NEW BEER TIME! Well, old beer re-release time. IT'S BUCK'S PEACH! A peach wheat beer that's dry hopped with some new world hops that muggins here has forgotten and can't be bothered to look up. Anyway it's probably delicious. pilotbeer.co.uk/collections/...

Just remembered we're a brewery. Should probably try to sell some beer. Back once again (for the renegade master) it's Festbier! As ever, it's resplendent in a definitely non-copyright infringing can and 100% delicious. pilotbeer.co.uk/festbier

Don't worry too much if you did badly in your A-levels, things could always be worse. For example you could have done badly in your A-levels and also have to drink beer from Jeremy Clarkson's brewery.

Yep, sure is tough in the old brewing world these days. Still, good job we don't also have to compete with multi multi millionaire celebrities who could swim in a pool of their money like Scrooge McDuck launching beer brands just because they can.

Admittedly it wasn't great but the Scotland-Scandi collab project we did was like 8 years ago so it seems like an odd time to bring it up.

Hello. Are there any Google Business experts around? Google's extremely clever AI has decided to claim we have a pub quiz on tonight (we don't, it's tomorrow) and there's no obvious way to remove it (e.g. Posts, Events). Google's extremely clever AI assistant is no help either.

Here’s something interesting that isn’t even about Twitter for once. We bagged our brewkit from Fountainbridge nearly 15 years ago, and now we’ve brewed a Scotch Export using a historic yeast strain from, wink wink nudge nudge, another Fountainbridge brewery. pilotbeer.co.uk/collections/...

To explain this with a brewing analogy, it’s like if Tim Davie was in a brewery and the brewery was full of nothing but nazis and sex offenders and yet he decided to stay in the brewery to try to get the nazis and sex offenders to watch Countryfile for some reason.

It's a niche interest so by way of background, after a period of phenomenal success a few years back they've been in the doldrums for a good while.

A hilarious riff on the Alan Partridge "can I just shock you" meme, implying that the Pilot brewery actually *like* rating sites despite years of vocally disparaging the Untappd beer rating website and app.

That's 99 Google reviews for Vessel, averaging 4.9. Want to be the 100th? Book now and IT COULD BE YOU! vesselbars.co.uk You could also be the 26th Tripadvisor review (the eagle-eyed amongst you will note that's also at 4.9) but that does seem slightly less of a milestone tbf.

Back in 2017 we brewed a Dark Mild with our (genuine, not made up for social media) friend Tim at Fell. Now he’s up here and we’re brewing exactly the same beer again, just because we fancy it. So that’s nice.

We’ll do the good news first. We’ve made a big west coast IPA and it’s a proper westie. Bitter, sweet, piney. The bad news? Look we’re not saying we’re phoning it in but we’ve called it Big Westie and this is the can. Buy it here if you must: pilotbeer.co.uk/collections/...

The main reason we stopped fining our beers back in 2014 is so that whenever we see Farage gurning over a pint of something crystal clear we can be reasonably certain it isn’t one of ours.

Look at this, we're launching a beer to celebrate 30 years of The Stand comedy club. It's called Wit, which is a very clever joke because that is both a kind of beer and a sort of humour or something. The name Ho-ho-gaarden was rejected on the grounds of copyright infringement. pilotbeer.co.uk/wit
