Smoked stout from St Mars of the Desert. For those with longer memories, think Smog Rocket, which was produced in cask (St least in North London)

To confound those who have been going on about beer temperature, such as, er, myself, Anspach & Hobday Fest beer in a chilled glass @popnhops.bsky.social

Ram Rod is a reminder of brewing times past. The Ram was kept at Young's brewery in Wandsworth. Currently on sale at Home Bargains for a very low price. Label says Carlsberg brewed it at Bedford. They didn't. Its short dated-Nov 26-so they are offloading it

Saturday lunch at the Crofts Roath. Cask beer & cheese & onion roll. The beer is a 4.8% Sharps red ipa. No fan of Doombar but this is decent

Not much to be said about Greene King's acquisition of Morlands except they got Old Speckled Hen. Noting that tradition is invented they blended it with their 5X 12% stock ale to produce Old Crafty Hen 6.5%. Whether it will survive the sale to Damm in Bedford...

Kernel & Newbarns collab. London Black lager first brewed in 1930. The name references Austrian dictator Haynau who in Sept 1850 was chased along the Thames Bankside by workers at the Barclay & Perkins brewery

Saturday Night & Sunday Morning & Weekend In Dinlock combined. 10% tipa to mark Indy Rabble's 3rd birthday. Collab with Andy at Elusive. Takes skill to brew this strong without being very sweet. Current duty structure also makes it expensive. Best ordered direct from the brewery

The first day of Autumn & a first try of Fuller's Vintage Ale 2026. I can confirm that it is beard friendly & will become more so as it conditions in the bottle over time

My favourite iteration of Guinness, 7.5%. It hasn't been bottle conditioned since 1948 but remains a great beer

The UK cherry season, climate change impacted is done. I usually move on to autumn fruits. However these Canadian cherries(from the Co-Op) make a point

Not yet confirmed but election results in Berlin with a significant increase in the vote for Die Linke underline that the left can provide an alternative to the right & far right
