FOR THE MOTHERLAND



The US Government sent a food spy (Alexander Graham Bell's son in law) to Germany to steal their hops in 1901

this is a real problem. i go to the 7-11 down the street and i can choose between pbr, bud, or 16 different ipas. i dont always want a 8% abv maximum HOPS OVERLOAD. but they stock what sells, so nothing to do about it. thanks ipa bros

this is the real reason there's all the IPA butt hurt, it's not that it's bad but it's like 80% of beers on tap when you go into a bar or when you're looking at 6 packs

I definitely don't mind an IPA now and then but it is kinda exhausting to see how much more focus they get over all other options, especially since I certainly don't like them all the time.

It's nice to have a cheap beer or two that you still enjoy as a good fallback sometimes. :beerpal:

harmless schadenfreude. my wife has a guilty pleasure-- the taiwanese coldplay, aka. mayday.



so, when mayday's website announced a show at a 300 person roadhouse* in rural western pa (where my parents live) she got all excited and was already googling flights until i pointed out that:

a) mayday, who regularly sells out massive arenas in taiwan and mainland china, is probably not playing a single show in pennsylvania on their world tour
b) outside of the pittsburgh city limits, western pa has very few taiwanese speakers, certainly not enough in the 18-45 demographic to make a tour stop viable
c) mayday is definitely not huge in the greater slippery rock area.

*the venue in question:





she ended up writing the bassist on line and was told almost immediately via his social media team that this is definitely a case of their website being broken and scraping the wrong listings.

I had this exact scenario actually happen! Earlier this year I was photographing a tour for a kpop group of young girls (a few underage) and they ended up playing an actual biker bar near Tampa. I'm talking leather vest old dudes at the bar pounding beers the whole show wondering what the gently caress is going on in front of them while ~150 kids go wild. It was surreal.

This is incredible. How did the band feel about it? Is that photo of them at that show? Did they bring all those lights? I have so many questions. They could have turned that night into a documentary.

It was their last night of tour and in the US after a pretty grueling month, so they were pretty bonked and just trying to make it through the night. Didn't help that it was over 100 degrees and the place had no AC. Kids passed out before the show even started. They still put on a great performance though. That's all their lighting yeah, venue had nothing. Was a tough shoot but also a lot of fun and again, totally surreal experience. Few more pics from that night

I was recovering from anesthesia and saw that one of my friends had posted a snapchat of her new haircut. Thinking that I feel fine and in control of my faculties I commented something along the lines of "hey, cute bngas". Then after I sent that I realized that I had spelled bangs wrong so to fix it I meant to say that I just came out of anesthesia and I'm a little loopy but what I actually sent was "Cute bangs, I just came"

They were very cute bangs I guess

Nah, I've done quite a bit of travelling abroad and the variety of craft beer I have to choose from overseas is significantly less than what I can find here in Seattle.
