What the fuck? I believe this is an adequate statement to start a recipe after months of silence. It seems a lot is happening in California that made craft beer take a back seat. Marxists, fascists, and fires are but a few reasons, but the most important reason of all is that bakers are struggling…
Take a Sip of Beer Now take a deep breath. Ignore the fascists on the right who project Nationalism while slowly picking away a ta fund for the people (can you say socialism for the 1% disguised as Nationalism?). Take a sip of beer. Why is there no modern counter-culture? I feel like listening to…
