Greetings from Philadelphia, where the Brewers Association’s annual Craft Brewers Conference has entered its third and final day. I’ve been covering the event this week for VinePair, and I’ll have a proper report on the gathering—including details of talks by BA economist Matt Gacioch and president/CEO Bart Watson, both happening later today—in my column there on Friday. If you’re still roving Philly’s cavernous convention center for Day Three, and would like to meet up IRL, reply to this email or text dinfontay.11 on Signal and we’ll try to make it happen. I’ve still got some stickers to give away!

For the rest of yinz youse, quick items from my notebook below.
