Iβm probably still paying off my daylight debt from going to Australia last June when the sun was setting at 5pm!
Daylight debt is when you go to a northern polar latitude during the winter and donβt offset it with a trip to the Southern Hemisphere.
Your recent posts inspired me to book a trip to Bucharest!
Itβs about five degrees too cold and a bit windy. I bet theyβll have them open tomorrow!
Think Iβll spend the afternoon here
Obligatory Hammβs at Rossiβs photo.
I have many! The Kings Arms and Bethnal Green Tavern in Bethnal Green, The Southampton Arms in Kentish Town, The Rake by Borough Market, The Hand & Marigold in Bermondsey, and The Harp in Covent Garden.
Delayed flight and tonight Iβm grateful for breweries that stay open past midnight.
Oof. Not one thatβs not terribly out of date. But definitely recommend Kernel, Anspach & Hobday, Pretty Decent, 40FT, and Queer Brewing.

A $17 16-ounce IPA at Newark Airport. A reminder that the Port Authority claims to enforce a street pricing policy at their airports. Theyβre lying.
I both started and ended my visit to Sheffield here.
Some thoughts on this week's BrewDog news, recognition for the city's most-tenured brewmaster, and more in this week's edition of the newsletter.
Thankfully no!
I've lost count of how many times I've come across a news article about a brewery closing and I react to the accompanying exterior photo the same way: that brewery was totally overbuilt for a spot I've never heard of.
Oh, I was writing about beer long before that, just not in a newsletter. Sometime I'll dig up my first beer blog post from 2008!
It's been five years since I started writing a weekly newsletter about beer. This week, a look back at some of the highlights.
The G was split. The glass was dirty.
New York City Beer Week is underway and tomorrow is the city's biggest beer event of the year!
Went to the place everybody told me to go. Everybody was right.
I have a structured settlement and I need beer now.
Call Moniker Brewery, 877-HOPS-NOW.
The Irish Exit in Moynihan Hall is an underrated bar. Serviceable beer list, fairly reasonable prices, and a great place to watch the world go by.
This weekβs newsletter previews a new venue for the cityβs biggest beer event of the year and features a brewery in Paris with a drinking barge.
*whispers* and it's a better festival
The nearest light rail stop to this year's GABF is 1.3 miles away. The nearest bus stop serving downtown is 1.2 miles away. This is utter madness unless they're going to run shuttles from downtown (something I highly doubt).
Once again going to have to beat the drum: it is irresponsible to have a large beer festival in a venue that is not transit-accessible.
Probably one of the most authentic spots for cask beer in the US.
come drink some beer, eat some sweets, and rock out with the only all-baseball-writer band on the MTA's Most Wanted List, the Subway Ghosts!
After spending eight hours on a plane where a child screamed bloody murder for half the flight, the last thing I want to do is drink at a brewery being visited by two drunk parents and a screaming toddler.
