And now it's time for the missing words round.

Dude's got a lot of opinions for someone who doesn't know Changing Times is a microbrewery.

Brace yourself, Britain: more bang-average Irish keg beer is coming your way. www.irishtimes.com/business/202...

I always hear this beer's name in the Jan Ravens Liz Truss voice.

On the blog today, what I found on my first time drinking around Glasgow: thebeernut.blogspot.com/2026/06/peev...

My beer of the weekend, since @cagarvie.bsky.social asked, was Lough Gill Hazy Sunshine.

Beer cocktails: it'll catch on this time, lads. I can feel it! 👍

What's the matter, babe? You've barely touched your pint of Guinness Pickle Sour.

I've no idea either where this fruit lager trend is coming from, but Ireland's low-effort Jubel knock-off launched last week.

Jesus loves a matching beer glass 🇧🇪

Popped into Wetherspoons Swords. Great beer and a guy in full on Rab C Nesbitt wife beater. This place never disappoints.

I don't know if I would love this black rye IPA as much if there were loads of black rye IPAs in regular production. But I wouldn't mind finding out.

Time to sit back and unwind.

Pub air-conditioning? I've got your pub air-conditioning right here, pal.

Hazy IPA with a kick? New blog post: thebeernut.blogspot.com/2026/06/scan...

Classic travel anxiety dream there. Hidden departure gate, changed destination, missing travel companions, lost baggage. A real old-school, west-coast-style nightmare.

I'd go further and say Perlenbacher is actively unpleasant.

"Warm regards," "Fuck off."

There's murk lurking on the blog today: thebeernut.blogspot.com/2026/06/the-...

A quick new blog post comparing two Guinness FEs. No, not those ones ...

If I were a manufacturer of crowbars, I don't think I'd be happy to see my product used as the cover illustration of a textbook about crime.

A quick check on Dublin's recent cask ale offerings, on the blog today. Mixed results, you may be unsurprised to hear. thebeernut.blogspot.com/2026/06/half...

My beer of the weekend, not that you asked, was Friends & Co All Citra DIPA.

You know when you fancy a cold radler so put a can in the freezer for a few minutes and then find it again three days later? That.

Döner Summer.

Journalistic catnip. I bet it was a reporter who started the fight. www.rte.ie/news/regiona...

Pre-5pm pint in Doheny & Nesbitt. The Merrion Street life.

Potatoes: two types. Gravy: loads. #carverysnotdead

Charmingly rustic or poorly brewed? You're right to look concerned, Tom. New blog post: thebeernut.blogspot.com/2026/06/endu...

Just encountered the story that smoked beer was supposedly invented as a substitute for smoked meat during Lent. 😂

"Halloween for wankers."

"So Joe has to explain that we’re looking for three pints of stout, as usual. And when the poor barman goes off to get it, the Citizen starts up again about the evils of globalisation and you can’t even get a decent pint any more and Ireland is full and all that claptrap."

Duffy's Bar in Annagry Donegal has all you need for a good night. Beer, cashpoint & a defibrilllator.

How very Irish Times to describe a basic level of road traffic enforcement as a "crackdown".
