Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I'd have to put Pure as my person Pendragon favourite, stunningly consistent catalogue though, especially Masquerade onwards 010
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 02/09/2026He's an even bigger liar than his orange idiot boss I'm not per-se against data centres, but what he said here today is just total bullshit! 000
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 30/08/2026A few beers at home for a change - the Lupulus was for the missus (along with a 500ml Kasteel Rouge) - “cryo pop”, I was expecting something fruitier, but some distinct aniseed notes The new Chimay, nothing special, reminded me of Duvel 666. The Bertinchamps is new too, too much %ABV #BskyBeer 051
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Yeah fuck Google! I like the tag-line though "smallest of the Great Lakes" Still correct on Apple Maps, thanks Tim, John, whomever... 040
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Sorry for the AI slop, but this one's important, Tim at his very best (for me) 000
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Friday night is date-nite, rotating around the fine restaurants withing walking distance from where we live Almadraba bluefin tartare, beef tartare Rubia Gallega pata negra, colonel dessert (lemon-sorbet in vodka), an Orval, a couple of St Hubertus Tipples and and a glass of Grenache chilled red 010
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Bought this at the same time (HMV, Birmingham New Street) as Superunknown and played them both in rotation for a whole week, full-blast on my ghetto-blaster while renovating the bathroom... 000
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 28/06/2026A new Val Dieu, a bit like their blonde with a squeeze of lime juice… Next up Brussels DIPA challenge, which is best? Well they’re surprisingly similar despite the surgeries look. The Double Delta leans on caramel, malty notes, where as the Senne is a little sharper and a touch sour #bskybeer 081
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Graspop Metal Meeting with my kid, they grow up fast folks. 34C, 4 days, hard for an old man, but lots of great music, beer, crappy festival food and the metal crowd are great! 040
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Now that's some crazy pricing just north of Turnhout @electricfelix.eurosky.social 110
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Peeps, there’s a new Duvel, had no idea what I was when I bought it, was worried it might be “peach infused” or something dreadful Turns out it has some extra fancy hop added, but yikes, it’s nasty, bitter as feck - “citrus” they say, more like grapefruit oil, yeurgh!! #BskyBeer 1102
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Fuck me, I needed that, had been a long week… #BskyBeer 171
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Angine de Potrine on a hot’n’sweaty night in Brussels… 010
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 16/05/2026Finally got a proper glass for La Senne - and yes, it does make it taste better! #bskybeer 051
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Credit where it’s due, some good came out of the visit Apologies, a friend sent me this from the other place And yes, JDV is an insufferable twat, we Europeans can’t stand the fucker 000
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 08/04/2026TBH as the US is now, good riddance, sick of the whining and the bad faith - Europe will have to step up to the plate, which will be tricky short-term, but way better in the log-run Sick to death of the USA meddling in Europan affairs Putin must be delighted that agent orange delivered 010
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Had to do a double-take there, thought you'd nicked Max... 120
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 05/04/2026Visited the brasserie at kasteel brewery Friday night and brought a few of these home for the wife, well both of us, all gone, already 🤷♂️#bskybeer 020
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Yeah, has more listed building than York, you can see 7 different types or church-spires from one votable pint, and the highest density of pubs per square mile in the UK Something for everyone 100
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Whoops, I did it again… this time with 5x Maredsous bruin… #BskyBeer 031
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 27/02/2026“Trio de Tartare” and Orval for lunch yesterday with colleague… ended up being 5 Orvals in the end, not my fault, the resto offered one on the house at the end, and who am I to refuse? Fortunately no meetings in the afternoon 🥴 #BskyBeer 171
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Dump the hybrids already too! And talking or Renault 5 EV, here's the wife's (just traded her Tesla Model Y for this) 👿 191
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 19/02/2026Yeah, Duvel is frisky stuff, although the THop less so than the regular I would say... 000
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 11/02/2026Wifey swapped her Tesla Model Y for a Renault 5 EV Don’t hate on me, but I still have a Tesla. In my defence, I did buy my first one long, long time ago in 2013, long before all this nonsense Like them or not, Tesla started the EV revolution But I’m working on it, ok? 000
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 06/02/2026Music festival in Utrecht this weekend, trading under influence…. #BskyBeer 061
Max Plaid @maxplaid.bsky.social · 31/01/2026Sorry, haven’t posted much beer as of late, mostly because I ain’t drunk much, mostly on account of stopping home boozing and, well, I don’t get out that often Been trying a few NA beers and here’s a new one I spotted today, bears a slight resemblance to the real thing, not too bad @bskybeer 020
