Just ordered an N/A beer from a can in a nice restaurant in a strip mall. $10??? Is this normal?

Worth the 4-year wait. #stout #beer

Some sour brown ale from Free Will Brewing circa 2016. Will it be gross? Maybe it Will.

I can't believe I'm on the 22nd book of this series. I am decidedly NOT a series guy. But I'll read these when they are at their best and worst. #pendergast #limcolnandchild #booksky

The Last Dinner Party's "Prelude to Ecstasy" is luscious, theatrical, and drips with vivid lyrics. As I catch up on the year's "best of" lists, I'm grateful to have found this album. Favorite track: "Caesar on a TV Screen."

Can't help but continue to post beer shots occasionally. Here's an Everyman Porter from Little Red Barn in Winsted, Conn., USA. #beersnob

Happy 30th Anniversary to Nick Lowe's "The Impossible Bird." Laid back, often mournful country from the British pub rock veteran. Lowe was 45 upon release but brings a gravity that adds two decades. A mix of originals and covers, "The Impossible Bird" is a love letter to the lonesome.
