Brilliant, and surprising, to see some local grass growing back so quickly after such horrible drought conditions. My wee dug loves it.

Some photos from a day out in Edinburgh in July. Some of the pubs in Leith are class, aren’t they? I also paid a swift visit to the Scottish pub of the year out in Musselburgh.

Sad to read that The Bon Accord pub in Glasgow has now closed. Its relocation from Charing Cross to Hope Street might help get some new punters in, but you can't replace years of memories with a new location.

My photo exhibition "A Beer's Place" finished at The Kings Arms last week. To celebrate/commiserate, there is a 25% sale on prints on my online store. There's photos from the pub, hop farms, breweries... seanislegendprints.square.site

Yesterday I had some of the first pints of Augustiner Helles to be served on draught in the UK. Available now at The Kings Arms. Not to be missed.

Here's my latest work for @pelliclemag.com. I ticked @rogerprotz.bsky.social off the collab bucket list with this feature on the lovely Jenkinson family and their Chiltern Brewery. Their hospitality and dedication to provenance–beer from the brewery, food from the pub–deserves this recognition.

Keystone Brewing is a failed experiment in seeing if consumers were still willing to spend money on failed local-led brands who fell into the hands of faceless private equity companies. It's even more absurd that someone else is willing to waste yet more millions testing that again.

This is the last week to get prints delivered in time for Christmas. And what a great gift they'd make! I've just sent a lovely new A3 print on its way to France. This one is from my green hop feature, but others are available too. DM if you're interested and I can get it sorted with priority.

The Fat Cat was always one of those pubs that was on "the list", but I never expected to visit. I'm so glad I got the chance to finally tick it off with this visit for @pelliclemag.com. This is my fourth feature with @fred-gs.bsky.social and it's a personal one. Please read and enjoy.

This is a lovely deep-dive on the English hop harvest and a handful of green hop (aka fresh hop) beers made with them. The surprise twist is that one of the beers uses Bullion, a very old variety I thought was extinct. I guess not!

The summer sun has left us and that means no more street pints until next year. It’s too cold now, and the change happened far too quickly for my liking.
