Been thinking about this for the past week after hearing that Anais Mitchell’s musical Hadestown has a film version screening now. This was one of the last albums I bought via Amazon - just before the pandemic shut everything down. It took months arriving. Happy to buy again on BC.

A newer variant of Sippin Pretty. Don’t actually know how long they’ve been making it but today was the first time I saw it.

What if every movie was about different ways you could come back from being dead? The themes find me even when I’m not trying.

A new one in my market from Melvin is always worth a try and this IPA Method Krush is a great easy drinker for the summer heat.

Nobody told me Margo Price surprise dropped a cover album of a protest songs for the 4th of July?!!

Chapter & Verse. A wild ale with two kinds of nectarines from Cellador

Don’t know why this is a collab that happened but hell yeah! I love it. And they picked Nami for the Nuggets! That price tho.. just under $200 —Never bought an anime figure so I don’t know how inflated it is but the NBA license probably didn’t come cheap.

Oh, I almost forgot another cool fact. The Nora Kelly Band is actually one I found because they were the real band behind the song See You In Hell from the game Lost Records: Bloom & Rage

Another crazy one from the beer club. If someone makes a mango cheesecake thing I’m going to try it. Nightmare Engine from Dssolvr in Asheville

The thickest beer I’ve ever seen. It’s kinda insane to look at. The head is like a root beer float. It makes sense though I guess — because it’s peach graham cracker sour with vanilla soft serve added.

Got this a couple weeks ago in honor of my brother who would have turned 40 today.. RIP to my favorite guy. The reason I am learning French is because when I tried to talk him in to learning a language with me he said I should learn French because it sounded prettiest and poets ahold know it.

It’s been a few weeks since release and I already talked about loving this album but WIDOWSPEAK - Roses is so good! It’s definitely going to make my best of 2026 list. If you ever liked Mazzy Star — or even just loved the song Fade Into You — then you need WIDOWSPEAK in your life.

Loophole Technicality. A fluffy haze juice bomb from Hop Butcher. The smell immediately made me think about some candy I can’t place and now it’s going to distract me. It might be one of those tropical skittles.
