One thing I can say about brewing is that I'm always the dirtiest person on the train

American brewer in Amsterdam. Also pretending to be a bartender. This is a dry bean and wet beer account Hollowsbeer.com
Bus ride shift beer today is glorious, thanks to a friend in from California
Pleasantly surprised that the mushroom beer is my most popular at Borefts this weekend. Also, what a location for a fest!
Just got a press release for a new bar that “pays homage to the glory days of NYC nightlife” and listen, I’m sure this bar is perfectly nice, but I’m losing my goddamn mind. I’m sick of remakes! I’m sick of homages! Stop building monuments to beauty instead of trying to build beauty itself!!!!
Train ride shift beer. Just finished a 35 hour marathon double-double mash stout brew day but unfortunately Leslie is out of town so Poppy had to just hang out in the brewery office for 35 hours
Nobody will want to hear this but the Spoon's in Oban has the best beer selection and only cask beer I've come across so far. Can't say I love the pub though, which has the feel of a nice American rest stop. Still, a few good and crazy cheap beers on cask and a view of the harbor so I can't complain
Jason@thehollows.bsky.social · 3w agoThe 1st time I visited Scotland (Edinburgh, Inverness) I was completely unprepared for how great the beer was so I had high expectations this time (Highlands) but have barely seen anything but macro shit. Don't cry too much for me though - I've found the local drink.

Train ride shift beer. Made a couple festival kegs of a new beer - Drunkship of Lanterns - and had a little bit left over that I didn't want to waste. Imperial stout with candy cap mushrooms, coffee, smoked salt, vanilla beans.
Classic train ride shift beer, Mahrs Ungespundet. Spent the whole shift with my back spasming and trying to rip itself in half so very glad we closed quick enough to catch the last train.
Did you guys know that a widely used transportation technology is encouraging Americans to prioritize speed and convenience over physical activity, with grave consequences for public health? It's called an e-scooter and it's time to finally do something about it.
Made some good Pad Thai, maybe the best I've ever made even though I was out of dried shrimp. I made a little shrimp stock for it though.
With everything going on it seemed appropriate to go catch a Canadian band. Angine De Poitrine at Doornroosje in Nijmegen!
Train ride shift beer, maybe my favorite dunkel, Ayinger unfiltered Altbairisch Dunkel. Yes, the lip broke and yes I'm drinking out of the bottle anyway. Don't try this at home.
In Mechelen to pour at a festival so grabbed a quick drink across the street from our hotel before heading over to the fest
Train ride shift beer. Fortunately that was a pretty chill cellar shift because that was pretty much the most tired I've ever been in my life.
Jason@thehollows.bsky.social · last mo.Train station shift beer. I think that was shift #14 in the last 9 days. Just 3 more days and then there's a day off

Hour 5 of this reiterated mash lauter. Kind of annoying, but also kind of impressive you can even filter 37° wort without a mash press
Been making a lot of variations of this potato salad. Roasted potatoes, roasted chicken thigh or mushrooms, raw cabbage, tomatoes, sometimes celery, roasted zucchini, etc., juice of 3-4 limes, lots of fish sauce, a bit of garlic, lots of chilies, a little mayo. Great warm but better cold
Train ride shift beer. Heading back to Amsterdam after hanging in Rotterdam planning collabs with Bereta and Pulfer
The purpose of American zoning is to put the most people—low- and middle-class families—in the worst locations so that the best locations, the quiet, elevated side streets, can be reserved for a small number of wealthier people. Everything else is just kind of window dressing.
Train ride shift beer after my 5th shift in the last 3 days and I gotta be back at the brewery in less than 8 hours 🫠 I've been meaning to try this one for a few days but kept going back to the Kellerbier. This is a great Märzen but I'll be returning to the Kellerbier next time. Brewery to seek out
Jason@thehollows.bsky.social · 2mo agoBus ride shift beer. Really incredible kellerbier from Roppelt, who were unknown to me until now
When you want to market your beverage marketing business but your ai slop "telling the story of bourbon" example shows wheat kernels instead of any of the grains it mentions. Built on integrity, quality, and passion!
Waiting for the bus shift beer. I should be home but some asshole was on the tracks and it somehow took over 45 minutes to gently persuade them to go elsewhere so I missed my connection. Pretty shitty after a double today and I need to be back at the brewery in 8 hours. Good beer though
Haha, this loser can't find friends willing to take him to breweries
Kang@kang.bsky.social · 2mo agoWhy don’t you say it on a site he’s on so you’re not doing this sad little ‘brrrr let’s be cool guys on our little pirate ship that looks like a microbrew meet up?’ Why do this bitchmade little ‘teehee the bad man said bad words?’

"You have to in good faith at least concede that xyz..." No I don't. Fuck you. I'm not fucking stupid. I know you're doing a little debate club trick. Suck my dick.
Luke O'Neil@lukeoneil47.bsky.social · 2mo agoThis is true yes and also we know from experience if you give a single inch to any issue the radical center are crying about they will take it. So if we're annoying about it it's because fuck you that's why.
