Post-work beer in @thegreengoddess.bsky.social. Nine customers, two dogs, @elusivebrewing.com Krusher on the hand pumps. Happy in-between Sunday evening.

We hope everyone had a great Christmas! We're back open today with some nice fresh beers, including the award winning Oregon Trail West Coast IPA on cask by @elusivebrewing.com Grab a roll with it as well, you can't get better than that! 🍻

Prior to dinner we had some drinks at The Blue Maid and I was happy to have a couple of lovely beers from @elusivebrewing.com, including the incredible Oregon Trail.

If you’re looking to visit us at the taproom this Christmas, here’s a reminder of our opening hours:

Great evening at the @britbeerwriters.bsky.social Awards. Lots of great beers, but mainly just nice to catch up with everyone and cheer friends on. So happy that @tabamatu.bsky.social @elusivebrewing.com won Brewer of the Year and Beer of the Year (for Oregon Trail) and Silver for his book.

So tonight, at the British Guild of Beer Writers Awards, this happened:

Did you know that @peckhamtownfc.bsky.social’s very own Elusive beer is waiting for you at every home game?!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined in with #Collabageddon! From the breweries who collaborated and venues who poured, to Sellar sorting the distro, and everyone who tried the beers, we’re so grateful 📷: @beerprimeuk.bsky.social @lucsto.bsky.social @philmellows.bsky.social @ewanm.bsky.social

Last week was a whirlwind of great beer, good people & top energy 🍻✨ Huge thanks to everyone who came down! This week’s a little calmer… except for 1 big thing 👀👇 Our pals @craftybeergirls.bsky.social are running a Festive Crawl across some of Berkshire’s best breweries + taprooms this Saturday 🎄🍺

I did have another #Collabageddon beer at Fuggles Beer Cafe - the cask version of @elusivebrewing.com x @brollybrewing.bsky.social Midnight Cruiser, which was so good. I preferred it to the keg version. Creamy, balanced, with the coffee more pronounced. 4/4

It was #Collabageddon night last night and I was at @brollybrewing.bsky.social Taproom. They have a strict rotation system, so I had 7 out of the 12 beers, but I may pop back over the weekend to see if they’ve put any of the others on! So let’s break down what I had last night… 1/5

got down to the hand in hand in brighton for @elusivebrewing.com's collabageddon. voyager by tap social x campervan going down nicely.

We think they’re stunning and it’s good to know we’re not alone! 🍻 Collabageddon 2025 beers available over the weekend.

#Collabageddon @brollybrewing.bsky.social x @thornbridge.bsky.social Perch Burton Ale @handbrewco.bsky.social Hand in Hand.

The Travellers Club partaking of Collabageddon 2025… in a break from their usual habit we are A Hoppy Place in Maidenhead this year!! I am not sure Uncle Albeert is understanding the change 🤠🍹😊🍻😂👍🤣🎸😹🍺😱

#Collabageddon under way at the Hand in Hand Brighton with @handbrewco.bsky.social x @durationbeer.bsky.social Noki Schwarbier.

Now in Green Goddess for the first six #collabageddon beers before heading to @theshirkersrest.bsky.social for part two. My friends are very happy too.

We are getting very excited about Collabageddon tomorrow. There is a pdf of tasting notes for all 12 beers on our website at baileyhead.co.uk/event/collab...
