I’m seeing this across both all my garden and ALL the wild hedge plants in my area. Is this an environmental stress response e.g ‘complete monoecious shift (hermaphroditism)‘ driven by heat and drought? #hops #beer #drinks

Fab! Well done guys!

Autism isn’t a disorder. It’s a way of being in a world that wasn’t made for us. We don’t need fixing. We just need to be understood. 2/2

Absolutely massive hedge #hops this year. Wowzer!

It’s an incredible year for just about every feral/wild #harvest in #Kent including #hops! @beernouveau.co.uk thinks we are close to ‘ripe’. What does #bsky #Beer think? @solebear-adnams.bsky.social

The #SupremeCourt ruling on the definition of a woman is a massive step backward for a British society blinkered to imminent threats and yet obsessed with denying dignity, agency and respect to a small percentage of the population. #transrightsarehumanrights #FuckTerfs

Day 1 of the sparkler themed #tasting. Gravity is clearly ahead yet everyone is different. That’s always a prominent aspect of Discovery Bar tastings. There are no wrong answers, only personal preferences. The Discovery Bar exists to help people hone or figure out what their preferences are.

@camraofficial.bsky.social Member’s Weekend preparing for a Discovery Bar sparkler taste off with Summerskills Devon Dew Pale. We have: gravity, hand pull (no sparkler), 1mm, flat and creamer sparklers. 5 pours from the same firkin and scores on the board of what folk prefer. #beer #ale

7am. 10hrs sleep in the last 48hrs. 1 day off in the last fortnight. 😴Finally finished my Diploma in Digital Learning Design assessments. I’m now off to @camraofficial.bsky.social members weekend to demo the Discovery Bar via a tasting of Summerskills Devon Dew pulled through 4 different sparklers!

Holy Helles! What an awesome collab @lostandgrounded.bsky.social

A 5-yr-old burned to death in a sealed glass coffin of pressurized oxygen that an “alternative medicine” wellness center claimed could treat his ADHD. This was a cash business providing unapproved therapies. There is no evidence to support hyperbaric for ADHD; there’s not even a plausible mechanism.

#SOS / #Help Is there a #Union for someone in my field: commissioning #editor of online #content, executive producer of #documentaries, YouTube channel manager. I have a long running issue that is grinding me down to the point where I could really do with some guidance and support on how to cope.

350 Rabbis took out a full page ad in the NYTimes today opposing Trump’s plan for Palestine and calling it ethnic cleansing.

Had an absolute blast with the Radio City Beer Works guys yesterday on the @camraofficial.bsky.social #DiscoveryBar Lots of love for their beers from festival goers. Honoured to have their first ever cask pouring (a stout) which went down a storm! 🔥🫶🍻👏
