Follow Sean Inman to the best in craft beer
Men do not usually stroll down the skincare aisle at the drugstore. But if there were hop based products, I just might. And that is where Harper’s Hops come into the frame. They have cleansers, serums and moisturizing lotions to make your skin feel and look better. Now if they just had a Citra sunscreen.
I rarely recommend Instagram accounts on this blog. I am more of a book or website person myself but after reading an excellent article on beer mats (coasters for Yanks) on the Pellicle website (which you should read and support), I followed Beer Stained Pulp.
Then have an actual fun time scrolling through the pictures. There is not a lot of new posts so you can check it every few months after for a quick catch-up.
If you are looking for a perfect pint of Guinness and you are in England and or Ireland then the new Stoutly app is for you. The app was developed by Scott Montford as a “free-to-use “social network for Guinness drinkers”, offered guidance on where the closest quality pint might be found anywhere in the world.”
When I typed in Tullamore in the center of Ireland, it came up with a handy list of pubs. So when you next travel to the land of pubs, and you get a Guinness hankering, you know where to go, on your phone, at least.
You could make an argument that the above beer bottle could have a very niche use at beach bars. You could also say that the hurdles in getting these bottles filled could be overcome. But there is really only one thing that is going to happen with these and if you have listened to Armchair Expert Anonymous, then you know where.
So how about we stick to getting incrementally better with using recycled materials in packaging instead.
When I remember, I try to post about the latest Duvel Art Stemware because I think it is cool that they have a connection to the world of art and back it up by displaying it on a glass. This year the art is by Lectrr. Not the silence of the lambs one, of course. You can check out past glasses HERE.
I subscribe to the notion that golf is a good walk spoiled but I do think that the latest collaboration between Guinness and the Travis Matthew brand is a darn cool looking shoe…
I think there needs to be a moratorium on new glassware. There needs to be a blue ribbon panel created to pass judgement on all the glassware “innovations” so that we do not descend into a Paradox of Choice hell.
I will save that judiciary body some time by passing sentence on the Grippy Glass. It will not be allowed. No appeals.
First, imagine a world where you could’t see. Now try to navigate a cooler of craft beer. Thankfully, there is now technology that will allow beer labels to be imprinted with Braille so the vision impaired can also see how many IPAs there are on shelves too.
You can read about three teams that were part of the project with s big shout out to the Johns Hopkins students who made the machine, right HERE.
I do not have the patience to put together a Lego Millennium Falcon let alone something tiny, but I would give this Lego Krug a try…
…though 189 pieces is daunting to me. I also like that it is for 18 years and up. As if someone younger would start drinking after putting this together.
Very Needed! See, I do like some beer toys.
In a previous post, I gave you the direction to follow the Beery Godmother on Instagram. Primarily for her Beer Fact Fridays.
As a reminder and because there is a multi-part topic being covered that should get more attention, I am back again with the push to follow her.
The topic is line cleaning and it is an important procedure especially if your taproom or bar is pouring multiple styles.
So head HERE to watch and learn.
