suggests\/\">I\u2019m set to write a book about beer, or so this impending contract suggests<\/a> (Buckle up)<br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/tempestinatankard.com\/2025\/02\/24\/the-joys-of-european-beer-travel\/\">The Joys of European Beer Travel<\/a><br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/beercrunchers.substack.com\/p\/all-in-on-small\">Small<\/a><br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molsoncoorsblog.com\/coors-banquet-lda-gen-z-2025\">How a 150-year-old brand became the fastest growing beer for legal drinking-age Gen-Z<\/a> (I have no words)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The photo above was taken at Wood Foot Brewing in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.
