Last episode from Saratoga, NY. Bound by Fate was one of the highlights of the weekend, a really cool little taproom. The Abner Doubleday house taproom of Real McCoy was a trip as it was this ancient building. Kind of amazing a bar is in there.

Yeah, to only have an Instagram page, and actually make someone work to understand who you are, is ridiculous. It's wild that something as basic as hours is overlooked.

Yeah, there's a mantra in the content creation world to the effect of "create once, publish everywhere". It behooves companies that make stuff to ensure they can be found wherever their potential customers could be.

Came across them somewhere in the social media world. Looks like their taproom opened in mid-March.

Re: Steadfast Brewing
That location has had an interesting history, Lansdowne Brewing (which I'm not sure it ever actually started brewing before it closed), and I think there was something else in there before Steadfast. Hope they do ok in that space!

Re: BAOS "Get it in ya" Festival
I emailed Blood Brothers this afternoon to see how big a pour was and how many tokens a pour costs. I also read about the overcrowding and long lineups at Over The Tap earlier this year and asked if anything will be done to alleviate those issues at Get It In Ya.

Re: Beer & Brewing Critiques & Pet Peeves
One persistent peeve is the ubiquity of Guinness at bars, often as the only dark beer. It's a respectable beer, and I like that they ensure it's always served correctly.
