Some rain in Exeter today according to this but I didn’t see it

@atjbeer.bsky.social Taken your book out for another quiet read.

It’s Belgium (or should it be Flanders?) that I turn to for my beer of the week in today’s @dailystar.co.uk with this eloquent Abbey ale from St Feuillien

Last night in Llandudno and it’s once more to the fantastic Wild Horse brewery tap room, we were here yesterday and then went to the excellent Black Cloak tap in Colwyn Bay

Yesterday morning I saw you post about your Tipopils piece. I had never heard of the beer before, and I had never seen it in the USA. About 2 hours later I walk into a store, and … #Bskybeer #beersky @atjbeer.bsky.social

August looms. Not as carefree as June. Yet still summer. Not a weekend to waste now. Here’s the news.

Hook Norton Brewery has launched its first alcohol-free and gluten-free beer, a version of local favourite Old Hooky. The new Old Hooky Zero is brewed with Fuggles, Golding and Challenger hops and available from the brewery’s own pub estate and online. www.hooky.co.uk/old-hooky-go...

Back in my home town again to see family and friends , on the beach where I spent a summer handing out deckchairs and on the prom where a great grandfather once paraded up and down when he was a bye-laws inspector

@marcusbrent.bsky.social @brentaidan.bsky.social I first drank Tipopils draft in Rome 10 years ago & realised why it's so highly praised. I had a couple of bottles earlier this year & they were wonderful. Great @atjbeer.bsky.social article as ever.

Tipopils is 30 years old. Can you believe that? A beer that special deserves the @atjbeer.bsky.social treatment, so that's what we gave it. With original art by Dionne Kitching. www.pelliclemag.com/home/2026/7/...

Imagine getting an email from @atjbeer.bsky.social saying they’d like to write a couple of thousand words on Tipopils in its 30th year, and not only being able to commission it, but pay them fairly, and hire an artist to hand draw accompanying illustrations. What a privilege.

Looking forward to doing my sense of place talk at the Brewers Congress at the end of September - it’s actually a busy old month as I’m at the Ludlow Food Festival a couple of weeks before, first talks for a few months, big mouth strikes again in other words www.brewersjournal.info/adrian-tiern...

The iconoclastic Alan Sprints of Hair of the Dog brewing died last night at 66. It is a huge loss not just for the industry, but for so many whose lives he touched. I wrote a long piece on Alan when he closed the brewery four years ago, and I’ll have a remembrance up later this morning.

Does anyone have a rough idea of how pins there are in the highlands

I was in Norwich last week and saw this

Just drank a much acclaimed non-alcoholic pale ale from the US - watery and wort-like, dominated by the hop character on nose and then wort on palate, I’d rather have a cup of tea, I know I’m swimming against the tide but this was so one dimensional, obviously not for me

A joyful summer beer that hits the tack firmly on the head, this collaborative beauty from Anspach & Hobday and 0/0 is my beer of the week in today’s @dailystar.co.uk
