Hey! Sorry for the delay with this week's video. We are on the train after a truly MAD 48 hours at St Austell (for Keep Cask Alive s3!) and Utopian a beer for our upcoming festival. Talking of mad, the pastry sour & stout in this week's video are also utterly insane. youtu.be/kyQzSmQaVBQ

Hey all - sorry we missed our upload today. We were so busy at St Austell I never finished up all the upload shiz. I'll send live tomorrow at 4pm instead!

Next month @craftbeerchannel.bsky.social host their annual Love & Beer festival. It’s a celebration of all things beer and homebrewing. Here’s some photos from last year at Hackney Brewery (RIP).

Excited to reveal the line-up for Love & Beer 2025! There are going to be some amazing beers on the day - we have already brewed with Baron and are off to Utopian next week! Link to tix are in our bio!x

One of our favourite live shows!

Hey everyone! Sorry it's a day late but this week's vid is live! I head to the Cape's wine region to visit a brewery that focuses on using native hops, local herbs and spices, and wine barrels. And just days after we visited, one of the beers won the Best Beer in Africa 2025. youtu.be/djJhQgMSDk0

New video! We're still in Cape Town, but this time we're brewing a collab syrah-barrel-aged Baltic Porter with Woodstock Brewing... then hosting a beer dinner for 150 people. Whelp. We also learn about South Africa's prohibition during COVID... www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wtU...

Hey all! Fancy a beer? Brad and I will be at the Pressure Drop tap in Tottenham on Friday from 7pm to try the rebrew of our collab Double Pale Fire, False Azure! Come down and hang with us, have a free half, and maybe a brewery tour!

10 MINS TIL THE FOAM PARTY!

Don't forget we're LIVE on Youtube tonight at 8pm with the one and only Reece from Donzoko, purveyors of foamy beers for good times. Grab some lagers and snacks and tune in! youtube.com/live/lVdbt80...

Hey EVERYONE! WE'RE HITTING THE BEACH! WE JUST CAN'T SEE IT! I'm still in Cape Town, and this week I'm visiting a beachside brewery that's known for making phenomenal hazy beer – but I also find philosophy, great wild ale, and even a lactose beer I don't hate. youtu.be/NGbZibrutfk

And here's the link: www.ft.com/content/27e3...

Baffled and proud to have a feature in @ftweekend.com today! All about the death and hopefully rebirth of British hop farming. Massive thanks to St Austell, Buxton and Farams for the info, and to @petebrownbeer.bsky.social for connecting me.

Hey everyone look a NEW VID! In the first of a four-part series about the beer scene in Cape Town, I visit the amazing Banana Jam cafe – a Caribbean restaurant with a brewery on the first floor that happens to be one of the original craft breweries in South Africa. youtu.be/qOp-vRtfc2A

It's the end of the week. Treat yo'self!

Hey everyone this week's video is now live! Join us as we ask the simple and not at all controversial question of who makes the best IPA in England? And then we drink 20 of them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C55y...

Hey everyone so unfortunately due to being at GBBF this week I've not quite finished the video in time. We're going to send it live at 4pm tomorrow instead – and as it's a IPA blind taste test, and tomorrow is IPA Day... we're gonna call it fate.

Oooook folks! It's time for the second of Brad's summer Low Brau drop! This week he battles the heat and a fiendishly difficult gadget in the quest for slushie macrolager. Then drowns his sorrows with a Pastry Stout. youtu.be/UeL9Y5hF6YY

Huge thanks to our MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social for supporting us in seeking to improve access to our local market. SIBA's ongoing campaiging in this area is vital.

Our chat with @jonnygarrett.bsky.social from the @craftbeerchannel.bsky.social dropped today. A very insightful episode into beer writing and of course the petition to get cask ale recognised as Intangible Cultural Heritage. youtu.be/SiIa9g4Cnpk?...

Hey everyone! After a year of drinking almost exclusive cask ale, Brad and I decided it was high time we "just" had a lager. Ft @teamutopian.bsky.social youtu.be/YT1DtIcqFZ4

It's Beer Day Britain and we'd like to honour the occasion by drawing your attention to @jonnygarrett.bsky.social's piece on his @craftbeerchannel.bsky.social mission to give cask beer a recognised UNESCO cultural heritage status. Cheers! www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/4/...

Public service announcement! I'm not only half price in Waterstones right now, but also next to my absolute heroes @theresthistory.bsky.social

Obituary of Martyn Cornell, scholar of beer and generous supporter of younger beer writers, who has left us all an unrivalled legacy. Seen here on the left with his brother Dave who runs Poppyland Brewery protzonbeer.co.uk/comments/202...

So sad to hear Martyn Cornell has died. He was an inspiration to me as I dug deeper into beer history and very patient with my inane emails about British heritage. He also contributed to many videos over the years including our porter vs stout one youtu.be/RvMsdZdQpkA

NEW VIDEO! This week we meet the archivist at @shepherdneame.bsky.social to be told the brewery is EVEN OLDER than 1698 – then get a tour of the big and little brewhouses, and dig into their PGI status beers. youtu.be/7GXRs580bEw

In this week's episode we are back at Timothy Taylor's for a tour, tasting and frank conversation about how cask ale has priced itself into a corner. youtu.be/UiR2m5XYWOg

I was delighted to contribute to this. Go subscribe to Anthony's newsletter, and God Save the Stubby.

Today's thumb folks! See you at 4pm.x

We published this fantastic call to arms from Jonny yesterday, and threw our weight behind his campaign to get cask ale UNESCO certified

IT'S POD O'CLOCK Y'ALL! I hope you like hearing about Bedford.

NEW VIDEO! Our Under the Radar series is back with a brewery that blurs style lines, takes a unique approach to modern processes, and packages it like no one else. It's St Mars of the Desert. youtu.be/IELJ6JCewQ4

Ecstatic to say The Meaning of Beer took home Drinks Book of the Year at the Fortnum & Mason Awards last night! Huge thanks to everyone who helped me write it and bought it. You can buy the paperback from my local bookshop here (worldwide shipping!) www.davids-bookshops.co.uk/products/the...
