What's That Sound at Your Local Brewery?

Some form of improvisational rock is happening around the corner from you. Is it too much too fast?

It’s a Saturday afternoon and you and some friends are going to hit that new brewery in town. It’s in that old warehouse you remember being nothing when you were younger. Now they’ve got eleven home brewed beers on tap, one hard seltzer and a dry cider. Maybe you’re going to order a few wood-fired pizzas - tavern cut of course - after throwing back that “nice hazy IPA bro 🤙”. You already tore through their big fat soft pretzel with house made stone ground mustard (steer clear of the two for $12 tacos, they’re always so underwhelming). As the music starts, your buddy leans over and - after blowing a pen rip in your face - says, “yo this band is opening for Twiddle and Lettuce in May. We should totally hit that.” Until somewhat recently this sentence would’ve been unintelligible. But in 2023, this is what white-people-late-twenties-through-early-thirties culture has become. Welcome to the jam band glut.
