@elusivebrewing.com @tabamatu.bsky.social loving this Tasman Westie! Can tell it’s a two flints collab straight away. Fantastic brewing sometimes with a collab you think yeah they just got together for a few beers but this one has got shared DNA!

My nice evening drinking and grilling in the garden has been ruined by my neighbours playing Bebe Rexha and Faithless. WTF!!! You don’t do that to Insomnia. Absolute travesty!!!! Tempted to put on some very loud industrial metal to drown out the unrelenting shit being pumped over the fence!

@azvexbrewing.bsky.social the most challenging beer I’ve ever had to squeeze out of a can… had to decant and whip up 😂 tastes great though

The Tyneside Lambic trail is always such a great reminder of why beer and pubs matter. A huge thank you to Mick at @thefreetradeinn.bsky.social for putting the whole thing together, to the venues, and to everyone who joined the @craftbeerncl.bsky.social social yesterday ❤️

Drank this before taking a photo but it was soooo good. Six North always is! A great Hefe but with a sneaky bit of chilli which kicks at the end. Very refreshing. #bskybeer

Not sure anyone who follows me is down that way but if you are, this is a superb show. Robin is always a joy to see and this show is what the world needs right now, more understanding and humanity. So if you are nearby get a ticket!

Any of my beer followers who’ve not tried @weebeershop.bsky.social check them out. Went to an Emperors meet the brewer there on Saturday and what a proper little treasure trove of superb beers that shop is. Niall is a really nice chap and he does web orders.

Can't help thinking a "unite the nation" campaign would have more success if they cleared up litter or did odd jobs for the elderly than drunkenly marching and shouting hoping for a fight with literally anyone.
