Today I learned that if I can be bothered then I can actually walk to the Beer Merchants Tap. Turns out I actually can be goal oriented (depending on the goal). Lovely Hofbrau Oktoberfest beer (and no, not going near the London one.......).

So due to poor life choices/planning (and I'm including watching Liverpool v Forest) am at a loose end this afternoon. Any inspirations on taprooms or pubs or tap takeovers today? I'm actually stumped.

🍺 In a recent blog post (boakandbailey.com/2026/08/why-...), @boakandbailey.bsky.social asked what a “bad pub” was. My definition of a “bad pub” is this from @totalcurtis.bsky.social’s piece. Govt help for pubs is welcome, but if it only delays the inevitable, is it a wise use of limited money?
“I think [the new policy] is a good thing, but all it really does is buy extra breathing room,” Brearly says. “The government cannot force economic viability onto a pub that’s not economically viable”

So I may have been binging Slow Horses (I know, took me long enough) and realised I've been waking past the Slough House stairs pretty regularly.......

The hill I will die on: Marmite is an insipid English imitation of Vegemite – the true Aussie hero | Kathy Lette
Marmite asks: ‘Do you love me or hate me?’ Vegemite couldn’t give a stuff. It’s as dry as our Aussie humour, and I wouldn’t have it any other way, says comedy writer Kathy Lette

I'm not even going to pretend this was an "accident"......there was a brief window of opportunity to detour past @cloudwaterbrew.bsky.social so rude not to on Chubbles day. Cask Chubbles was totally worth it.

So I may have just missed a Lizzie Line train east so obviously the sensible the to do was walk to the @thedodomicropub.bsky.social for a swift Amundsen 12th birthday peanut butter / chocolate/ vanilla imperial stout..... There's worse ways to spend a Saturday.
