Pi-Hole is an awesome service to run in your house. It keeps ads from loading on every device, and will run on any Raspberry Pi, Docker container or virtual machine you'd like. But did you know it can do SO much more than just block ads? You can also completely bypass 3rd party DNS servers like 8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1, 208.67. 222.222, or the ones ran by your ISP.
But first... What am I drinking???
Freigeist Bierkultur's Aufschneider, a 'Hoppy German-style Hefeweizen Ale'. This reminded me a lot of a Radler... you know, a lager mixed with grapefruit soda? But think of a Hefe mixed with a Pale Ale. It's better than it sounds, but it's also neither a Pale Ale, nor a Hefe. Not bad, but not for me.
