That was fun. My DNS needed redirection. The fix was all pretty pain free. HostGator has now passed Gatoraid in my personal Gator rankings. Up to 8th place. So the blog lives on. I know. Hey! What's with all the boos and jeers. Hey, steady on. Give me a minute... OK, fine. Whatever. Here's the news.

Your Back From The Dark And Dragging Your Butt Back To School Week Traumatic Yet Fantastic Thursday Beery News Notes – A Good Beer Blog

Back-to-School Pfiff! ☕️ Inspired by a DePaul class studying “third spaces” -- places outside home & work where we gather and connect. Tomorrow, Ceramic Coffee pop-ups from 10am–2pm. Students: show your school ID for $2 off a coffee drink!

Recently, we got to meet a DePaul class studying “third spaces”-- the places outside of home and work where we gather, hang out, and connect with other people -- and they’re making Dovetail one of their field trips this semester!

Which feels like a pretty good excuse for a special Back-to-School edition of Pfiff! -- when we open the taproom early for coffee pop-ups, remote work, and a little of the Viennese coffeehouse culture that inspired it.

Tomorrow, our friends at Ceramic Coffee Roasters are taking over the coffee side of things from 10am–2pm. Regulars of the Pfiff!, Ceramic is a neighborhood roastery focused on making specialty coffee and coffee education more accessible and inclusive -- which feels pretty right at home in this special conversation we'll have tomorrow about third spaces, community, and the places where we learn from each other.

STUDENTS: Show your school ID and get $2 off a coffee drink from Ceramic. Offer good for this edition of Pfiff only!Bild

Hey Bluesky, I feel like this is a good place to ask: What's a good reference for folklore? Something not too arcane that will still take me beyond the obvious. (Asking specifically, this time, about mermaids and what happens when you kiss one. But feel like more questions will arise, so...)

Um 1900 galt Berlin als Bierhauptstadt Europas: Rund 100 Brauereien versorgten die rasant wachsende Industriemetropole mit Bier. Dabei wandelte sich die Brauwirtschaft grundlegend – von kleinen, handwerklichen Weißbierbrauereien zu riesigen, hochmodernen „Bierburgen“ der Gründerzeit.

We had the pleasure of Richard from Springbanks brewery to personally deliver a couple of their brand new award winning beers yesterday for us to pour in Bristol. With two of us being from the Midlands and one from Wolverhampton itself this is personally very exciting. Pouring soon 🍻👑 #bskybeer

Watching squirrels run along the utility poles and remembering this little pizza-loving squirrel-friend from the fall before last. Chicagoans prefer tavern style pizza, even the squirrels.

Was off to my niece for her birthday today. Cake, coffee, beer… But now I felt I needed to do a little quality control. Warm cider from the barn. A cider that took a long time to release, & I’m still unsure. But then I like its combo of slightly rustic notes with clear fruit.

I see @petebrownbeer.bsky.social has tackled the subject of the oldest pub in the UK. I really like the Aristotle reference and might even steal it as a penalty for using the term 'The British Isles'! Anyhow, I just also wanted to flag the work of @jpwarchaeology.bsky.social on the subject, plus ...

What is the UK’s oldest pub? It’s complicated

Many claim it’s Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem — but that’s not even the oldest boozer in Nottingham
