Cheers all 🍻. Btw this isn't my first of the day 😄, maybe 4th beer 🤔

Chorley FC 1 v 1 Worcester City. Another very difficult away game for us but we got a 93min equaliser 🥳 so will be in the hat for the 1st Rd Proper on Monday. Hey @beerbiker.bsky.social Leatherhead 3 v 3 Yeovil Town sounded a great game, all goals in the 2nd half and you were 0-2 at one point 🥳
Put in an order from Fuerst Wiacek last week, first outta the fridge is this. So let's get this Saturday started, cheers all 🍻.
We (Vangelis, Kostas, Vaso and Loz) finished up at a great little Kneipe in Schwabing yesterday. Called the Pils Doktor this would be right up European Bar guides Straße. Down to earth, super friendly, small and cosy place. Btw if you order a schnaps a little model train brings it to your table 😄
Another day another Bayern brewery (yesterday). This time it's in München in the upmarket Schwarbing district. Beers were all decent enough. It's a bit too fancy for me, e.g. we could only have the table for two hours & then it was reserved for someone else. Food good, but again a tad pricey.
If one is struggling to find there way back to the Fasangarten S-Bahn station, München there's a very subtle landmark of what appears to be a mobile phone mast sticking out of the roof of this residential property 😄 and yes I promise you that actually is through the roof and not simply behind.
Another day another Bayern brewery. Our first ever visit to Hoenthanner brewery & tap opposite , just north of Landshut, they're letting us stay overnight in Frank in the carpark. I think that some of you will have the Festbier in your Lidl boxes, I'm drinking this now on draft. Cheers all 🍻
A year ago yesterday I met up with the legend that is Keef @tigger2017.bsky.social in Stockport and btw not forgetting Carl, cheers both 🍻 and there's my dad getting in on the act 😀.
I'm a little sad that the Zoigl chapter of my Bavarian beer adventure has come to an end. But it's okay because I'm currently in Regensburg, where the local Export Dunkel is going down nicely.
Second beer tonight in Frank at Plattling, bloody Nora 🤪 I honestly didn't realise this was 11.5%, okay that's the last one for tonight, good night all 😄.
Cold 🥶 outside today 1c , forgot my headphones 🎧 which also serve a dual purpose of keeping my ears warm
There's a new issue (Viz 360) in the shops. Sorry no refunds.
Caught the train up from Birmingham to the Red Lion in Erdington, mainly to see the magnificent ceramic bar counter. It was made for the pub by Craven Dunnill in 1899 and it's one of only 14 left in the UK. I think I have a photo of most of them now so maybe it's time to get them together in a post!
More Zoigl-ing today in the Oberpfalz. I'm not sure how it has taken 10 years of living in Germany for me to visit this region.
Really liking this Yorkshire Stingo by Northern Monk, great stuff 🍻 cheers all 🍻.
For long time attendees at non league football games it remains a strange sensation to turn onto the road to the ground at 2.15 and see a few others doing the same. Long may it continue
What a great combination Oerbier Reserva Special Reserva 2024 aged in Priorat casks with Oerbier Pâté. At De Dolle Brouwers.
An 8.0% DIPA from Lieber Waldi X Buddelship - Two Worlds. Cheers all 🍻
Very much enjoyed my first cask conditioned real ale in Seoul, South Korea. Joe, the brewery owner at Ashtree brewery, used to work at Redemption and Partizan and we spent time in Belgium together about a decade ago. Was in tip top condition, obvs!
I started with a Lübzer Urkraft it was fine but soon now onto something a bit better. Cheers all 🍻
Okay working week finished, first beer 🍺 of the night, cheers all 🍻.
Large order arrived in 24 hrs from Beyond Beer webshop Hamburg. About half are destined to travel with us to Kykao brewery, Patras, Greece to share with Kostas & colleagues next month. Also stocked up Jaipur & + 4-5 other Thornbridge & a couple more for Loz's advent calendar. Cheers all 🍻
Decided to have a cheeky little beer at the top of the garden. After tomorrow it looks like the weather will drop to single digits during the day and rain forecast Thurs-Sun so making the most of what might be the last of this sunny ☀️😎 warm'ish' weather. Cheers all 🍻
We had a busy day pressing apples yesterday, but it was a lovely day, we smoked some ribs as well. I think that we got about 15 litres of juice.
Outstanding sunny/partly misty canal scenes this morning. This was near Moerkerke on the Leopoldkanaal, about 11km outside Brugge.
A glass of triple extra blonde? Why wouldn't you in the Gnome 🥰👌#BskyBeer
Next up is a new beer to me, Lemon Carl from Wittmann brewery in Landshut. Cheers all 🍻
Nice brunch earlier cooked in the wood oven, lovely day here today.
