Arkayla at the O2 Ritz in Manchester last night. 'Fortune Teller' sounding as good as ever with a full crowd sing along.

Thank you. Took so many as it was a brilliant show and superb weather conditions.

The story of The Burton Union would be very different without the loving interference of some key figures in the beer world. Now @thornbridge.bsky.social are using theirs to make some of the best beer in the country. @totalcurtis.bsky.social heads to Bakewell. www.pelliclemag.com/home/2026/4/...

After completing my 14th consecutive Manchester Marathon last Sunday, I can now put my road running shoes away for a few months and enjoy the Peak District trails 😊

On Thursday, the @thornbridge.bsky.social Board visited our new Thornbridge & Co pub in London for the first time. The Wild Swan is on Fetter Lane in Holborn and she's a beauty 😍

Great article and it's brilliant to see Lakes Brew Co go from strength to strength. Steve, Matt & Michelle deserve all the success. Fell are great, too.

It was a beautiful morning in Sheffield yesterday for my long run. It's fair to say that I got a little bit carried away with the distance...

Pleased you got some return. I gave up on these and Brewdog many years ago. I'm also vehemently against crowdfunding, especially in our sector. Too many people have been taken for a ride based on promises which haven't been kept.

Finally, confirmation today that it isn't worth the paper it's written on. #Brewdog

Fantastic meal at Tom Lawson at The Psalter in Sheffield last night. We couldn't get booked in on a Thursday when they were offering 50% off their tasting menu price, so they honoured it for us on a Friday 🙏

I knew that we had beer in various venues in Singapore, but not one quite so opulent. At S$21.40 I opted for a S$32 cocktail instead 😬

We went to the absolutely stunning Atlas Bar in Singapore last night. More than 1,000 different gins on the menu, some dating back over 100 years, and also a particular beer I know quite well; @thornbridge.bsky.social Jaipur.

Ah, ok. Well, I don't run every step of the way, but it's still a run. There are some big climbs in that route!

My favourite 12 mile running route in the Peak District. Bamford - Bamford Edge - Cutthroat Bridge - Derwent Edge - Ladybower Reservoir - Win Hill - Bamford Mill.

It's great, isn't it?! I know the concept isn't new, but suits their branding. You definitely need to visit!

I'm on @itvcalendar tonight on ITV1 from 6pm, thanks to @kerriegosneyTV for inviting me to take part in her 'Seat With a View' series. It's also available to watch online, and don't worry, it features the scenery more than me 😄 www.itv.com/watch/news/a...

That's five half and half scarves I can spot just in this small section of the Man City supporters. The state of top flight football these days 🤦‍♂️ #MCILIV

There is this one road, hidden away between Grindleford and Hathersage in the #PeakDistrict, that I have to visit at least once each autumn, to see the colours. It was looking beautiful at lunchtime today 🍂 (Photos need a click to expand)

At noon on Wednesday, The Fargate opens its doors to the people of #Sheffield and visitors to the city. Sitting proud at the top of Fargate in one of the city's most iconic buildings, we cannot wait until our newest @thornbridge.bsky.social & Co site is open.

The camera does lie. There were at least another 100 people at the summit of Helvellyn when we reached it on today's hike. In such amazing weather, who can blame any of us. It doesn't get much better (or warmer) than this, even in the summer!
