Given this post I'm thinking that it might be the end for Almasty 😢

440ml cans of @lostandgrounded.bsky.social Keller Pils reduced to clear at £2.35 per can in M&S... You don't need to ask me twice; the shelf is now clear 😂 #nobrainer 🍻

Was hoping to visit @durationbeer.bsky.social last weekend but alas, couldn't make it happen. Consoling myself with a few of their beers tonight. After a can of Good Times American Light Lager now supping this delightful West Coast Pale

Really want to go to bed but unfortunately the wedding episode in season 4 of The Bear is next up in my rewatch binge so that's not happening

Another classic... @pressuredropbrw.bsky.social Pale Fire, tasting great 🍻

Think I'm gonna call this a saison, by the taste of it. Another good one

Pete @hopsandhoops.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

Looking forward to getting stuck into these tomorrow evening

Explored the pubs of Stoke Newington yesterday evening. The Axe, The Jolly Butchers, The Coach & Horses, all great pubs but The C&H was head and shoulders above the rest down to two amazing guys behind the bar who took the time to talk to a solo drinker and even entertain me with card tricks!

Magnificent Pale Ale from Burnt Mill

Pete @hopsandhoops.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

More Burnt Mills... Costal Highway is magnificent (as you'd expect from an IPA with Jeff Bagby involved

Lots of Burnt Mill beers to get through this week... Starting off with a delicious Helles

In Simpatico from @blackjackbeers.bsky.social is a great Italian pils. Up there with Cuttin' Grass by @durationbeer.bsky.social and Luppoleto by @burningskybeer.bsky.social, as great British examples of the style

Pete @hopsandhoops.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

Now for @blackjackbeers.bsky.social's 10° Czech pilsner

Commencing an evening of @blackjackbeers.bsky.social beers. Opening up with a lovely little lager hopped with British grown Opus

Pete @hopsandhoops.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

Another great lager to end the night. Accompanied by an episode of the brilliant "The Rehearsal"

As promised, here’s the first part of the three part ‘mini-documentary’ I captured during a two-day visit to Thornbridge last October. Soon to be followed by a podcast and write up, also.

As you'd expect from a Black IPA from @elusivebrewing.com , Midnight Oregon Trail is hitting all the marks

Pete @hopsandhoops.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

On the @elusivebrewing.com Oregon Trilogy beers. DDH was a miss for me but this is absolutely brilliant

Free delivery at Deya means I've got 6 litres of this beautiful pilsner to get me through the weekend

Pete @hopsandhoops.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

The 4.5-5% pale seems to be the sweet spot for @elusivebrewing.com in my opinion. Ephemeris in particular is one of the best beers I've had in a while

Pete @hopsandhoops.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

Another night on the @blackjackbeers.bsky.social... Starting on this little hazy pale

Pete @hopsandhoops.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

It’s been a good while since I had anything from @blackjackbeers.bsky.social but after these they're firmly up there on my list of brewers making great, sessionablebbeers, across a range of styles. As recommended by @totalcurtis.bsky.social on the end of year @pelliclemag.com podcast

Pete @hopsandhoops.bsky.social · 26/12/2025

What an unbelievably smooth beer this is at 12.5% from @sirencraftbrew.bsky.social. Aged for 18 months in a variety of bourbon barrels and bottled in October 2023. Superb accompaniment to the finale of Pluribus

Pete @hopsandhoops.bsky.social · 25/12/2025

Mince Pie Barley Wine aged in bourbon and brandy barrels from @elusivebrewing.com & A Ghost Story For Christmas... Perfect way to see out Christmas Day when the family has retired to bed 🍻👻🎄
