I'm a #bisexual :v_bi: #ambiamorous :v_amam: boy who lives in Katowice, Poland - I also am a CompSci graduate who has been working in IT for the past 5 years 😊
My main obsessions are #goth and #vaporwave#music. I also enjoy #anime & video #games (as many people do :blobfox3c:) and I'm learning to play the #bass guitar. Among my other interests are #retro computing, #tarot, craft #beer, #archaeology, and #astronomy. I love chatting about all of my interests - do not hesitate to DM me if you wanna talk about any of them 💗
I also have 2 beautiful #cats :)
I love going on nerd rants about various micro-interests of mine, posting dumb memes, and also being very gay on main, you have been warned :blobcatevil: :Fire_Bisexual: I occasionally boost CW'd NSFW posts. 🔞
I've absolutely fallen in love with Fedi - I'm very happy that I found this lovely instance and was able to settle in here with all the wonderful people :blobCatComfySoff:
See you around 🥰
I created the magazine DMV Beer over on dmv.pub for beer news and events. So if you're in the DMV area, check it out and post stuff! I'll do more over the weekend... as I'll be headed to work in about an hour and a half.
I see a couple of Ottawa hits among the 2024 World Beer Cup winners:
Tooth & Nail Brewing has a saison-style beer called "Valor" that picked up a gold for that category.
Also local Flora Hall Brewing picked up a silver for their "English Ordinary Bitter." Notable in a contest with global participation.
I'm a fan of both of those styles, so hope to try them over the course of the summer if they keep making them. I frequent T&N but have yet to try Flora Hall's wares.
This wall of historical craft beer from a southern Oregon museum was captivating. Especially their designs, which felt unfamiliar. And the names. Beer names are weird.
My father-in-law and I were drinking the same beer and almost got them mixed up. A couple of weeks ago, a friend and I mixed our beers up and created an awkward situation…
So, obviously a 3D printer is the solution! I present: the beer bottle charm print.
Prints in <5 mins so you can print one in every filament you have. Tested on a handful of bottles, but I'd love to hear your feedback.
In #Germany there's something called wegbier —a "#beer for the way". Unfortunately, for some people this concept does not include throwing the empty bottles into a trash bin. I'm sick of seeing the U-bahn littered like this every time the #Bayern plays in #Munich 🤬
EDIT: to everyone replying that trashing public spaces is a good thing because someone will clean after you and get a few cents when returning these bottles — check your privileges.
The explosion of options in the non-alcoholic/zero beer market is so awesome, even for a beer lover like me that still drinks full test. This wasn’t even half the available options at my local store. With so many of these tasting as good as regular beer at this point it is my default option. New brands, flavors, etc are times I’ll reach for a regular beer first but then often switch to the zero beers, absolutely not O’Doul’s though, after. #food#beer#NABeer#ZeroBeer
Brought my dad out of his assisted living facility for a #beer and to watch some #NFL. He’s essentially the only one in the facility that gets out to the bar, which is the place he feels most ”normal.” He was on #hospice two years ago so we said fuck it and started bringing him out here, and well, we’re still going. He’s a mini celebrity here, especially among the bartenders and regulars.
Hi internet, it's me. I'm a 29 year old masculine gay dude working from home as a customer support phone agent. I like cats, I drink way too much tea (or some days, coffee) and generally like weird things. Don't be afraid, say hi! 😃
In Charlie Papazian's The Complete Joy of Home Brewing, he describes an Irish beer style, "Foreign (Export) Stout," with an ABV range of 5.7 to 9.3%. I'm used to seeing regular dry stouts (3.5 to 5% ABV) and imperial stouts (9 to 12% ABV) but not much in between. Are there any commercially-brewed "Foreign (Export) Stout"-style beers that are available in the western part of the USA? I'd like to try one and see if this might be the next style of beer I brew.
