What a year for hardcore bands, both old and new.
When it comes to breakfast, I'm a child at heart. Despite being in the marketing industry for about 15 years, when it comes to the cereal game, I'm a sucker for new flavors, cheap gimmicks, and ambitious collabs.
Oof. If there was ever a year that needed copious amounts of beer, it was 2020. Didn’t travel too much, but drank a lot. A LOT.
20 fuckin' 20 eh? If a year could be the opposite of a banger, it'd be this one. But it did produce some amazing music.
I promised myself that when my child was born, I would seriously cut back on beer intake, spending, chasing, acquiring, trading, etc. I have tried to do that to the best of my ability, but the sweet sweet nectar's siren song has yet to release it's stranglehold on me.
I'm not sure I can sustain making this list for too much longer. I try way too many different beers and refuse to document most of them
As 2017 shows itself out the door like a houseguest that's overstayed it's welcome, it's time for one of my favorite exercises of the year.
2021 was a great year for music… especially of the heavy variety.
