We found a bit of Eurovision in San Francisco and they have decent beer! Ghost Town and Firestone Walker on tap. Great way to watch! #Bskybeer #Beersky

Final stop of the day, Great Notion. I've tracked down a few of these in the UK so it was great to visit. Beer and pho noodles. Of note was The Cantina smoothie seltzer inspired by Star Wars blue milk. #BskyBeer #Beersky

Third stop was Sante Adairius Rustic Ales. Lovely vibe and their saisons were exceptional. #BskyBeer #Beersky

Second stop was Original Pattern brewery. Didn't know these guys before stopping but highly recommend. Beer was great, futuristic water dispenser was next level. #BskyBeer #Beersky

Started today at Cellarmaker in Oakland after a ferry across the Bay. Worth coming for the pizza alone, but the beer was great too! #BskyBeer #Beersky

First day in San Francisco. Going light after Russian River yesterday, but squeezed in a few at Tornado, and RR Supplication at Crafty Fox Ale House. Incredible beer. #BskyBeer #Beersky

Monterey has been good to us. Sealions and plenty of great beer from Alvarado Street Brewery and Fieldwork. #BskyBeer

Driving through Big Sur today and the weather is sadly crap. But, we did find an incredible craft beer bar. Big Sur Tap House, stocking local excellent beers. #BskyBeer

Santa Barbara stop 5 - Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. A reasonable final stop before dinner. We had better earlier in the day, but who can complain when you're in this setting. #BskyBeer

Santa Barbara stop 4 - Mama Dog Tap Room. Coming from the UK and seeing this many Russian River beers on tap is quite something. I went for the Docta-Ron. Saving draft Pliny for when we visit the actual brewery in a few days. Also, this fridge offering is immense. #BskyBeer

Santa Barbara stop 3 - Topa Topa. Lovely vibe, great beer list, the sun is shining. And a funk band turned up! West coast Blue Heaven IPA. #BskyBeer

Santa Barbara stop 2 - Third Window. Great beer, barbecue and a winery too! #BskyBeer

Santa Barbara stop 1 - Validation Brewery. Nectaron session IPA packed full of flavour, and some food to line the stomach. #BskyBeer

West coast is the best coast! First stop on the US road trip is Santa Barbara's Night Lizard brewery. We last drank here 8 years ago on our honeymoon! #BskyBeer

Getting in the mood for our imminent US trip with a bumper delivery from Brew Export. Fidens, Tin Barn, Trillium, CLAG and Brujos 🔥 #BskyBeer

Possibly the most grim, shameful policy I've ever seen in UK politics. The only positive to take from it is that it clearly highlights the fear they have of Greens. Proof that you should stand up to bullies, instead of playing into their racist tropes.

No, we're staying with friends in Manchester so just went for the day. It is a bit remote, but there's lots of free car parks within walking distance.

Cosmos (Banana, Mango & Coconut). I really don't like banana, but this was impressive.

The Rivington Brewery is well worth a trip. Great range of beers, lovely food, idyllic setting. #BskyBeer

Always happy when the weather makes a beer and 80s Trivial Pursuit in the garden possible. @trackbrewingco.bsky.social Another Summer Pale Ale to start. #BskyBeer

Just back from a long weekend in Copenhagen. Highlights included barbecue and beer at Warpigs, 61 taps at Taphouse, Aben brewery's church-like layout, stunning streetfood and beer in Reffen, and a surprisingly impressive airport bar thanks to Mikkeller. #BskyBeer

First visit to @thornbridge.bsky.social new London pub, The Wild Swan. Lovely decor, well kept cask and the pizza menu requires a return visit. A great addition to central London. #BskyBeer

Mark Cutmore @markcutmore.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

I'm in here right now. Lovely pub and the cask is fantastic.

Battersea brewery trail stop four. Bohem brewery at Queens Arms. Lovely pub, great vibe, stunning Czech style beers brewed in London. Highlight of the day #Bskybeer

Battersea brewery trail stop three. Distortion Brewery. Solid, friendly, if a little unexciting stop. #BskyBeer

0151

Battersea brewery trail stop two. Unfortunately Mondo had a refridgeration issue, so their flight wasn't really an option unless I wanted all core repeats. But this Wiper collab was great. #BskyBeer

Battersea brewery trail stop one. Battersea Brewery. Strong start at 1pm with a London Passport half price flight. Solid beer, lovely setting. #Bskybeer

What a week. Launched a Star Trek anniversary season at work (come check it out), saw a good friend get married, and squeezed some great beers in the mix. Lovely cask from Azvex & Salt, Fidens DIPA and an excellent beer and label from Azvex. #Bskybeer #StarTrek www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/star-trek-60
