Personally, in addition to adding a few more off-drinking days to my usual schedule, I\u2019d also (pandemic willing) like to get back to reconnecting with people through local beer hangouts. I\u2019ve been in my work bunker for the past four+ years, and these last two really haven\u2019t made anything easier in terms of re-engaging. Been working long-ass days trying to get my art stuff off the ground, and it\u2019ll just be nice to continue getting back out into the world a bit more.<\/p>\n<p>So yeah, this year I\u2019d like to get back to reconnecting through beer. I feel like I know myself a bit better now, feel like I\u2019ve made some pretty big personal changes, and kicking back with a few beers and strangers and settling into a conversation sounds like one of the best things ever. Lord knows what the latest variant is going to do to public spaces in 2022, but at least I\u2019d like to get back to hosting more small stuff in the beer garden with our vaccinated peeps. I\u2019m honestly looking forward to whatever shitstorm this upcoming year has in store for us. Whatever you\u2019re working on, I hope you find lots of strength and success with it this year.<\/p>\n<p>How you holding up? Got any beer-related projects or resolutions you\u2019re working on? Have anything in the beer world you\u2019re looking forward to in 2022?
