My Peach Saison is ready!! It has been on CO2 for week. I like the volumes choice. It is nicely carbed without being to effervescent. Peach on the nose with a bit of saison/brett funk. A little heavy handed at 9%, but dry, slightly malty, with good mouthfeel. I am pretty happy overall. #beer #craftbeer #homebrewing #homebrewer #peachsaison #co2 #brettanomyces https://www.instagram.com/p/CjwKIU7p1PC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
#Repost @brewingwright First Sip of my fresh hopped Centennial Pale Ale, 7.5% abv with some hops straight from the bine in the glass. Second year homegrown Centennial Hops used in this all-grain brew. The malt profile is balanced by the hops and relatively high alcohol content. Not a bad effort, and I’m so excited to have brewed a beer with hops I grew! #homebrewing #homebrewer #paleale #amberale #freshhops #wethops #centennialhops #craftbeergeek #craftbeernerd #homebrewstories #homebrewingexperience #homebrewingonly #homebrewfanatic #diybeer #brewyourown #beer #craftbeerlover #prost #salud #cheers #bier #birra #beerselfie https://www.instagram.com/p/CiaY7D1LzAM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
The recent closures of brick & mortar locations of both #MoreBeer & #NorthernBrewer are a sign of our economic times unfortunately. We wish them luck in their future strategic decisions.
Margins are thin in the industry & with real estate at a premium, it does not make viable sense to maintain a "showroom" with all the overhead expenses: rent, utilities, employees, inventory, etc.
"Retails" focus should always be on the customer experience & convenience. Time is a premium now more than ever. It's a commodity valued & leveraging it thru online options while multi-tasking is key.
This is why we have #willcall for local pickups in our San Leandro, CA warehouse. It's why we have always been a brewing supply warehouse.
We have received quite a few calls & even some visitors to our location. Please do yourself a favor & take the time to look at our site & place an order online for #willcall pickup. It will be ready in 15 minutes guaranteed.
If you're not local & need brewing or distilling supplies, grains or parts, we ship orders out within the day of receiving it. (Orders received same day are shipped out before 4pm.)
As the "Grandfather" of home brewing, William's Brewing has always felt a broad spectrum of quality equipment, malts & supplies at reasonable prices back by excellent customer service is what home brewers want & need. We're here for you.
So, what is the OGL and why are DnD creators thoroughly screwed?
Tumblr has not been doing a great job at talking about this, but:
With OneDnD, Wizards of the Coast has decided to update the Open Game License (OGL). Said license is what allowed people to create homebrew DnD content and sell it, and even larger companies to use certain sorts of content. Pathfinder, for example, is built on said OGL. This also allows streamers and artists to exist and benefit from said content.
With OneDnD (sometimes called “dnd 6e”), WOTC wants to create a much more restrictive OGL, which will, amongst other things:
Make WOTC take a cut for any DnD-related work (according to Kickstarter, a whole 25% of the benefits)
Let WOTC cancel any project related to DnD up to their discretion
Let WOTC take ANY content made based on their system, and re-sell it without crediting you, or giving you a single cent
And most importantly, revoke the old OGL, which will harm any company or game system that used it as a base, such as Pathfinder. And it means they GET ownership over any homebrew content you may have done for 5e in the past!
It’s important to note that OGLs are supposedly irrevocable. They were planning to use it for OneDnD initially, but they want to apply it retroactively to 5e, somehow. Which is illegal, but lawyers have mentioned there’s a chance they may get away with it given the wording.
This means that anything you make based on DnD (A homebrew item? A character drawing? Even music, according to them?), can get taken and used as they deem appropiate.
These news come from a leak of the OGL, which have been confirmed by multiple reputable sources (including Kickstarter, which has confirmed that WOTC already talked with them about this), and was planned to be released next week.
So, what can we do?
Speak against it. Share the word. Reblog this post. Let people know. Tumblr hasn’t been talking much about this matter, but it’s VERY important to let people know about what is WOTC bringing.
Boycott them. Do not buy their products. Do not buy games with their IP. Do not watch their movie. CANCEL your DnD Beyond subscription. (Btw, they ARE planning to release more subscription services too!). They do not care about the community, but they care about the money. Make sure to speak through it.
And maybe consider other TTRPG systems for the time being, Pathfinder’s Paizo has been much nicer to the community, their workers are unionized and are far more healthy overall
Are You a Beer Snob or a Beer Nerd?
There’s a huge difference between beer nerds and beer snobs. Both play vital roles in the craft beer industry, but it’s better to be a nerd. Here’s a list about it.
Nerds are enthusiastic and friendly, while snobs are pretentious and condescending.
Nerds introduce you to new beers. Snobs leave a bad taste in your mouth.
Beer snobs think craft beer is very…
