How To Actually Getting Stuff Done When You’re High On Cannabis

Published

2 years ago

on

Cannabis doesn’t necessarily enhance or detract from your ability to achieve. However, depending on your physical and emotional condition, it can provide some benefits to you as a person.

For the vast majority of my friends and acquaintances, 2022 was a difficult year. Lots of growth! I can definitely say that last year was one of the hardest ones of my life, where I was challenged beyond my “self” and was forced to grow into something else.

Nonetheless, I managed to be insanely productive last year. I completed several books, created numerous websites, built products, wrote articles, courses, etc. — all the while being a stoner.

This proves that cannabis and procrastination isn’t intrinsically connected, irrespective of the fact that it’s far more fun to procrastinate stoned. However, in my personal life, I have found that when I learned how to use cannabis more efficiently, I was able to overcome procrastination. This is because it has nothing to do with the weed and much more to do with the self.

Procrastination is the act of delaying or postponing tasks or activities. It is a common problem that can lead to stress, decreased productivity, and feelings of inadequacy. There are many reasons why people procrastinate.

One reason is fear of failure. People may be afraid that they will not be able to complete a task to their satisfaction or that they will not be able to meet the expectations of others.

Another reason is a lack of motivation. People may not find a task interesting or rewarding, so they put it off. Procrastination can also be a coping mechanism for stress or anxiety.

Instead of facing a difficult task, people may engage in activities that provide immediate gratification or avoidance.

To overcome procrastination, it is important to identify the root cause and develop strategies to address it. Setting specific and achievable goals, breaking tasks into smaller steps, and seeking accountability can all help to overcome procrastination.

Furthermore, seeing that we’re in the beginning of the year and there are many people going to be doing their New Year’s Resolutions, I thought it would be good to work on how you can actually achieve the goals you have set up for yourself!

Why don’t people achieve their resolutions?

Before we can advance, it’s important to understand why people fail. This is irrespective of whether you smoke weed. In fact, people who smoke weed tend to do the things they like anyhow, and therefore, when you can align your “tasks” with something you like to do – it becomes much easier to follow through.

However, I think it’s probably in our best interest to explore the reasons why people fail their new year’s resolutions. These include:

  • Lack of planning: Many people make resolutions without a clear plan or strategy in place to help them achieve their goals. Without a specific plan, it can be easy to become overwhelmed or lose motivation.
  • Unrealistic goals: Some people set unrealistic goals for themselves, which can be difficult or impossible to achieve. This can lead to frustration and ultimately give up on the resolution.
  • Procrastination: Putting things off until later can be a major barrier to achieving resolutions. People may be tempted to put off tasks or activities until a later time, leading to a lack of progress or even giving up on the resolution altogether.
  • Lack of accountability: It can be helpful to have someone to hold you accountable for your actions and progress towards your resolution. Without someone to check in with, it can be easy to become sidetracked or lose motivation.
  • Limited motivation: Many people struggle to stay motivated when pursuing a new year’s resolution. Without a strong reason for achieving the goal, it can be easy to lose focus or give up.
  • Lack of support: Having a supportive network of people can be crucial in achieving new year’s resolutions. Without a supportive network, it can be more difficult to stay motivated and on track.

As you can see, none of these elements have anything to do with weed and it’s important to be able to focus on these elements to set yourself up for success.

We’ll talk about how to overcome these issues a little bit further. But I want to reiterate the fact that when it comes to achieving ones goals, everybody struggles until they have addressed these issues.

What are the best tips to achieve your resolutions, according to science?

Since everyone is all about the “science” these days, I decided to let “science” help us out in solving the issues listed above. Therefore, I simply went and looked at the common problems and did some research and this is what I found.

Here are some tips that may help you achieve your New Year’s resolutions based on scientific research:

  • Make specific, achievable goals: Research has shown that people are more likely to achieve their goals when they are specific and achievable. Instead of resolving to “exercise more,” set a specific goal, such as “exercise for 30 minutes at least 3 times a week.”
  • Write down your goals: Studies have found that people who write down their goals are more likely to achieve them compared to those who don’t. Writing down your goals also helps you clarify what you want to achieve and helps you track your progress.
  • Use positive self-talk: Positive self-talk, or telling yourself that you can achieve your goals, can increase your confidence and motivation. Instead of saying “I can’t do this,” try saying “I can do this!”
  • Find a support system: Having a support system, such as friends or family members who can encourage and motivate you, can make it easier to achieve your goals. You can also seek support from a coach, therapist, or other professional.
  • Be consistent: Consistency is key to achieving your goals. Make sure to take consistent action towards your goals and don’t give up when you face setbacks.
  • Set small, achievable goals: Setting small goals that are easy to achieve can help you build momentum and increase your motivation. As you achieve small goals, you can gradually increase the difficulty of your goals. This is not the same as the first point on “specific and achievable”. This is about the “magnitude” of the goal. For example, “I need to finish 100 of X vs I just need to finish 10 of X 10 times…it provides shorter dopamine feedback loops helping you stay motivated.
  • Reward yourself: Celebrate your progress and accomplishments by rewarding yourself. This can help you stay motivated and keep moving forward towards your goals.
  • Don’t be too hard on yourself: It’s important to be kind and compassionate to yourself. Don’t beat yourself up if you don’t achieve your goals immediately. Instead, focus on making progress and learning from your mistakes.

The fact is that in all likeliness, you’re going to be failing at some of your goals. Some people punish themselves for failure, but when have you ever really “learned anything” when you were being shouted at?

Odds are that you didn’t! Therefore thinking that scolding the self for failure is a way to make you fail less is folly. Rather, accept that sometimes things won’t pan out the way you want — and that it’s not always your fault either.

It’s best to focus on the things that you can change, the things that you can impact, and from there, keep on fueling the fires of motivation instead of trying to stomp out whatever isn’t going the way you want it to!

How can I use weed as a motivational tool for getting stuff done?

Cannabis doesn’t necessarily enhance or detract from your ability to achieve. However, depending on your physical and emotional condition, it can provide some benefits to you as a person.

These positive side effects can help you achieve your goals especially if you are physically impaired by disease or some psychological issue.

There are several potential positive effects of cannabis on a person, including:

As you can imagine, “pain” is a very potent distractor and if cannabis can help mitigate the experience of pain, it will open up some bandwidth to “get shit done”.

Similarly, some people are paralyzed with anxiety about doing “things”. Therefore, smoking a hit or two of weed can jostle the mind enough to allow you to turn the anxiety into excitement. When we’re more relaxed and able to “get into the moment”, we can get things done.

By increasing sleep, mood, focus, and creativity, we can utilize these elements to help us achieve the things we want.

However, perhaps there is a way we can use specific strains to help us achieve more focus, energy, so we can use that as fuel for getting things done?

What are the best cannabis strains for focus and energy?

While there are thousands of different strains, we’ll take a look at the general overview of strains and you can use this to choose your own approach. Of course, I’m not a big fan of the semantics I’m going to use in this following section, as they are not descriptive enough about the particular pheno. However, since most people think about weed in these terms, I might as well use their language to get my point across.

Having said that…

There are several cannabis strains that may be helpful for increasing focus and energy. Some popular options include:

Sativa strains: These strains are known for their uplifting, energizing effects and are often used to increase focus and productivity. Some popular sativa strains include Green Crack, Durban Poison, and Super Lemon Haze.

Hybrid strains: Hybrid strains can have both sativa and indica characteristics and may be helpful for increasing focus and energy while also providing some relaxation. Some popular hybrid strains for focus and energy include Jack Herer, Pineapple Express, and Jillybean.

High-CBD strains: CBD is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid found in cannabis that is known for its potential to reduce anxiety and stress, which can increase focus and energy. Some popular high-CBD strains for focus and energy include Harlequin, ACDC, and Cannatonic.

As mentioned, this is a very rudimentary way of looking at cannabis. However, in “principle” the information is good. You’ll want to focus on high Sativas which will allow you to have the energy and creativity you seek, but to balance it out with some CBD – so you’re not entirely zonked out of your mind.

Ultimately, you’re going to need to experiment with different strains and different quantities in order to find the sweet spot. You also need to know “when to smoke” and “when to abstain” in order for it to work in your favor.

Conclusion

As mentioned earlier, cannabis doesn’t necessarily “help you achieve” or “not achieve” your goals (this all comes from within), but this doesn’t mean that you can’t use it for this purpose. You simply need to get clear on what it is you want, know when to consume and what to consume — and then keep on going forward.

I also recommend to not work on too many goals simultaneously, rather focus on a few solid ones that will have the most impact in your life. When you begin achieving these, you’ll get addicted to achieving….and then nothing can stop you!

Border sales a boost for most marijuana retailers across US

Published

1 year ago

on

September 8, 2023

By

Marijuana sales along state lines are key revenue generators for retail operators in the United States, and new insights suggest a similar business bump along international borders, particularly Mexico.

Data compiled by New York-based wholesale technology platform LeafLink – as well as information gathered from state agencies, quarterly reports and interviews with several cannabis companies – bear that out.

LeafLink analyzed hundreds of ZIP codes at the request of MJBizDaily and found strong links that when new recreational markets open, retailers near borders stock up on inventory significantly more than operators located elsewhere in a state.

Data from the past three years revealed wholesale marijuana products purchased by border stores jumped 140% after the launch of adult-use sales, while retailers located in more interior areas increased purchases by about 80%.

“The growth when a state launches adult-use sales at a border store in terms of purchasing activity is around double the growth of the remainder of the state,” LeafLink Strategy Analyst Ben Burstein told MJBizDaily.

Of course, numerous factors are at play – perhaps none more impactful than the marijuana policies of neighboring states.

That’s why Illinois retailers near Wisconsin, where marijuana possession is illegal, are still attracting Wisconsinites nearly four years after the launch of recreational sales.

There also are retail sales-tax implications, a big reason why St. Louis-areas operators are seeing an influx of shoppers from southern Illinois, where cannabis taxes are at least three times higher than in Missouri.

Meanwhile, border retail in New Mexico is boosting depressed economies along hundreds of miles of its shared borders, drawing stampedes of consumers from neighboring Texas and, more recently, cross-border buyers from Mexico.

Retail shakeup in the heartland

The February launch of adult-use sales in Missouri has caused ripple effects throughout the Midwest.

Missouri holds the rare distinction of bordering eight states, with only Illinois offering recreational marijuana sales.

Missouri’s 6% retail tax on recreational marijuana purchases is also among the lowest in the nation, drawing Illinois consumers across the Mississippi River in droves to buy much cheaper weed.

All in, cannabis sales taxes in neighboring Illinois eclipse 30%, second only to Washington state. And in Chicago, sales taxes can easily top 40%.

Demand is booming in western Missouri, too.

In April, Missouri retailers near the border of Kansas, where marijuana possession is also illegal, told MJBizDaily they were seeing foot traffic increase ninefold after expanding into recreational sales.

The rush of new customers, coupled with cultivation-capacity lags, has led to big spikes in wholesale flower prices and inventory shortages throughout the supply chain.

Retailers, for their part, are trying to keep pace.

To meet consumer demand, wholesale purchases per store in the Kansas City, Missouri, market increased from $97,000 in the quarter before the launch of recreational sales to $491,000 in the quarter after, a whopping 406% jump, according to LeafLink data.

In the St. Louis market, which borders southwestern Illinois, wholesale purchases per store increased nearly 57%, to $610,000, after adult-use sales began.

“The demand’s been bigger than anyone expected,” Burstein said.

A zero-sum game

In marijuana retail, particularly near state borders, it’s a zero-sum game.

The sales boom in the St. Louis market, which has more than 70 stores, has deflated business on the Illinois side of the border, where retailers have lost millions of dollars in sales since Missouri’s adult-use launch, according to quarterly reports and earnings calls.

Top executives at New York-based multistate operator Ascend Wellness Holdings, which has two shops near the Missouri border, cited revenue declines at its southern Illinois stores in recent earnings, saying it has led to suppressed margins that are expected to linger for much of the year.

Florida-based MSO Jushi Holdings, which also operates two Illinois stores near the Missouri border, reported an 8.8% year-over-year revenue decline to $66.4 million in its second quarter, partially attributing the slide to adult-use sales in Missouri.

In an Aug. 11 second-quarter earnings call, Jushi CEO James Cacioppo said total Illinois sales declined 20% from the first quarter and 40% year-over-year.

“I think we under-anticipated the pricing power initially out of the gate that retailers were going to have in Missouri,” Jushi Chief Strategy Director Trent Woloveck told MJBizDaily in an interview.

“The impact was a little bit greater than then we had thought due to that pricing for flower, vapes and infused products.”

In response, Jushi has implemented several initiatives, including adding new promotions and diversifying product SKUs (stock-keeping units) to ease the impact of declines sales in Illinois.

Northern exposure

Market dynamics in northern Illinois, particularly along the Wisconsin border, are a different story.

Wisconsin is among 10 states without a medical or recreational marijuana program.

Illinois counties bordering Wisconsin – including Lake, McHenry, Jo Daviess and Winnebago – accounted for 15.4%, or $239.7 million, of the nearly $1.6 billion in cannabis sales last year in the state, according to a fiscal analysis requested by pro marijuana-legalization lawmakers in Wisconsin.

The Wisconsin Legislative Fiscal Bureau report, which was released in March, cited annual statistics from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.

Moreover, the report estimated about 7.8% of marijuana sales in Illinois in 2022, roughly $36.1 million, were generated by out-of-state residents traveling from Wisconsin.

Under Illinois law, out-of-state residents can only purchase recreational cannabis.

Two of Chicago-based multistate operator Cresco Labs’ 10 stores in Illinois are located near the Wisconsin border: a Sunnyside outlet in South Beloit at the border and one in Rockford, about a 30-minute drive away.

The South Beloit store often draws up to 1,000 daily visitors, according to Cresco’s national retail president, Cory Rothschild – traffic on par with the nation’s busiest marijuana retailers in highly populated areas.

It’s all the more impressive, considering that South Beloit has a population of roughly 8,000 and is more than 40 miles from Madison, the nearest city and Wisconsin’s state capital.

“It’s an extremely high-volume retail location,” Rothschild told MJBizDaily.

“South Beloit and Rockford as well are probably (among the) top dispensaries in the country.”

Maryland

Maryland is the newest recreational cannabis market, with nearly 100 medical marijuana dispensaries having converted to adult-use retail in late June.

While LeafLink wholesale data suggests about a 10% increase in wholesale product purchases statewide after the launch of adult-use sales, some retailers along Maryland’s south and eastern borders are doubling orders to meet demand.

In Elkton, near the Delaware border, stores are ordering about $41,000 in wholesale products per month, up 115% since the launch of recreational sales on July 1.

In the Rockville/Germantown area – outside of Washington DC and near the Virginia and West Virginia borders – monthly wholesale purchases have increased about 42%, to $54,000 per store, since recreational sales began.

Though MMJ dispensaries opened in West Virginia in 2021, the state still has some of the harshest marijuana laws in the country, according to the Marijuana Policy Project.

Meanwhile, Virginia’s adult-use rollout has been put on ice by Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin.

MSO MariMed’s wholesale business serving retailers in Maryland has benefited from increased demand from neighboring states, according to Jeff Jones, director of operations.

“We have retail customers that are very close to Virginia, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and I’m sure that’s driving a significant amount of their business,” he said.

The Massachusetts-based company supplies every retailer in the state with its product brands.

MariMed is planning to double its cultivation and canopy space in Maryland, with product from that expansion expected to hit the wholesale and retail markets in the first quarter of 2024, Jones said.

Its retail operation in Annapolis – the state capital is about a 45-minute drive from Pennsylvania or West Virginia – hasn’t experienced the same type of uptick from border business but is still performing well, according to Jones.

A tale of two borders

The small town of Sunland Park, New Mexico, has racked up outsized sales since the state launched recreational retail in April 2022.

The sparsely populated bedroom community is situated across the border from El Paso, Texas, and Jaurez, Mexico, which have a combined population of more than 2.2 million.

That purchasing power has helped Sunland Park’s 88063 ZIP code top the state for per-capita adult-use spending, a sales metric that divides dollars spent for cannabis by population.

Per-person recreational marijuana spending in Sunland Park was $1,044, according to an MJBizDaily analysis of data from the New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department.

Its 88063 ZIP code also houses two of New Mexico’s leading cannabis stores.

Ultra Health and Everest Cannabis Co. generated nearly $6.1 million in combined sales from August 2022 to February 2023, according to MJBizDaily research.

Because business has been so strong at that Sunland Park store, Ultra Health last summer opened an adjacent location that handles only online orders for pickups.

The majority of its 42 stores were strategically aligned to capture business along New Mexico’s more than 600-mile border with Texas, the second-most-populated state.

“I would say half our business is Texas-related,” Ultra Health CEO Duke Rodriguez told MJBizDaily.

As part of that strategy, the company is planning to open an outlet in Lordsburg with hopes of drawing customers from Mexico, Texas and Arizona.

Mexico border towns share more than commerce, including family, culture and language.

Some residents own commercial properties and homes on either side of the border.

And residents tend to travel freely between Juarez, El Paso and Sunland Park to shop, dine and visit friends and family, according to Rodriguez.

Many also buy regulated marijuana, which might come as a surprise to some industry watchers, especially those unfamiliar with border business in the Southwest.

Though transporting licensed cannabis across the U.S.-Mexico border is barred under federal law, it’s fairly common, industry insiders tell MJBizDaily.

“The product is intended to be consumed within the state of New Mexico and should not cross state or international boundaries,” Ultra Health’s Rodriguez advised.

“The reality is some consumers cross these boundaries intentionally or by not being fully aware of the risk and prohibition.”

Sales in other border communities, such as Clovis and Hobbs – where Ultra Health also has stores – are also outpacing the field, another sign that Texans, and some Mexicans, are crossing the border to purchase marijuana from New Mexico marijuana retailers.

Cannabis Art Is Flourishing On Etsy

Published

1 year ago

on

September 4, 2023

By

Although there is an available and thriving market for cannabis art, most e-commerce websites and platforms prohibit artists from selling art that depicts cannabis.

Is there any section or industry without cannabis influence? It’s starting to look like there isn’t any, as, throughout history, cannabis users have displayed their creative capabilities in various ways. And now cannabis art is flourishing on Etsy

Cannabis users and enthusiasts are some of the most innovative people you’ll ever meet, and their inspiring works of art have been admired for decades. Most of the works created by cannabis enthusiasts have also sparked debate for centuries, dating William Shakespeare’s times.

Cannabis and the creative arts 

Research has shown a fantastic connection between cannabis and creativity, an intriguing relationship that is attributed to the plant’s remarkable properties. Cannabis interacts with the human brain through the endocannabinoid system and receptors in the brain.

Extensive works of research show that creative prowess and imagination heighten when users consume cannabis, thus enabling divergent and distinct thought patterns. Hence the reason great men and women like Maya Angelou and Louis Armstrong celebrated the impact of cannabis on their creative careers.A more significant percentage of the creative industry is also full of trailblazers who have affirmed that cannabis is a significant influence on their success. For such artists, marijuana inspires the way they hone their crafts and showcase their ideas.

Despite such a show of artistic brilliance, some artists struggle with finding a place to showcase their works. Why is this the case? Why can’t artist showcase their cannabis-inspired art?

The problem with finding a market showcase  

Although there is an available and thriving market for cannabis art, most e-commerce websites and platforms prohibit artists from selling art that depicts cannabis. Some of these merchant shops also flag items such as CBD paraphernalia and insist that such things cannot be sold.

With such restrictions, creative artists fail to get an adequate space to share their creations with the world. Artists feel shut out of the market space, and then COVID-19 happened.

The Coronavirus Pandemic made everything worse for cannabis artists and businesses to maintain operations, which created a disturbing gap in the market.

The Solution: A cannabis-themed marketplace

As the challenge became increasingly worse, two outspoken cannabis advocates co-founded an online marketplace called The Artsy Leaf. Space was set-up as a multi-vendor marketplace to make it possible for artists to display their works.

The co-founders Abbey Weintraub Sklar and Rebecca Goldberg discovered that there were many international craftsmen, women, and artists with products that weren’t shared on any platform. The artists’ products are unique cannabis-friendly items that were mostly scattered on censored tech platforms that limited their exposure to the world.

Goldberg and Skylar understood the importance of an online vendor marketplace created for creators and buyers in the cannabis industry. COVID-19 and its resultant impact was also the inspiration behind an online space.

Initially, it was supposed to be an in-person CBD marketplace, but the pandemic made physical meetings impossible for buying and selling purposes. Hence the reason the co-founders made it an online space with a highly functional website.

The Artsy Leaf

The Artsy Leaf marketplace replaces other online platforms that were too restrictive for those in the cannabis industry. Some of those unfriendly sites didn’t provide room for tagging, describing, and listing CBD products, making it difficult for artists to advertise their products.

But with the Artsy Leaf marketplace, vendors and small business owners have maximum freedom to advertise their cannabis items. The platform also incorporates advertising with SEO consulting and doesn’t hide its processing fees.

The co-founders maintain that their desire to help all cannabis vendors succeed drives the marketplace. The website launched with an initial 14 vendors, and with its viable operational approach, more vendors are expected to join this revolutionary idea.

A virtual cannabis marketplace is what the world needs right now to bridge the gap between artists and buyers. Cannabis-inspired pieces will always remain relevant globally because of how unique and disruptive they can be. The Artsy Leaf is the right incubation place for ideas, purchases, and value exchange.

The future of the online marketplace 

The future of the online cannabis marketplace for artists looks promising, and why is this so important? Well, cannabis is gaining a lot of momentum in America, with more states legalizing marijuana more people will gain access to weed, and when they do, they may be inspired to create unique art pieces or be looking to purchase unique cannabis inspired works.

Either way, the cannabis world needs an outlet for artists to share their works, and this is where platforms like the Artsy Leaf become crucial. Other online platforms may start to look into adjusting their policies regarding this issue because this sector is about to explode.

It is time to change the current status quo on the other E-commerce sites not allowing cannabis artists to showcase their genius.

Bottom line

The world is awakening to the ever-increasing potentials of cannabis. Through marketplaces like the Artsy Leaf, cannabis artists and art lovers can meet, interact and sustain the cannabis industry.

Without platforms like these, cannabis-inspired art will gradually decline, and that isn’t good for the cannabis industry at all. We must all continue to encourage the establishments of platforms (online and offline) where artists can thrive. Budding cannabis artists need more places to express themselves, and the Artsy Leaf is a suitable platform.

If you are a cannabis-themed artist, an aspiring one, or a small business owner and you struggle with promoting your work, you can visit The Artsy Leaf.

Beer Lingo, A Guide To Becoming A Better Patron

Bars are wondrous places full of beer, chatter, celebration, ways to get drunk and opportunities to meet friends. But they are also tricky. As with most niche scenes, there is lingo you need to know, terms you should memorize and slang with which you should show facility. What’s Imperial mean? How do you pronounce “weisse?” And how much should I tip my bartender? Hang on, because you’re about to find out the answers to all of these. Here is your beer lingo, a guide to becoming a better patron. BTW, the Slavic word ‘beer’ came from the verb ‘to drink’. Initially, beer was any kind of drink.

Hops

Small green pine cone-like buds that grow on vines. Their oils and acids preserve and flavor beer.

Hoppy

The thing snobby people refer to about beer, and what people who hardly ever drink beer say they don’t like. Hoppy is often used as a synonym for the word ‘bitter,’ but there are plenty of beers that use loads of hops and don’t taste the least bit bitter.

Malt

The sugars used to sweeten beer.

Malty

A cider-like drink made exclusively with pears.

Imperial

https://giphy.com/embed/3o7TKGVVeQK1j0fbe8

A word out in front of certain beer styles (Stout, IPA) meaning they’re much stronger.

Mead

https://giphy.com/embed/yIXVnzpoNiE0w
via GIPHY

Beer produced from honey, water and yeast.

Ale

https://giphy.com/embed/lAayRqqtfuqju
via GIPHY

Ale is brewed using a warm fermentation method, resulting in a sweet, full-bodied and fruity taste. It is a maltier, top-fermented beer.

Lager

https://giphy.com/embed/dM34XK49ulmDu
via GIPHY

A beer that is effervescent and light in color and body. it is a dry, bottom-fermented drink.

IPA

Stands for India Pale Ale because it was originally brewed in the United Kingdom and shipped to British soldiers in India during colonization (which is still basically happening). It is made with more hops, to give it a stronger flavor. There’s no standardised threshold at which a pale ale becomes an IPA, though.

Cask-Conditioned

https://giphy.com/embed/dg3i5NvtNCr8A
via GIPHY

The process in which a draught beer retains yeast to enable a secondary fermentation to take place in a cask in the pub cellar. Cask conditioned beer is the traditional drink of the British pub, and served properly, it can be among the most subtle and beguiling of beer types.

Fresh Hop

https://giphy.com/embed/3oEdv8lx4icZfRYEPS
via GIPHY

Beer made with recently picked hops that haven’t been dried. It provides distinctively grassy, plant-like, and “green” flavor profiles without the bitterness associated with IPAs and other beers featuring copious dried hops.

Weisse

https://giphy.com/embed/qgqaIJrAgqawE
via GIPHY

Pronounced ‘Vice’ is the counterpart in German for “white,” most commonly used in reference to the sour Berliner type of beer, but also sometimes to the Bavarian type, as in weissbier. Weizen is the German word for “wheat,” most often applied to the Bavarian wheat beer style.

Microbrew

https://giphy.com/embed/l0MYtSjYO26kguz1C
via GIPHY

Compared to macrobreweries, which produce millions of barrels per year, microbreweries produce a relatively small amount of beer—between 1,000 to no more than 15,000 barrels annually. But aside from their size, what makes microbreweries special is that they’re known for brewing specialty beers.

The type of beer you do not use for beer pong unless you make more money than your bartender.

Pint

https://giphy.com/embed/DGWAx8d3IkICs
via GIPHY

The size of glass most beers are served in, and also the thing you dropped and smashed when you were trying to text your Uber driver.

Dive Bar

The kind of bar you actually really like going to, unless you’re trying to impress a date or a friend. It is typically a small, unglamorous, eclectic, old-style drinking establishment with inexpensive yet strong drinks; it may feature dim lighting, shabby or dated decor, neon beer signs, packaged beer sales, cash-only service, and local clientele

BTW, the strongest beer in the world has a strength of 67.5%. It was created in 2017 by the Scottish brewery Brewmeister. The beer is called Snake Venom

Pickup Line

The thing you should never say because it never works.

Tip

The amount of money you give a bartender after a transaction, which should be more than you initially think to give because A) most bartenders are relatively poor and deserve dough, and B) if you tip a lot you’ll be remembered C) if you tip too little you’ll be remembered D )

How do you want to be remembered?

Patron

https://giphy.com/embed/3oz8xTawWVM7Npb1FS

Someone who loves the bar they go to, not just someone who is there a lot. If you’re unclear on the distinction, you’ve never loved before.
