The now abandoned #Olympia Brewery standing unused (sad waste of a beautiful spot) in Tumwater, WA. It looks like a commercial version of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Falling Water house. I remember touring the place with my parents when I was a kid. It was a fully operational brewery then.
Mine’s a Dark - Weird Dad - 3.5% ABV. B++, finally a Mild in May and it’s a Corker. Malty, with a touch of fruity and very tingly on the tongue #ale#beer#bier
3.5/5. Finally a Mild in May and it’s awesome. Black Pudding Scotch Eggs on sale here and they are calling me. I wonder? #beersofmastodon@beersofmastodon
Blŵbri - Bragdy Twt Lol - 4.6% ABV. B+ and a bit, hoppy, fruity and a little malty sweetness. Gentle and refreshing. Works with the weather #ale#beer#bier
3.3/5. The Mamas and the Papas on the jukebox and Sky Sports on the TV. Twt lol on my palate and the sun is shining. Quality Beanoing. #beersofmastodon@beersofmastodon
Catch them while you can; ghost signs don't last forever.
Sadly, when John Connell headed out to photograph this multi-layered palimpsest in Wakefield, it was gone, lost to aggresive cleaning of the brick between 2016–23.
My guess is that this was an off licence, but maybe someone with local knowledge might remember?
👃🏻 Molasses, green herbs, caramel, licorice, dried red fruit. Heavy and complex mix.
👁️ Beautifully dark red, collapsing beige foam.
👅 Sweet. A touch boozy. Soft mouthfeel, low in carbonation. Lots of caramel, licorice, some aniseed.
Export - Rhymney Brewery - 5.0% ABV. B+ and a bit. Big and malty with a gentle bittersweet malty finish #ale#beer#bier
3.3/5. Already feeling good and really looking forward to #Lolffest15 at @bragdytwtlol not sure if beer fests work without inclement weather. #beersofmastodon@beersofmastodon
Just when you think that a man might be looking at a woman in these old Schlitz ads – but no. He only has eyes for beer and other men. #vintageAd#gay#beer
New Orleans stale beer signs volume II, Regal edition. (Regal was brewed by American Brewing Company on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter c 1891-1961)
Elizabeth's Restaurant, Bywater (old signage since restored)
During Prohibition, American Brewing Company officially made soft drinks and "near beer" (as no-alc was called at the time), but Federal raids showed they were also illegally producing real beer during some of that time.
