Yes! Love a witbier and always enjoyed it when we made them at the brewery. Likewise, now pretty happy when Neil & Laura get them in for the pubs 🍻

Rob Jones was a good friend of a lot of our regulars here so we thought it was only appropriate to hook @downlandsbrewery.bsky.social Revival APA. Feel free to come and sink a few of these and raise a glass to Rob #bskybeer
Every now and again a beer comes onto the bar that causes quite a bit of discussion in the pub. From peoples beer of the day/week/year to "it's not really a mild but it's delicious" not a lot hasn't been said about it over the weekend. Still a tiny bit left if you are feeling curious 👑🍻 #bskybeer
Looking forward to reading all this, particularly as I'm a big black beer drinker 🍻 @drinkingstudies.bsky.social your members might be interested in this 👍🏻

She Drinks Beer at The Good Measure was fun last night - some regulars, some newbies, a potential new brewer for Bristol! We talked about that other big male-dominated arena - record collecting and djing - as well as more on the supreme court ruling on transgender people. A good evening 💛🍻🙌🏻
