Going down the cask ale rabbit hole yet one more time. 25 years of homebrewing, 20 years of BJCP beer judging. Been an immigrant my entire life. Often spotted in the Finger Lakes, Northern England, Belgium, and Cork.

Thanks for including the Goad map—that’s a very inefficiently set up brewery from the perspective of having to move ingredients and work in process around, but they were likely more worried about supplying steam power to mill.

For lagers, sure; for ales, hold the phone.

this story from today's Ask A Manager is killing me

2. The union

Wasn’t me but a guy I knew. He was a fan of certain “mind altering vegetation,” as was his coworker. He agreed to sell some to his coworker and soon became “the guy” at the auto repair place. One of the managers noticed him always having quick little chats with his coworkers and ran in the complete wrong direction with it and thought my friend was trying to organize a union and he (the manager) was going to stop that.

So my friend was terrified he was going to get fired until he realized that retaliating against him for selling pot was totally legal but retaliating against him for pro-union activity wasn’t. And so, to protect himself from being fired for being mistaken as a union organizer, he organized a union.

Thank you! Your antique shop find wound up having a lot of backstory. Are half pint tankard common? I’ve never run into one on the antique trail.

1812-17ish, Yorkshire mill owners had the striking Luddites shot at, executed, or sent to Australia. Corporate pushback to the 1894 Pullman strike was eerily similar. (Also— a lot of doctors on Bluesky eschew honorific titles.)

Looks like I'm heading to Manchester in August to confab over historical brewing and beer history over a few beers. sites.google.com/view/histori...
