Norfolk Controversy: Online Outrage – Online hate group drama unfolds in Coastal Virginia Brewing Community on Reddit

Posted on July 22, 2025July 23, 2025 by Bier Meister

Due to a heat wave, construction is lingering, because, well, it’s a back yard hobby project with no real time frame. Interestingly enough, the Coastal Virginia Brewing Audience has a little drama to watch unfold. When you look to do business in Norfolk, this is the kind of thing you run into. What’s going to…

When you realize …

Posted on March 15, 2025March 15, 2025 by Bier Meister

When you realize your campaign of hate over the last two years is irrelevant now, and you’re struggling for relevance. No one cares anymore, and all you’ve accomplished is an empty building, and lost jobs for your (LGBTQ+) neighbors. A Pyrrhic victory you’ve won in the culture war.

The Useful Idiots

Posted on March 13, 2025March 13, 2025 by Bier Meister

May I present for your viewing pleasure, the useful idiots who drive private sector jobs out of Norfolk, with the government down sizing… proving the claims they’re a “woke mob” correct. Do they even understand they drove their neighbors (even gay and trans people) out of jobs? How long are we going to have an…

The hits keep on coming

Posted on March 13, 2025March 13, 2025 by Bier Meister

I really wanted to do another fun post today, as I’m playing with the software, style, and doing other web-hosty stuff in the back ground I’ve not done in years. I can finally generate content … be a driver, rather then a mechanic, in the car analogy. After going for a year, I can say…

… where your ship can come in …

Port hopping on a hopper? Heh, endless jokes about grains, hops, yeast, and water when you’re talking about beer. All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players …

What in the fresh hell is this?

Posted on March 11, 2025March 11, 2025 by Bier Meister

How is a brewery that closed due to severe financial mismanagement, going to send out an email to solicit investors, less than a week after closing with no notice, not paying employees? Acting like nothing happened? WTF?

New Day

Posted on March 9, 2025March 9, 2025 by Bier Meister

New thoughts … The business closed, so all the talk will die quickly, but the recaps from people … it’s crazy. Reading things from people that never went there, kind of proves the point of what ‘woke mob’ means. I’m really sad to see LGBTQ+ folks hating on LGBTQ+ folks who have lost their job….

Oh snap, dial it up!

Posted on March 6, 2025March 8, 2025 by Bier Meister

The first hot take … in local brewery news, Armed Forces Brewing Co. closed today officially. The CVBA gets its second brewery closing in Norfolk (Reaver Beach at Milan Station). The public word is the woke mob, which is a true story on the state of business in Norfolk. If you don’t do what Andrew…

221B Baker Brown

Posted on March 6, 2025March 6, 2025 by Bier Meister

Redbeard Brewing Redbeard Brewing Tasting for the first time tonight a 221B Baker Brown from Redbeard Brewing. It’s soft and smooth. That’s all I have right now for words, other than it’s really good and I like it. I’ll have to work on the photography, but the color wonderful, and the clarity is great. I…
