Apologies for the lack of content on here recently, we got invited to a party with Steve Carell and David Beckham and now they’re making us just like stand behind the sofa while they watch the football. Thierry Henry’s here too.

It would be easy to be churlish as a Scottish brewery on a night like this but as we’ve got family and friends down in Stockbridge we’d like to wish the best of luck to the England team.

NEW ( sort of ) - @pilotbeer.co.uk Orange/Green/Pale 4.5% £3.20/33cl

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.

Bold of Evri to complain about things being lost.

England to play at the Azteca is it?

The bigger question is what was Humphrey Smith doing with our phone in a pub in the first place?

Just read about Humphrey Smith dying on our phone in a pub.

We will also offer a £1 million bar tab if Scotland reach the World Cup Final.

Like the BBC commentators and an absolutely stonewall penalty for Ghana 5 minutes before full time, we completely omitted to mention this beer we launched earlier. It's your classic German dark lager. Nice and crisp but a decent whack of chocolate and caramel in there too. pilotbeer.co.uk/dunkel

Yes it’s hot up here today, but spare a thought for those in the South of England. Not because it’s hot, just because they’re in the South of England.

Matterface and Dixon, the Milkshake and IPA of the commentary world.

NEW - @pilotbeer.co.uk Dunkel 5.2% abv. £3/33cl

SpaceX made the biggest stock market debut in history today. Public trading began with a starting price of $150 which quickly jumped by a double digit percentage and sent the company’s valuation above $2tn. The company’s IPO made the company’s CEO, Elon Musk, the world’s biggest cunt.

Never realised the Azteca was at such high altitude. That actually makes Peter Shilton’s two inch jump even less impressive.

Would we, a moderately well-tolerated brewery, try to cash in on the imminent World Cup by shoehorning whatever lagers we happened to have in stock at the time into some sort of themed collection? No we simply would not do that. 10% off across the board as well btw. pilotbeer.co.uk/worldcup

BACK - @pilotbeer.co.uk Blue Lady Pale. 5% abv. £3/33cl

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.

When we tweeted this about the Tokyo Olympics a man came up to us at a party and congratulated us on securing such a massive coup.

Delighted to announce we’re the Official Beer Partner™ of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Wonder if any brands have considered doing some sort of World Cup tie-in.

Things really turned round for us as a business when we started selling our raw milk stout to idiots.

This is rather yum! Well done @pilotbeer.co.uk you’ve smashed another winner!

NEW - @pilotbeer.co.uk Light* 3.2% abv. £2.90/33cl *We've been stocking their (mostly excellent) beer since the very beginning and have always been impressed by their reluctance to indulge in punnery - it's just about possible that they've stumbled into this one accidentally

NEW - @stfermentations.bsky.social @pilotbeer.co.uk Celebraison 3.8% abv. £2.90/33cl

James Watt’s new brewery “a really great idea” says former PM Tony Blair.

Apparently Harland & Wolff are building a second Titanic and are offering a free voyage to everyone who died on the first one.

We used to have a no puns rule. We used to be a proper country. pilotbeer.co.uk/pilotlight

Apologies for the lack of content on here recently, we’re the people who’ve been changing all the apps so you have to scan a QR code to log in except the app is on your phone SO WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO SCAN THE QR CODE WITH? WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO SCAN IT WITH?

A collaborative beer dinner? In 2026? But isn't craft beer dead? Probably. Come to this. It'll be absolutely delicious. pilotbeer.co.uk/celebraisondinner

We're not one of those companies who describe our staff as our family because we like our staff and enjoy spending time with them.

Err if we aren’t an award winning brewery then what do you call this charming little shopping bag trophy that Shopify sent us?

Brut IPA’s resigned then.

Replacing Starmer with Wes Streeting feels about as futile as when we got rid of milkshake IPA and brought in brut IPA instead.

Had been a fairly run of the mill Monday until we just discovered one of our sales guys has been using the phrase "squid pro quo" in all seriousness.

Look you can’t just rely on them being incompetent and the public seeing through it. We’ve been going for 13 years ffs.

Going out to vote is jmportant and it’s a lot like going to a bar in 2019. You might not like any of the options but it’s better to choose a schooner of pne of the 12 NEIPAs to make sure you don’t get a milkshake IPA. Also the polling station has exposed brickwork and filament lightbulbs.

Mad how we all spent 4 years drinking out of jam jars and now everyone just pretends it never happened.

Not beer related but seeing some debate on the timeline about date format and the hill we will die on is that months are a waste of time. Today should be 124/2026.

CAPS ARE BACK IN STOCK! KEEP THE SUN OUT OF YOUR EYES AND SUCHLIKE! pilotbeer.co.uk/caps

Our hip hop themed brewery failed because while we thought we’d written a thorough business plan we couldn’t actually deliver any beer because we forgot about dray.

WE FIXED THE CANNING MACHINE*! And, lo, you can now get your grubby hands on Post Pink, a pink grapefruit, pink peppercorn and pink salt gose! So the beer's pink right? The beer's pink? No. The beer is beer coloured. pilotbeer.co.uk/postpink
