Well ok! I guess I’m gonna check out the Pascack Valley Line sometime.

Speaking of northern NJ microbrews, anyone been to (or thinking of checking out) Montclair Brewing in Lower Montclair? I just moved nearby but haven’t had time/inclination to visit yet.

From The Livermore Herald on January 19, 1901:

Frightful Death of Wendell Jordan

Scalded in a Vat of Boiling Malt. His Foot Evidently Slipped While Cleaning a Tank Above and He Fell to His Death.
One of the most terrible accidents that has ever occurred in Livermore, deprived the town on Thursday of one of its most respected citizens, Wendell Jordan.
Mr. Jordan was a brewer by occupation and had been accustomed always to give personal attention to the details of his business. Thursday forenoon he was engaged in brewing with his assistant, Carl Granitz, and had set the malt to cooking. While it was boiling Mr. Jordan started to clean out a small tank situated above and to one side of the vat. About this time Granitz stepped out of the room to get a drink of water. As he was returning he heard a stifled cry and splash and hastened in to find that his employer had fallen into the seething cauldron. Whether his foot slipped or whether he had an attack of vertigo will never be known.
Granitz rushed to the street and summoned assistance. He then, turned the faucet and drained off the boiling mass. While it was slowly flowing out, T. E. Knox, F. Thompson and others started in to rescue the body. This was done with much labor and inconvenience, Mr. Thompson scalding his hands severely in the work. When the unfortunate man was laid on the platform he gave a final gasp and expired.
The flesh was literally cooked and the features were so badly disfigured as to be unrecognizable. Although death was not instantaneous it is likely that the fatal plunge was not attended by any suffering as he must have become unconscious the moment he came in contact with the boiling malt as he evidently struck head first.
Although Mrs. Jordan was in her rooms in the second story of the building, she knew nothing of the awful affair until some time after the body was recovered. She was prostrated over the dread tidings as was her daughter, Miss Ada, when brought from school and told as gently as possibly that she had been so suddenly and awfully bereft of an idolized father.
Funeral services will be held at Masonic hall today (Saturday) at 3 PM under the auspices of Mosaic Lodge, No. 218, F. and A. M. The remains will be taken to San Francisco Sunday morning where they will be cremated at the Odd Fellows Crematory. A delegation of members of Mosaic Lodge will accompany the remains.
Mr. Jordan was an unusually public spirited citizen. He was one of the organizers of the Livermore Fire Department and was a foreman for over twenty years. He also served the town as a Trustee for several terms and was chairman of the Board for two years. He was as careful in administering the affairs of the town as he was in conducting his own business and retired to private life enjoying the confidence and esteem of the whole community.
Deceased was a member of the Masons, Odd Fellows and Hermann Sons.
Mr. Jordan was known as a very charitable man. He was never to resist an appeal for aid when the case was deserving and he was ever foremost in all contributions to public enterprises having for their object the betterment of the town, industrially or socially.
If is doubtful if a person ever died in Livermore who will be more universally regretted than Mr. Jordan. If he had an enemy in the community we never heard of it. The expressions on all sides indicate that the town has sustained a loss in the death of this worthy man which will never be replaced.

It's a shame they drained the wort, a live human sacrifice is the final frontier of adjuncts

“Snitch Blood” and “Where You From” were set to be the brewery’s two newest releases, and if you’re up on your American gang signifiers, you recognize that Mirage was planning to release a pair of Crips and Bloods beers, complete with rival bandanna designs.

you guys, I tried the GABF silver winner for Juicy/Hazy IPA from Kros Strain in Nebraska. The beer in very 2019 beer naming is DDH Fairy Nectar London but I don't know what dark arts they used to get so god drat much aroma out of this beer. Unlike most hazy type beers the hops are actually bright and pop and the beer doesn't linger cloyingly on the palate. I don't know how far they go out of Nebraska but as a jaded old beer nerd who drinks IPA all the time this one really impressed me.

Is he a good follow? I've only seen what seemed like faux outrage in an attempt to sell his book, maybe I'm just a dub though

You cowards

I have some bias but this is one of the best IPAs I've had recently. In <2 years these guys have become (IMO) the best brewery in the state. I don't think they have plans to expand too far from here anytime soon, though.

Spanish Manlove posted:

Oh, they went from batch 68 to batch 70

Agreed, cowards.

Shrapnig posted:

Maybe they actually made a batch 69 that was great in theory but no one ever finished it.

What's so bad about this you may ask? Well Frederick Douglass was pro temperance movement and wrote many articles and speeches about how terrible alcohol was and it's connection to slave owners and slavery.
