It’s the big 5-0 tomorrow. Just chatting to the kids there and pointed out that if I live to be 100 they’ll be nearly 70 so we can all go about with our free bus passes together. That shut them up 😅

I can’t now recall the thinking behind combining coffee, cardamom and coconut but it works 👌 I brewed this in my shed at least 10 years ago and now it’s on the bar at the Crown Posada. If you’re in Newcastle this evening come and hear the >140 characters version of the (admittedly nerdy) story

Come and join us in Newcastle on Friday next week! We’ll be propping up the bar at the wonderful Crown Posada where you’ll find a dazzling array of STF beers on cask and keg.

Our first pale hoppy beer of 2026: US Pale - a lovely looking and ludicrously tasty Pale Ale full of juicy tropical fruit with a zingy citrus-pith edge. It lands somewhere between a NEIPA and a Westie- is this a 'No Coast?' Doesn't matter. Good beer is good beer.

I love it when you walk to the pub, sit down with a pint and a packet of crisps and get a notification saying “Move goal achieved”. Damn right! 💪

“In busier times, a table is won through stealth, trickery, speed and wit. Stand with your beer and enjoy the room as it is, using your peripheral vision to scout for a leaving group with the precision of a sniper. Swoop in with bags and coats, using the correct balance of confidence and manners.”👌

Two new beers this week - Tenements Lager; 3.8% gluten-free. Our small batch take on a big Scottish favourite Belgian Christmas Ale; 2025's vintage is 6.3% with a Stout-y grist that's big on chocolate/dried fruit and Belgian-style fermentation 🤘🍻

No. 100 was Dubbel Date btw, the canned version. We did a bottled one too, but upped the amount dates this time around so, along with a new label, I’m saying it’s unique www.simplethingsfermentations.com/beers/dubbel...

We include the malt bill, hop varieties and yeast strain used for every beer, mainly because I used to like seeing that info back in my homebrew days.

I’ve just uploaded the 100th unique beer to the ‘Beers’ page on our website. I’m usually fastidious about doing this but I missed this one when we released it a couple of weeks ago… 🎉 www.simplethingsfermentations.com/beers

🆕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 A brown beer in the Belgian style with the trademark fruity Abbey Ale flavour profile and fortified with organic Deglet Noor dates. Rich and complex aromas of dried fruit and banana mingle with delicate nutty and spice notes in a beer that’s soft, smooth and deliciously easy drinking. #bskybeer

It’s been a huge pleasure to have Jim ISBF here for a brew today. A few handfuls of spruce tips, juniper, some choc rye, a load of floor malted Pilsner and nae hops. Should be just the job on a rainy November night in Salford @salfordbeerfest.bsky.social

A timely read as we’re about to release our 2.9% Table Beer, which we brew with Euro/noble hops as well as US varieties. We do this for flavour and because the resulting complexity helps a lower ABV beer punch above its weight.

Next Thursday - 4th September - you’ll find us and a whole load of our tasty beers at the wonderful Crown Posada in Newcastle. If you’ve been before, you’ll know what an awesome pub this is. If you haven’t, come and find out! Loads of cask, loads of keg. Side helpings of chat. Cheers!

Look at that list! So proud to be on it… and so looking forward to being back in Hemsley House 🍻

Saddened by the news of Sir Geoff Palmer's passing. The one guest lecture he gave during my time at Heriot Watt was outstanding; packed with anecdotes, energy and charisma off the scale. And brewing/distilling was just one element of his life! A truly unique man and a great loss, RIP.

Those talented Gan Yam folks are as good with words as they are with beer, so check out this write up on the delicious nettle sour we brewed recently, then buy some and try it! Just don’t expect to find out what nettles taste like 😅 ganyambrewco.substack.com/p/whats-brew...

What's Brewing: Heavy Nettle

We take our brewers Jonny and Greg aside to look under the bonnet of one of our many beers. We’ll kick it off with a bit of technical detail, and then move into the emotional realm...

As someone with tinnitus myself and dad to a son with hearing loss, it’s great to see a bit of chat around this. Dave from Ride Brewing was an advocate for better provision in Glasgow, but he’s now living on Gigha where it’s no doubt less of an issue 🏝️

Let’s hope so! It’ll be interesting to see how this goes over the next few weeks, especially for the smallest breweries without existing pubco relationships.
