1/3 The Guild board is desperately sad to hear that long-time Guild member and wonderful writer Des De Moor has passed away. The outpouring of stories since the news tells its own story, but Des was one of the industry’s best-loved characters and writers.

My piece on the winning combination of #RealAle and ultra running is in the this months @britbeerwriters.bsky.social members work mailout. Is a 50km pub crawl a good idea? I say it is if you're blessed with living in West Yorkshire 🍻 It's more reliable than public transport as well.
