http://boakandbailey.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/twitter_beer1-1024x832.jpgFor the second year in a row, here’s a list of some Tweets that tickled us in the past 12 months.Because they*told us something we didn’t know, expressed an idea efficiently, or simply made us laugh, we*favourited, re-Tweeted, or included them in one of our weekly round-ups.
1. The Beer Nut observes an amusing juxtaposition in Bamberg.

4. You can keep your*Horrible Histories — Maid Marian and Her Merry Men (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maid_Marian_and_Her_Merry_Men) was the original and the best.
Er… crazy. So it WAS Maid Marian. She does horticulture now and did the hops for Meantime. Day made. pic.twitter.com/D2d4LlaEBJ (http://t.co/D2d4LlaEBJ)

10. An astonishing revelation from James ‘BrewDog’ Watt — how different things might have been! (Reggae Reggae IPA….?)

— James Watt (@BrewDogJames) January 29, 2014 (https://twitter.com/BrewDogJames/status/428460981182681088)
11. Home brewing: not even once.

15. An astute observation.

— Alessio Leone (@alessioxleone) November 24, 2014 (https://twitter.com/alessioxleone/status/536943803698249728)
