Looking forward to enjoying some autumn sunshine and a pint. We'll be open 2-8pm both Saturday and Sunday this weekend and there's some really fresh amber ale in cask, as well as pale ale and lager on the bar.

2026 has likely finished with 85 days exceeding 25C at #London Heathrow Airport this is a staggering 25 days above next highest year, 2018. We've never known anything like it.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

Meet Backpack, your 2026 Fat Bear Week champion. Backpack is 20 years old, weighs about 1,000 pounds and got his nickname because, as a cub, he loved riding on his mom's back across the Brooks River.

Today you can find us at Brixton Windmill Harvest Festival, 1-5pm. You can enjoy a beer with some great food, live music, workshops, arts and crafts, and more. Our taproom is closed for the day, so join us for a pint in the park!

Somehow missed the start and just found out that one of the best weeks of the year is already half way through, but there's still time to get involved in the last rounds of Fat Bear Week: katmaiconservancy.org

This Sunday you can find us pouring the beers at Brixton Windmill Harvest Festival, 1-5pm. There's going to be live music, arts and crafts, kids' activities and more. Join us for a final pint in a local park for this year and celebrate the season.

This weekend we'll have the first of our seasonal special green hop beers available at our taproom. We've brewed just 20 litres of Hopdodger IPA using fresh hops foraged from Kent by one of our lovely regulars who also helped out with the brew. Get yourself a pint while it lasts!

Number of 25C days each year at #London Heathrow from 1949 we see 2026 with 82 days is far exceeding all historical precedent. The former record year 2018 now eclipsed by 20 days and we're not done either. Remarkable year.

Summer's back, at least for the weekend. We've got tables in the sunshine and cold beers available 2-8pm Saturday and Sunday.

It may be a rainy start to the Bank Holiday weekend, but you can still enjoy a beer inside our taproom. Hopefully tomorrow the outdoor seats will be back in the sun. We're open our usual hours, 2-8pm Saturday & Sunday, closed Monday.

Looks like there’s an absolutely massively fire in London at one of the recycling centres near Millwall’s ground… again.

this is why Viz is so good. they take the time to get the details right, as in this panel from The Real Ale Twats where they actually bothered to research historical malt mashing techniques (cc @totalcurtis.bsky.social )

Don't worry too much if you did badly in your A-levels, things could always be worse. For example you could have done badly in your A-levels and also have to drink beer from Jeremy Clarkson's brewery.

DID you know that for the 1999 total solar eclipse, Roger Ryman, recently appointed head brewer at St. Austell in Cornwall brewed a one-off special beer called Daylight Robbery? Anyway, it was so popular it was brewed again, and they called it Tribute. Now you do know!

Unfortunately, our taproom will be closed for the weekend of 8th & 9th August due to a road closure. We'll be back to business as usual (Saturdays & Sundays 2-8pm) from next weekend.

In fifteen years, the UK has deleted coal power from their power system, halved fossil gas use, replaced most of that with wind and solar, and the country has not suffered the hellish blackout apocalypse conservatives and media outlets promised would happen. ember-energy.org/data/electri...

Today experienced the 24th day of year hitting 30C in London. For perspective in whole of 1980s we had 21 days.

Was hoping for the crossover event of the decade wherein - when football DID finally come home - it found a bunch of other sports attempting to shag Mrs. Football and so had to disguise itself as a lowly beggar to partake in (and win) an archery contest. Football then murders all the other sports

"Ich fedde thys nightmare hounde all the bookes from everye librarye. It hath everye stolen storye burblinge ynside. And it doth befoul all pooles from which it drinketh. Arounde it are waste, and stynke, and noyses that keepe folk up at nighte. Why do you not want to take the hounde for a walke?"

It's less than 26 degrees inside! I may stay up all night to enjoy this strange sensation.

Apropos of nothing I'm starting an occasional thread on the importance of Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, to the story of human evolution. Its one of the most important Palaeolithic landscapes in Europe and we should celebrate that fact a lot more. Look out for updates #ClactonPrehistory 🏺🦣
