After a few days of excessive calorie burning, time for a pint of Vocation's "Heart and Soul", supported by steak frites, haggis, and onion rings. I really recommend The Old Nag's Head in Edale for beer and grub. #BskyBeer

Pint of Nags 1577 at the Old Nag's Head. Another Theakston brew, done for the pub. Properly rich dark beer. #BskyBeer

After yesterday's pint of Kinder Downfall, it made sense to walk there today and take a picture of the real thing.

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

Pint of Kinder Downfall, which is brewed by Theakston - I had no idea. In The Old Nag's Head as part of my new ritual (for one more night). A good beer with a bitter finish. #BskyBeer

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

Back in the Rambler's for a pint of Timothy Taylor's Landlord. Fairly decent, but the least impressive beer I've had this week. #BskyBeer

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

A run today, 18k altogether (watch had a fit towards the end). I appear to have broken a tooth, so for medicinal purposes only, a classic pint of Theakston OP in the Old Hall Hotel, Hope. #BskyBeer

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

The first pub I saw in Hathersage had a picture of Jeremy Clarkson promoting his lager as "soup of the day", so I gave it a massive swerve and opted for the train. Back in Edale, having my first ever pint of cask Vocation, "Bread and Butter". Another cracking pint at The Ramblers . #BskyBeer

After a bit of a walk, I'm replenishing lost calories at the Outside cafe, which is inside Outside outdoors shop in Hathersage. Very reasonably priced, fantastic sausages. Now to find a boozer before getting the train back to Edale.

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

The pub crawl continues (there's only the two pubs). Another @abbeydalebeers.bsky.social , this time "Deception". Both have been great, this served at The Rambler Inn. When did people start queuing at bars like they're waiting for a checkout? Weird. #BskyBeer

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Solo trip to the Peaks. Just arrived in Edale, so having set the tent up I've gone for a recce. @abbeydalebeers.bsky.social Moonshine, fresh on at The Old Nags Head. #BskyBeer

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

After a few beers throughout the day, time to hit the fizzy water I nicked from the hotel. Panda Bear and Sonic Boom, "Reset".

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Effortlessly (?😂) matching my beer cans with album sleeves. Lovely sour from Three Legs, accompanied by Spacemen 3, "Recurring". #BskyBeer

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Music evening with Mrs P as Jack is in Rome with school. After Fuckin' Whatever and Eurythmics, now on Pavement "Slanted and Enchanted". Still on the same beer from Three Legs. Benefits of afternoon drinking. #BskyBeer

081

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Having a drink in London, to get us used to paying London prices for drinks. Start of a Gourmaze mooch, where you follow clues to boozers for scran. Hoping my Verdant Lightbulb will give me some bright ideas. Mrs P on cider. The Crown & Sceptre is a pretty decent pub.

040

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Day off tomorrow, so I'm watching "Becoming Led Zeppelin" and drinking "Mean As" DDH NZ IPA from St Ives. Both are highly recommended. #BskyBeer

1112

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Another from Morrison's, "House IPA" from Dugges of Sweden. Quite subtle up front, bitter on the back, with a smooth mouth-feel from the oats. #BskyBeer

081

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Morrison's have upped their beer game once more. Polly's "Beginning Futures" is a pretty decent DDH pale, part of the "4 for 3" offer. #BskyBeer

0171

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

A lively little bugger, from Three Legs. NEIPA with Mosaic and Riwaka. All the NEIPA flavours, with lime on the back end. A cracking beer. #BskyBeer

1181

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I'm opening the evening with "Oatipa: Sabro" from Three Legs. The oats round it off nicely, smoothing the coconut so it becomes a hint rather than overbearing. Good stuff. #BskyBeer

0111

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Onto a sour now, and this is excellent. "Gary" guava & lime from Three Legs. The lime is up front, with the guava playing in the background. Top quality (unlike the photo). #BskyBeer

0191

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I'm on the train tomorrow, so can enjoy a couple of beers today. Back on the Three Legs, for "Sesh" session IPA. A good way to wind down the weekend. #BskyBeer

0151

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

"Zwickl" keller lager from Three Legs. A cracking beer. #BskyBeer

0141

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

This is really impressive. It's only slightly stronger than "Offa", but feels really smooth and pleasantly rounded. My favourite from Three Legs so far, "King Offa". #BskyBeer

0172

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Testing my hypothesis on the last beer. Not sure I was entirely correct, but any excuse for a Chouffe. #BskyBeer

0130

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

"Offa" land beer from Three Legs. Apparently not a "land beer" in the German sense, more of a golden pale which puts me in mind of softer Belgian beers. (Think a dialled-down Chouffe.) Very nice. #BskyBeer

0160

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

My first from Three Legs, a NZ pale featuring Rakau and Nectaron hops. More bitterness than I was expecting, but it grows on you. Good start. #BskyBeer

1130

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Got my Brewser case today, from Three Legs Brewing. Completely new to me, but looks like a great range- a couple of sours, some interesting pales, what I guess is their flagship "Offa" land beer, and an unfiltered lager. Really well packaged to boot! In the fridge for tomorrow... #BskyBeer

0112

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Timmermans brews are now in Morrison's. This is lovely, with the black pepper coming through pleasantly on the back end. Feels like a bargain. #BskyBeer

0140

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

"Fieldfare" from @thornbridge.bsky.social . Proper hazy IPA, which tastes both as you'd expect and also surprisingly original. A really good entry in what sometimes feels like a crowded field. #BskyBeer

0110

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

This is excellent, "Black Mountain" black session IPA from @thornbridge.bsky.social Retains that lovely frothy head and tastes at least as good as it looks #BskyBeer

2251

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Smooth, with an almost umami profile if that makes sense. Really satisfying. "Zehn" from @thornbridge.bsky.social getting a zehn fon zehn von mir. #BskyBeer

0150

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

"Every Minute Matters" is an apt name for a bank holiday Sunday beer. From @sirencraftbrew.bsky.social , this has a much lighter feel than I was expecting. Lovely beer. #BskyBeer

0101

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

It's lovely. And because you're here, you can have a picture of the priory a couple of miles from the brewery. X

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

It's a bank holiday tomorrow, so I'm cracking this to celebrate. "Vermillion Sky" dark cherry sour, from @durationbeer.bsky.social . Aged for 3 years but hits with freshness. Incredible beer. #BskyBeer

161

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

From @durationbeer.bsky.social and Polly's, "Rockin' Chairs" west coast pale. Piney and bright. #BskyBeer

1172

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

As you'd expect from Vault City, the flavours are spot on. Doesn't smell great initially, but tastes superb. "Cherry Cola Float" sour. #BskyBeer

1261

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

"Turtles All the Way Down" from @durationbeer.bsky.social . I enjoyed a pint of this at The Stag, 500 yards from the brewery. Still great in cans. #BskyBeer

0171

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

From @kernelbrewery.bsky.social and @durationbeer.bsky.social , Rice Lager. Fresh, crisp, with a hint of green apple. Excellent. #BskyBeer

0130

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

From my @durationbeer.bsky.social stash, "Crisps" extra extra pale ale. A perverse pleasure, featuring a touch of MSG for tasty giggles. A bonkers and fab collaboration with Five Points. #BskyBeer

0111

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

As if by magic, we're staying 3 miles from @durationbeer.bsky.social . Lovely walk there, a top-up of beers (and a t-shirt) from the friendly shop, a visit to The Stag for lunch (and Duration beers), and a walk home. A great day!

091

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Absolutely brilliant from Jump Ship, "Motueka IPA". Tropical fruit and lime from the hops, an outstanding AF beer. I believe all of their beers are gluten free as well. Cracking stuff. #BskyBeer

0201

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Yardarm AF lager from Jump Ship. Hoppy and crisp, a cracking start to the evening. #BskyBeer

1141

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

I picked up a mixed case of Jump Ship AF beers via Brewser. I really enjoyed Jump Ship when I tried them a couple of years ago, but this selection looks like a giant leap forward. I'll review them as I go on, but right now I'm blown away! #BskyBeer

081

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Enjoying an unfiltered AF pilsner from @teamutopian.bsky.social whilst cooking dinner. Really tasty. Bizarrely, I'm thinking I need to get a couple in the fridge for after my next ultra. #BskyBeer

0241

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Real "man of the people" vibes from Farage et al. The "event" took place in his constituency, but about as far from Clacton (and Jaywick) as you can possibly get without crossing into the next constituency. (Green dot is roughly where it took place.) Can't wait to hear how it was funded.

200

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

"Pondera" westie from @thornbridge.bsky.social . Grapefruit and westie bitterness. Top stuff as usual. #BskyBeer

0211

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

An absolutely banging summer beer now, "Tart" sour with Galaxy hops from @thornbridge.bsky.social . Galaxy adds a bit of peachiness. Quality.

2131

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

"Root and Peak" hazy IPA from @thornbridge.bsky.social and Arbor. Cracking tropical fruits, smooth mouth feel, boozy kick. Splendid.

2201

Geoff Pearson @geoffpearson.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

I had a day off today, so did what any well-adjusted idiot would do and ran 54k, on a route I dreamt up. Ipswich to Flatford and Dedham, then back to Harwich. A couple of beers tonight!
