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

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.

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

Disappointed to announce that while muggins here fought a long and brave fight for this in the planning meeting it was ultimately voted down by a record margin.

Yes, delighted to announce that after several days rummaging through the manual like Russell Brand looking for his favourite bible verse that he's definitely seen before we're up and running again. Cans out shortly...

Still can’t believe we got the drinks contract for the White House press dinner last night. Had gone to bed before it started so let’s just check in now and see how it went.

The good news is that after a couple of days of the canning line chucking out seams that were about as firm as Graham Linehan's grip on reality we seem to have finally fixed it and *should* have a new beer out next week...

Do we want to rip the piss out of the "brewed by the SAS" lager launch we've just seen? Of course. But are we going to? No. Is that because we're cowards? Yes. You can read us like a book. And certainly not a good book like Bravo Two Zero by Andy McNab, which actually improves with every read.

Generational divide in the brewery between those of us who start cackling about Dorian whenever 6 Music play Wesley Joseph and those who just stare at us blankly.

No, there was simply no way anyone could have known he was dodgy.

Petition to get the Americans to negotiate on behalf of landlords when agreeing new brewery rents.

This feels a lot like the time we got beaten to a marketing award by Brewdog and just claimed we’d won it anyway.

We will also not be sponsoring the Wireless Festival.

- Any plans for Good Friday, Dave? - Nope, going to come in to work. - Why though? You'll be the only one in in the entire Met Office. - No reason.

We haven't looked at Untappd in years and tbh the only thing we miss about it is being able to tell when we had beers on in Yorkshire whenever the "'Ow much for a pint???" reviews started coming in.

Apologies for the lack of #content on here recently, we've been interning at the Met Office naming storms.

Hi @joanireid.com and thanks for the orders. Just checking, they're both going to Faslane but to two different recipients, is that right?

Not that we're particularly curmudgeonly or anything but when we're in charge anyone responsible for a corporate or media April Fools gag will be first against the wall.

The real reason we stopped fining and filtering our beer was so that whenever we see a picture of the rank twat Farage pretending to be a normal person and drinking a pint of something crystal clear we can be certain it’s not one of ours.

We all enjoy an IPA but would you believe no-one knows what IPA stands for? Lost in the mists of time.

Planning a 1980s Olympic swimming themed dark lager with a really nice rich colour. A dunkel good hue.

Lactose in an IPA is like Jimmy Carr in Last One Laughing.

Someone in our production planning meeting suggested an Easter beer and got arrested.

For those of you struggling to understand the BoE's imminent raising of interest rates to curb inflation driven by rocketing energy prices due to a senseless war, here’s a brewing analogy: imagine if us, a brewery, did something mind-numbingly stupid because we were bad at our jobs.

Good. Sick of celebrities stepping on our turf making booze. You don’t see us playing Barbie like Margot Robbie or being total cunts like Jeremy Clarkson.

Wish 20% of the world’s milkshake IPA went through the Strait of Hormuz.
