Blogging and commenting about beer for quite a while.
Due to a failed train in front of us, looks like a hour late arrival at Euston. Boo.
No THT today. Off to that London tomorrow, so gardening and packing. Touch of class for today's first drinks.
On my way to meet @fullersjohn.bsky.social and @totalcurtis.bsky.social for a spot of lunch. Hot here! Looking forward to a pint of Holt's Bitter.
It is beer o' clock at Tandleman Towers.This Lidl offering is decent and brewed in Germany.
Sainsbury's making a serious German effort. Mix and match4 for 3.
Celebrating Scotland 🏴 win with decent beer on our deck. Hot and sunny.
Lovely here in Trogir. Very Venetian. This beauty keeping me company.
@totalcurtis.bsky.social Taken your advice. Beer superb. Freeze a yak in here though. 😉
There is quite a story behind this fantastic beer. Your hero, Tandleman is pictured on the can. Zoom in. If you want the story I can send a link, but you need to ask as I'd have to get off my arse otherwise.
Yours truly with Michael Lees-Jones of JW Lees and our esteemed Deputy Chairman Mike Robinson at a GBG presentation at the Cross Keys Uppermill yesterday.
Fab night at our CAMRA Rochdale, Oldham and Bury branch meeting last night. Our guest speaker @totalcurtis.bsky.social went down a storm and flogged all his stock of books. Come again anytime Matt.
The mile uphill is rewarded with pint of Lees Brewers Dark. Previously GB Mild this is a former Champion Mild of Britain
I haven't looked at my blog stats for yonks. Great to see I have more Brazilian readers (over three times as much) than the UK. A big shout-out to my Iraqui and Vietnamese pals who also pip the UK. India, Germany and Bangladesh also equalling the UK. Come on UK. Get a grip.
Lunchtime pint. You could never mistake this for a Northern beer, but really quite good. Tring Sunshine.
Drinking tea and getting ready to head for St Albans and the CAMRA Members Weekend. Should be fun.
Cask mild in the Tavern again. Lees Brewer's Dark. In GBG condition.
@totalcurtis.bsky.social in full flow at his new book launch last night. It is highly recommended. A great piece of work.
There's a great piece of analytic beer writing by @petebrownbeer.bsky.social in the Morning Advertiser about the demise of BrewDog. Recommended. Sums the whole thing up so well.
