@marcusbrent.bsky.social @brentaidan.bsky.social I first drank Tipopils draft in Rome 10 years ago & realised why it's so highly praised. I had a couple of bottles earlier this year & they were wonderful. Great @atjbeer.bsky.social article as ever.

Tipopils is 30 years old. Can you believe that? A beer that special deserves the @atjbeer.bsky.social treatment, so that's what we gave it. With original art by Dionne Kitching. www.pelliclemag.com/home/2026/7/...

Imagine getting an email from @atjbeer.bsky.social saying they’d like to write a couple of thousand words on Tipopils in its 30th year, and not only being able to commission it, but pay them fairly, and hire an artist to hand draw accompanying illustrations. What a privilege.

When it comes to modern beer culture in the UK there has been a prevailing narrative that its been concentrated in cities and larger downs. While Glynde isn't unique, it is a great piece of evidence demonstrating how smaller pubs and indie breweries can exist in such places. It's a fab little scene.
