I've just guaranteed cloud and rain for the rest of the year. We signed a contract for solar panels today.
Sean The Brewer
@seanayling.bsky.social
A rare breed, a brewer without facial hair or tattoos. Procurer of the finest hangovers known to humankind. Mostly harmless. Bacon improves most situations.
I attended a Lughnasadh/Lammas festival at my local brewery. The symbolism couldn't be more apt. Beer is made from grain (barley), and many of us also brought bread (wheat). I contributed a panzanella and a bottle of Lindisfarne mead. Everyone came together and all our spirits were lifted. 🌾🥖🍻
No isinglass, no sparkler. Just good brewing, good packaging and fantastic cellaring.
Back to earth with a bump, just about to go and package beer, clean tanks and cover a bar shift. That will teach me for having a night off.
Gone to a gig not in my pub with money I paid for out of my own bank account. Thank you all for paying your invoices. ❤️
Long day requires a big breakfast. Two beers to package, three tanks to clean and a gig in Manchester this evening.
Very good point. Basically exhibition cricket with no local connection

@madamegothica.bsky.social Happy birthday to one of my favourite bluebs. There'll be cake, right?
Manchester, Stockport, Macclesfield, Leek, Congleton and Sandbach. Get those orders in please.
@tomstapandbrew.bsky.social · 2w agoBeer run next week!
Just been asked to measure the telly, so I've measured it. Diagonally as you do. Jacqui, the person with zero spatial awareness, is arguing that I've measured it wrong but won't get off her arse to measure it herself. I fucking despair.
Off to Gloucestershire tomorrow for a couple of days including a wedding. Am obviously taking beer. That'll offset the diesel cost
Getting home from a 13 hour shift to this is marvellous. Getting told I need to crack on with next month's staff rota is less so.
Slightly later start incoming today. Been full on week and I've got cleaning and cask tetris to do in the brewery before I open the bar. So a coffee in the garden before steak and eggs for breakfast is the way to go.
My day started with a cup of tea in the early morning sun and a boob flash from the bedroom window from my wife. I quite enjoyed that.
Made beer, please place your orders, cask and keg. packaging in two weeks
