Standard issue optimistic skeptic. That's me with Kermit Ruffins in the tiny circle, a signal I may post about roots music even though people associate me with beer (appellationbeer.com), and specifically with hops (hopqueries.com/subscribe).

Good morning. Tomorrow City-State is pouring their own beer, brewed at Red Bear. Here's how a brewery became a taproom with a beer brand.

A THC drink before a colonoscopy could change the way we think about colonoscopies.
I can’t bring myself to try another THC beverage. I haven’t tasted one for several years, it the taste was so foul that I don’t want to repeat. It tasted like the stuff we drink for colonoscopies.
And if you’ve tasted that, you know why I don’t want another THC drink.
But maybe they’ve improved.

I understand the appeal and importance of a volume account for large craft breweries. I really do. But Costco is not where you want to try to sell your fresh hop hazy IPA. It's late in the day on October 20th and I'm seeing cases upon cases of a Seattle brand sitting warm on shelves.

Cool stuff.
I found a historic analysis of Bamberg beers from January 1843 (very early to find data about alcohol content and residual extract), and used it to reconstruct the original gravities of historic Bamberg Schenkbiere. The results were very surprising!
