Hey everyone. Lots of silence here as I am on book deadline, but... I just witnessed two men stood a few metres apart at the bar drink their pints in silence then, as one left the other said "We should grab a beer sometime" and the other said "yeah man let me know" and walked out the door.

Matthew Curtis@totalcurtis.bsky.social · 7mo agoThere is something about holding several months of hard work in your hands, as a physical thing, that is quite powerful. So excited to have done book four, I hope you all really enjoy it and use the hell out of it. Long live print media.
Being absolutely flayed in the comments for suggesting that as a mass produced/filtered/pasteurised product with perhaps the best tech infrastructure in the beer world.... most pubs serve similar quality Guinness. Am I mad, or is Youtube? youtu.be/n57HRHAxcwc
