'Psycho Keller', qu'est-ce que c'est? Well, seeing as you ask, it's an unfiltered amber lager from Newbarns X Donzoko, on tap at @donzokobeer.bsky.social. Oh, and it's excellent 👌. Prost! 🍻 #BskyBeer

Born of the coast • Hartlepool? Molson Coors has agreed heads of terms with Camerons Brewery as its preferred brewing partner for key Sharp's cask ale brands. (via Propel)
Text: Molson Coors confirms Sharp's Brewery will close by end of year:
US brewing firm Molson Coors has confirmed that Sharp's Brewery in Cornwall will close by the end of the year, with up to 40 jobs expected to be lost. In February, Molson Coors said it was proposing to shut Sharp's Brewery in Rock because the site was "no longer financially sustainable".

Molson Coors said production at the brewery, which produces Doom Bar, will cease in December following the conclusion of a consultation process launched earlier this year. The company said every alternative option had been considered but concluded the site was no longer financially sustainable as part of its national brewing network. 

Since acquiring Sharp's in 2011, Molson Coors said it had invested more than £20m in the brewery, expanding production capacity, upgrading equipment and supporting the development of the company's brand portfolio. However, the company said changing consumer tastes and ongoing challenges facing the cask ale market had contributed to the decision. 

The brewery's closure will mark the end of brewing operations at the Rock site, although Molson Coors said it is exploring a potential sale of the premises. The company has agreed heads of terms with Camerons Brewery as its preferred brewing partner for key Sharp's cask ale brands.

The idea of using my kegs as a cloche hadn't occured to me prior to today, but is the idea that drinking beer ( Frontaal Juice Punch ) can indirectly help banana plants grow, bananas? Thankyou @cafeamsterdamwb.bsky.social for the empty KeyKegs!

For those of you who remember Jarrow Brewery (and their pubs including The Maltings, Magnesia Bank & The Isis), Jess McConnell has died. 📷: via Shields Gazette (we’ve not shared the link to save you from all of their really annoying pop-up ads)
A photo of Jess McConnell behind the pumps in a Jarrow Brewery pub.

Text underneath reads: Jess McConnell, whose death was confirmed in a Facebook post by his daughter, shook up the local industry after buying the then derelict Robin Hood boozer in Jarrow.
