I think I’m down to approx. 450 beer reviews/notes that still need to be formally added to www.dingsbeerblog.com #BskyBeer

Cheers. #BskyBeer

I only use Untappd for my own recording purposes, and think that it’s done terrible damage to the beer scene, but if you’re interested, here I am. #BskyBeer

Beermail. Delighted to finally get this in the US, but I fear it will be in limited quantities. #BskyBeer

Would like to think that @mrpaulrobinson.bsky.social could do something with this. I can’t.

Feeling relative philosophical today and I’ve not yet had a beer. God knows what this could spiral into later on. #BskyBeer

I’m waaaay too old to be entertaining the idea of ever drinking another beer that I ‘might’ like, when there are so many others that I know that I will. #BskyBeer

I strongly suggest that nobody tells me to, ‘calm down’ in relation to my annoyance over modern beer. If you do, I may revert back to my mid-20s self. And trust me, nobody wants that! #BskyBeer

May I humbly suggest that if you’re in a pub at this moment enjoying moments of greatness you might like to glance at this

#BskyBeer Those of you of a certain age, how do you manage to curb your cynicism of the modern beer world? Serious question.

Cheers. #BskyBeer

I guess I’m going to have to write another blog post about me caring more and knowing more than people that work in the beer industry. This pisses me off so much. #BskyBeer

Laking part 2.

Laking.

This week in @thetimes.com - the best pubs in Leeds! Yes, your favourites are definitely here (paywall) www.thetimes.com/life-style/f...

Postmaster American Pale Ale at La Otto Brewing, La Otto, IN.

It’s time for a proper inventory. I gave up collecting and cellaring beer years ago, but it creeps up on you … #BskyBeer I already did the majority of the glasses here; dingsbeerblog.com/glass-invent...

Getting ready for a few hours at the lake. #BskyBeer

More tidying of the database and the displaying of stats for each beer. #BskyBeer www.dingsbeerblog.com

open.substack.com/pub/atjpubs/... Bit of pub reading here, especially if you have a Belgian beer to hand

Oh the Cinzano Bianco! Last bottle … sad #BskyBeer #Fantôme #Belgium

The particular freedom of pubs: social interaction not obligatory, you can just enjoy your beer - Saison Dupont is one to savour - & maybe the music that's playing.

I’m getting increasingly confident and competent with Claude.ai in terms of tweaking the beer database on www.dingsbeerblog.com which itself is making me nervous! All individual attribute scores that were integers now have decimal .0 added. All ‘total scores’ now weighted calculated automatically.

Cheers. #BskyBeer

So @machinehouse on Tavour? Potentially a game changer for me. @baybeerreviews.bsky.social

Planning today. #BskyBeer

Thursday night Roast Potatoes, always a crowd pleaser.

www.dingsbeerblog.com Sensible Beer Talk since 2011. A place to see old school reviews of traditional beer. #BskyBeer

Second time I’ve had these, seem to remember @lewbryson.bsky.social getting very excited.

A half-decent site for reading notes on Belgian beers, English bottled beer, and Germans. If you’re interested in thoughts on traditional styles and some old(er) skool beers from an old guy, take a look. dingsbeerblog.com #BskyBeer

Been seriously tidying up web site. Claude has actually been a fantastic help. A lot behind the scenes, but the stats section for each beer is now much better. Example. #BskyBeer

Cheers. From Soy and Brussels, via Worcester, England to North East Indiana, USA. #BskyBeer

I really WANT to like Dot & Line but the problem never changes. 11 taps, one guest (that’s I’m drinking) and of the other 10 of theirs, 5 Hazy IPAs, another IPA, 2 ‘Smoothie Sours’ and 2 adjunct laden (sugar) stouts. What’s an adult supposed to do? #BskyBeer

Yesterday’s Beermail. #BskyBeer

I hesitate to say this, and I’ll regret it later no doubt, but quite possibly my favorite ‘tome of all time. Definitely top 3. #BskyBeer

Why is so much of the draft beer served in the USA under-carbonated? Part of the problem is inexperienced bar staff, but generally a lot of beer seems permanently served with about a mm of head. Looks shite. #BskyBeer
