Here’s the round-up of The Session 149 and a bonus article from me on pub food. Lots of great writing from many contributors davidjesudason.substack.com/p/the-sessio...

FIND US GOOD PUB FISH & CHIPS IN LONDON 🐟🍟🍻🙏🏼 It’s the July Edition of The Session, hosted by @davidjesudason.bsky.social and it’s a topic close to my stomach: pub food. Read here: beerinthecity.com/the-session-...

The foam life comes for us all eventually

Lots of incredibly serious content over on our Insta (beerinthecityguides) from the weekend’s beery press trip to Barcelona. Highlights include this nuanced and culturally relevant video

Will you do me a favour and help me tell more people about @pelliclemag.com? We're an award-winning independent beer, wine, cider and food magazine and we need more support! www.pelliclemag.com

Jumping on the band(bass)wagon and honestly it’s really quite tasty. Me and four really, really old dudes drinking it in silence in a tiny carpeted pub in a Welsh village, just like the prophecy foretold

My contribution to this month’s edition of The Session hosted by @beerdiary.bsky.social is live! And can confirm I had more fun writing it than you probably will reading it. Share and Enjoy! beerinthecity.com/the-session-...

It’s got 119th min winner written all over it. Really hope it’s ours #coys

As if it took a weird CGI mouse from Italy to give the UK 12 points 😂 #eurovision

Archie Grey in the creative attacking midfield role, it’s the only position he’s not played yet so may as well go full championship manager

Went to Leipzig for work and now addicted to Gose. Trains home meant I could pretend I went to a gym couriering a large selection of bottles. Working through them still. Love that they’re not too puckering from this part of the world 🍻 and look at that top hat! He knows what he’s doing.

I’ll say it again. The atmosphere at Tottenham Hotspur stadium has never been ruined by the presence of “tourists” or Asian fans. It is your own fault for allowing that to impede on your experience. Let your nuts hang & make it a fortress or shut the fuck up. Stop using that EXCUSE to be racist.

I’ve indulged in @boakandbailey.bsky.social The Session today, with my little piece hosted over on the Insta (hope that’s permissible) www.instagram.com/p/DGnnQ5-tLB...

Last one for now cos realised I hadn’t actually posted it myself, just used others’ reposts, which is very selfish of me. www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/1/...

I know I know, getting a bit repetitive and promise I’ll post about something else by the weekend but tbf the artwork is exquisite so go look at that (then read all the words if you like)

Been an inspiring journey and I’m so pleased to have had the opportunity to get my work out there. Grateful and energised! (uncharacteristically earnest post, deal with it)

It was so great to work with Joey from @beerinthecity.bsky.social as part of the @britbeerwriters.bsky.social mentorship scheme and the end result to be this wonderful investigative yet story-rich piece of writing. Enjoy!

So grateful to all those who have trusted me to bring their story to a wider audience.

Revealing my Spurs allegiance early so anyone who has an issue with the concept of glory in the journey can leave right away. Out of logistical necessity, watching tonight in enemy territory #coys

We love a bit of social media (Insta, this one) but our main home is the website, where you can find our city guides, travel chronicles, and explanations of terminology for people who just want to order a beer without it being unnecessarily stressful www.beerinthecity.com

Right I’ve followed a bunch of you who seem sensible. Follow back and drop me some accounts to follow who are even more sensible. People who won’t try to claim that porter and stout are different, that kind of thing.

Haven’t done a tweet (are they still called that) for several years so need to remember how this works. Do I just say a bunch of random thoughts and hope/assume people care? Are people as kind as they are on Instagram? Do the posts on here have a cute nickname, like Blueys or Skiesies or something?

Guess we’re all hanging out here now 🍻
