@petebrownbeer.bsky.social haven't been listening properly but Huw Stephens on 6music I think is talking about 'best non-musical moment at a festival' & someone wrote in to say you at Green Man & then Huw said about yes how good it is & how you do it every year! Great shout-out! Hope you're well 🍻

Every now and again a beer comes onto the bar that causes quite a bit of discussion in the pub. From peoples beer of the day/week/year to "it's not really a mild but it's delicious" not a lot hasn't been said about it over the weekend. Still a tiny bit left if you are feeling curious 👑🍻 #bskybeer

She Drinks Beer at The Good Measure was fun last night - some regulars, some newbies, a potential new brewer for Bristol! We talked about that other big male-dominated arena - record collecting and djing - as well as more on the supreme court ruling on transgender people. A good evening 💛🍻🙌🏻

Being doing a lot up at The Good Measure recently, including changing up the furniture and doing some work on the garden. Last minute bit of outdoor wood staining today (too wet last week, too hot earlier this week!), then we're ready for you! Come for a pint later, pub opens at 2pm 🍻☀️🎉

Burncoose nursery on Gardeners World! Really near where my Dad grew up (Ponsanooth, funnily enough where Verdant started their brewery), we'd drive past it all the time on the way to Porth Towan beach 🥰 Talking about his anemones going to Chelsea 🙌🏻

A Gloucester Road story in 3 parts: Ghost sign at top of our road (@boakandbailey.bsky.social thought you might like to see it before it gets covered by what looks like an ENORMOUS new sign... 🙄) Delicious Bris Beer Factory Milk Stout at The Drapers (no photo of that, sorry!) Jinzu sushi - lush! 🍻

Ghost sign on a restaurant on Glo'Ro with the new sign on the pavement below it, we think it reads 'Bernard Hembry'

Kings Head. Small cask on the bar. “It’s one of Vince's. He says it's brown.” “A pint and a half of Vince, then.” (Vince, late of The Drapers Arms, runs Ashley Down Brewery.)
