New Day
New thoughts … The business closed, so all the talk will die quickly, but the recaps from people … it’s crazy. Reading things from people that never went there, kind of proves the point of what ‘woke mob’ means. I’m really sad to see LGBTQ+ folks hating on LGBTQ+ folks who have lost their job….

It won’t be just Johnny Storm.
It’s not just the boil kettle I’ll flame. Things I think are stupid for sure will get a shout out. Any pandering promotion, I’ll make fun of that for sure. I’m a home brewer, I want good beer, not dumb marketing gimmicks. I’m going to have to pick a name for the awards … I’ll…
