IrishBeerHistory@beerfoodtravel.bsky.social · 9mo agoA reminder that this is on tomorrow. Please go and support Christina and try Trouble and ours not-18th-century porters. I'd attend, but if two Irish beer history people appear anywhere together it causes a portal in the beer-time continuum and John Smithwick jumps out waving a recipe for red ale ...
LOST APPLE 'RYMER' REDISCOVERED! Thanks to amazing sleuthing by Stephen Ainsleigh Rice in England and Gary Sully in Australia, this wonderful cooking apple has been confirmed rediscovered. Believed lost for nearly 100 years, DNA testing shows it was a grandparent of Bramley. 1/3
I'm drinking cider from a 1900 half pint silver-plated pub mug. And it makes the mug looked gilded inside.

There aren’t many outlets that post such regular content dedicated to cider. And though we only publish once a week this year (last year was a blistering twice a week), I’m proud of the coverage we give. We don’t get mentioned much on socials or beer sites, but if you like this kind of content… 🙂

@barmas.bsky.social Do you remember that conversation we had on Twitter a couple of years ago, about an engraving of a. 18th century London tavern, selling Redstreak cider? We've found a painted version!
Just back on Bluesky after forgetting about it for many months. What did I miss?

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance. Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.
What a day. Giving the keynote speech at the biggest cider maker’s conference in Britain was not something that I’d ever envisaged doing. So thank you to @3ccpa.bsky.social for inviting me. The cider community here is just so open and welcoming. Failed to take photos of my talk 😁
New episode! It was enlightening to speak with @bamcshane.bsky.social about the lives and experiences of Irish women religious and the impact of the dissolution of the monasteries. A must-listen episode for anyone interested in early modern women. Tune in! talkingtudors.podbean.com
Yesterday, President Trump issued an executive order that attempts to dictate what history is shared at the Smithsonian Institution and National Park Service sites. Read our statement on this political interference in the practice of history.

You know when you're attending something good when you completely forget to take photos. #Craftcon was superbly organised: well done Three Counties Cider and Perry Association!! What a programme. And it was so good to be able to do a talk at it for the museum, on Cider brandy.
Arresting Quaker women for non-violent protest and breaking into a meeting house to do so. The first time anyone has been arrested in a meeting house in living memory. Despicable behaviour from a Labour government’s Home Office/the Met Police.

I bought this sherry cask (very reasonably) for a display at the Museum, but can't find an accurate date for it. 1930s- 1960?

This was a welcome surprise whilst walking along a canal bank near Thrupp.
