as we advance through this unyielding barrage, i can't help but decry the lack of notice we were given before this all-out onslaught began, yet, amidst the chaos, i find solace in thoughts of breweries, those bastions of camaraderie in disguise. each bottle, akin to a comrade pre-installed with stories of valor, encourages us to start again, to face the morrow with renewed spirit and vigor, no matter the adversities we encounter today.
