Just handed in my two weeks at the brewery I work for to pursue a new opportunity that fell in my lap while I was visiting a friend in Kona, Hawaii. Lot's of bittersweet feelings, but I couldn't be more excited for the new gig…
Gonna be helping a much smaller and newer place up their beer game in serious way...
Shit yes! Whom did you work for in MI if you do t mind disclosing? HI is friggin paradise, very envious of and happy for you.

The doping case against him has been dropped . . . Why because it was utter nonsense

@neph93 Funny that as my wife made me nearly the same for brunch yesterday, and yes I sat there eating it thinking I’m too old to be a hipster too…..

True story [emoji1]
While I am certainly too old to be one I’ve come to the conclusion that while easily derided the whole hipster thing has revitalised modern western culture to a degree. They’ve taken stuff we always knew was good and made nerding over it into an artform.
There’s always something risible about sub-cultures but they tend to contribute more worthwhile things than not in the final analysis. I should know, I was a teenage goth [emoji38]

@neph93 @organisys @steelworker the moment we let the media own a label it becomes that exact thing to mainstream society.
'Hipster' is an age old label, used regularly s8nce the 1950s to describe something of artisanal value and quality and those that seek it out. True hipsters are pretty much luddite and are the modern hippie.
I think we should always have the self confidence to never let society make us think we are too OLD for anything. Fuck that! Do what you enjoy when and where you want.
Peer and societal pressure is a constraint designed to ensure conformity…an irony given the spirit that most of us have on this forum for a rebellious and self determining attitude....denim, the timeless uniform of the rebel and proletariat!!
I'd rather be referred to as a hipster than a 4×4 audi driving new money wanna be...money can buy you a lot, but it can't buy you a good attitude.
How did I get on to this?!...oh well...I had the best smashed avo and poached eggs yet in Norwich last week. The Avo smash had the perfect balance of feta, garden peas, mint, and Sun blushed tomatoes.all served on the obligatory sourdough toast and 2 perfectly poached eggs. Sublime.

Some points.
Neph, I am all for sub cultures, I am hanging in there in a few still….
Stuart, All good points, although I do own an Audi that has all four wheels driven, but don't wory it's not a SUV.
I went to a live electronic gig a few months back (Bicep) and the kids were all dressed like I did when I went raving in the 90s...
right, where is that BMX I was watching on ebay

I like to rebel against societal norms by wearing the same thing as everyone else.
