Brewing IPAs like its 2014. Such a curious and unique hop and it's worked out well here, I think. Replaced the hot side Chinook and Columbus dry hop with Sorachi, keeping the Citra, Simcoe and Mosaic for balance.

There you are, enjoying your DuoLingo lesson and feeling vaguely competent, then this guy appears. Fuck this guy. Nobody is ever ready for hard mode. Let us have our fun!
Have yourselves a great long weekend my friends 👊🏽🍻…starting on the best #beer coast in the exceptional hands of @elusivebrewing.com and @tabamatu.bsky.social #bskybeer
Interesting as always from Matt. I wonder how much the resurgence in cask has been fuelled by the globals pulling back from mass production, creating space on the bar for heritage brands like Bass, Boddingtons and output from smaller breweries.
Matthew Curtis@totalcurtis.bsky.social · 6mo agoDid BrewDog put cask beer back a decade? Here’s my latest for @whatsbrewing.bsky.social. wb.camra.org.uk/2026/04/10/d...
You bet I'm filing a business rates check case on the actual deadline date. It's what deadlines are for, innit!?
We're having a clear out and I found my old Acer Aspire One Netbook - remember netbooks? Far too small to do much work on but looked pretty cool. Anyway, it powered on without a glitch. Windows 7 even awoke from sleep mode and was still showing and old work presentation! (pic nicked from eBay)
Fuel costs to consumers always rise immediately when there's any kind of market event that increases crude prices but can take months to go down again when they recover. Funny, that. Those poor global oil companies with their tight margins and slim profits!
Watching Masterchef with bingo card at the ready. A tuile, giroles, stuffed courgette flower, samphire, pancetta, raviolo (single) and and any kind of puree required for a full house.
Message from Mum - “I AM CANCER FREE”. We always have hope. Sometimes it’s all we have. Never stop hoping and believing things can get better.
We ditched our home landline years ago, as 99% of the calls were spam. Family and friends had our mobile numbers. I'm now at the stage where our business one is 99% spam too (and thus impacts productivity) and considering ditching that, or just diverting it permanently to voicemail.
We hope everyone had a great Christmas! We're back open today with some nice fresh beers, including the award winning Oregon Trail West Coast IPA on cask by @elusivebrewing.com Grab a roll with it as well, you can't get better than that! 🍻
Me receiving "pricing update" emails knowing without reading even them that whatever it is ain't going down.

Hanging out in a bar in the CA Central Coast where the bartender keeps cancelling juke box selections to play more Paramore. Yes! (Long Island Iced Tea for effect)

One of my favourite days of the year tomorrow as we judge our birthday home brewing competition. Good luck if you've entered! Results will be posted from Elusive socials, probably around 5pm! :)
Today has been tough - waking up to news that one of my old classmates couldn’t face life any more. Please, no replies (I’m honestly fine) but I pray others can find the strength talk to folk if they’re struggling, no matter how hard that first step is x
QCing the batch of OT we’re sending to the CBoB final. I don’t know what else we can do with this beer. This batch is pure OT. We’re firing our absolute best shot and hoping for the best. That’s all we can do. To even be in the mix a brewing career highlight!
