We are celebrating surviving the last few days of fiery hell by hooking up @torrside.bsky.social Dark Corridors. This fella won champion beer at the recent Stockport Beer and Cider Festival #bskybeer

Staying at Steelfish. This collab between @steelfishbrewco.bsky.social and @torrside.bsky.social was brewed just over a year ago. This is the last ever cask and it really is superb and has kept a huge amount of resiny hoppiness. Dangerously drinkable.

2/ He's particularly looking forward to Pangoltergeist from Tartarus Beers; they really know how to pack flavour, this'll be no exception. Finally, I'm Not Spartacus, from @torrside.bsky.social; a new take on their flagship IPA, we're sure it'll be fab. Do you like black IPAs? 🖤 #BeerSky

Smoke Desk report - Successes : Monster Munch (pickled onion) / hickory smoke Greggs Sausage roll / beech smoke Profiteroles / cherry smoke Blue cheese / oak smoke Assorted confectionery / any smoke Rice crispie cakes / maple smoke Unconvincing: Apple slices Crab roe flavour broad beans
