Update to my blog of July travels with my Beer Passport to incorporate the fact that I also had a wonderful afternoon at Perivale on 31 July. Practical as ever in terms of using unlikely ingredients occurring naturally on the farm - Nettle Lager anyone? www.londonbiermeister.co.uk/blog/back-to...

Many thanks @camraofficial.bsky.social for sharing the archive conference motions spreadsheet before St Albans this weekend. As a recent member and history nerd it’s a rich source… Some unanswered questions eg the motion deploring the 1985 and 1986 GBGs for “gross bad taste and offensiveness”??

BrewDog’s administrators offering half price food and drink this week. It would be rude not to… The beers are still good. The guy who was stumped when I said “I can’t remember what it’s called but I think you have a 7% porter brewed on site” less so - a proper BrewDog worker would have known

A new experience for me having randomly walked past the Polish aisle in the supermarket. Made with wort from rye / barley / wheat, but only very mildly alcoholic and more like coke in taste. Rather nice though

RIP Martyn Cornell. Proper historian and showed that beer needed the disciplines of proper history as much as any other subject does. Fitting that his last message was to correct a big brewery for getting a story wrong. Once corrected one of my blogs, but (quite) nicely

In Camden this evening so enjoying Werewolf and 3 Locks. There is another brewery in Camden as well - and I am not prejudiced against their corporate mega-parent - but when I schlepped over there I found that they had closed the bar early.

Final stop in Toulouse - joining the locals in Place St Georges for the blonde from Gallia brewery of Paris. Hasn’t dramatically changed my view that beer isn’t the reason to visit France - there are many other good reasons - but tasty enough and in good surroundings
