A great MCB meeting last w/e in Derby. Our challenge was to brew a clone of Jaipur. We slipped in the real thing as an entry too...good job the real @thornbridge.bsky.social Jaipur won🤣 Congrats to Aaron who gets to brew the real thing with Thornbridge as his beer scoring 41 won the member's comp

Congratulations to Aaron Guffick, winner of the Midlands Craft Brewers competition to brew a beer as close to Jaipur as possible 🍻 With a score of 41/50, Aaron’s homebrew came remarkably close to the real thing👏

Madra Salach Absolutely fkn love them! They’re touring right now, and they’re fantastic live - especially in those small venues. Go see them before they start doing stadiums and shit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=djCJ...

I hadn't looked as forward to a first time gig in a very long time as I did tonight and Madra Salach in Brum tonight did not let me down. Just brilliant. These fellas are gonna be huge.

A cracking MCB meeting at the Tamworth Tap today talking Rye beers. Plenty of members beers for tasting too. You can always tell a good pub when punters are queueing out the front door!

On the first day of March it was raining... youtu.be/XQKETnoQQKY?...

Long day yesterday, but a good day. My attempt at an homage to @kernelbrewery.bsky.social Export India Porter hopped with Columbus and Centennial hops entered as an American Porter in yesterday's UK National Homebrew comp in Bristol, despite being slightly out of style did pretty well ☺️ #homebrew

After #115 brews, time for a Roggenbier brew today for next month's @midscraftbrew.bsky.social meeting where we'll be looking at rye beers. #homebrew #homebrewing

Thanks to the Jewellers Arms in Brum for hosting our mtg yesterday. Some excellent members ' beers...incl amongst others a superb Old Ale & Weizenbock, a lovely tart lemony Gose & a Belgian Dark Strong. Our next mtg is early Feb when we are back at the fantastic @burtonbridgeinn.bsky.social

💥Happy with that. Second place in the Euro Sour Ales category in Norwich Amateur Brewers Steinmasters homebrew comp today. Straight Goses are rarely seen in UK. #gose #homebrew

Big thanks to Cask & Craft in Boldmere, Sutton Coldfield for hosting our meeting yesterday. Some great members'beers as well cracking beers on the bar.

Very happy with my second place in the IPAs category with my WC IPA at the @beerboars.bsky.social West Coast Best Coast homebrew competition today. I present you Occularly Challenged Swine

Cracking day at @BlackIrisBrewer . So many good beers. All members 6%+ ! Not a bad beer amongst them

Cracking show from the Pogues & co tonight. Lisa O'Neill was wonderful on Rainy Night in Soho a Daragh Lynch nailed Streams Of Whiskey...just the 40 years since my first Pogues gig.

No pics, no vids...just Doves tonight in Brum Institute and they were brilliant. That is all.

I've started adding a list of Homebrew clubs from Britain & Ireland. Shout them up as more clubs appear in this place and I'll add them. #homebrew bsky.app/profile/did:...

Great job by MCB members in yesterday's UK National Homebrew Comp. Almost cleared up on this table. www.nationalhomebrewcompetition.org.uk

The Pogues and guests were amazing in Dublin tonight 😎 This is Ian Lynch (Lankum) on vocals 🎉😎

It really was 1hr & 40 mins of Doves greatest hits. Pretty much nailed it.

Huge thanks to Al & Emma for showing us round, talking about the history and discussing a few of their future plans for Burton Bridge Brewery

Looking forward to being back here on Saturday with @midscraftbrew.bsky.social to have a look at the Burton Bridge Brewery.

An enjoyable evening listening to @tabamatu.bsky.social about his journey from home brewing to setting up @elusivebrewing.com at the Burton Bridge Inn. His book with Jamil Zainasheff , The Modern Homebrewer is recommended reading. It's full of up to date advice on brewing quality beers at home.

Fontaines D.C best band in the world!

Well that was good @fontainesdc.bsky.social

Kneecap so good tonight in Manchester tonight. Shame the downing of several bottles of Bucky is no longer part of the set.
