@bskybeer.bsky.social Quick visit to Belgium and Blues, after seeing the wonderful Susie Dent at #mayflowerstudios in Southampton. Well, of course I had to try the Rivington DIPA Evil Dead 2. #bskybeer #belgiumandblues #rivington #craftbeer #indiebeer #southampton

@bskybeer.bsky.social Kicking off the weekend with Proper Dose from Phantom Brewing Co. Can't go wrong with #Phantom beer. 6.7% ABV medium hazy, gold and creamy. Cheers, everyone! #FridayFeeling #bksybeer #indiebeer #craftbeer #phantom

#Henge at the #1865club in Southampton on Wednesday. Absolutely brilliant evening, and a stage with a carpet. What more could you ask for? #livemusic #southampton #concertphotos

@bskybeer.bsky.social 6.4% ABV Tides California IPA from Double-Barrelled Brewery in Reading. Pale, bright, citrussy and piney. Very nice. One of these days, I'll make it to their taproom. #bskybeer #craftbeer #indiebeer #nearlytheweekend #reading

Such a brilliant gig. #ScottLavene at #heartbreakersbar in Southampton on Sunday. Takes a bit of effort to get out on a Sunday night these days, but so glad I did. #livemusic #gigphotos #southampton

Absolutely brilliant time at The Joiners Arms in Southampton seeing Dogshow last night. #livemusic #livegigs #joinersarms #dogshow #southampton

@bskybeer.bsky.social I've been saving this one for Friday night. Dark Revolution Purple Haze, a 5.8% ABV hazy DDH pale - flavour description mango, guava, grapefruit. Very nice! #darkrevolution #bskybeer #indiebeer #craftbeer

Lovely autumnal stomp on Southampton Common. #autumn #nature #southampton #southamptonoldcemetery

Apparently, it's #WorldVeganDay on 1st November. Celebrating early at #CafeThrive (Southampton) with a big, comforting slab of biscoff cake and a caffeine fix!

Drop an old person you're going to turn into in the future

@bskybeer.bsky.social Enjoying a very tasty Verdant and Wylam Geometry of Sound Hazy IPA for a Thursday night tipple! Nearly the weekend. @verdantbrew.bsky.social #wylambrewery #craftbeer #indiebeer #bskbeer

Well that was gruesome. Alfred Hitcock's Frenzy at Harbour Lights Picturehouse. Apparently, the script was so distasteful that Michael Caine, Helen Mirren and Vanessa Redgrave all refused roles. Interesting early 70s London scenery and cars though. #harbourlights #southampton #cinema #hitchcock

@bskybeer.bsky.social Just about warm enough for a post-work beer in the garden. A full-bodied Post-Impact Porter from local brewery, @staggeringlygood.bsky.social #bskybeer #indiebeer #craftbeer #nearlytheweekend #portsmouth

@bskybeer.bsky.social Happy Friday, everyone! Celebrating the end of the working week with a Beak Peach IPA, described as a 'hazy banger of an IPA with flavours of nectarine, lime zest, tangerine and overripe peach'. As usual, going down far too quickly! #beakbrewery #craftbeer #indiebeer #bskybeer

Southampton & District Transport Heritage Trust's 'Classic Bus Spectacular' in Pound Tree Road, Southampton City Centre on 28.9.25. Fantastic morning, with bus rides through Portswood & through Shirley on a Guy Arab. #classicbusspectacular #southampton #heritagebus #classicbus

@bskybeer.bsky.social Post-gardening reward beer! Back to an old favourite I've not had in a while - ABV 6.5% Vibrant Forest Kaleidoscope - a very hoppy, juicy, citrusy pale ale. Lucky to have Vibrant Forest Brewery quite close by. #bskybeer #craftbeer #indiebeer #vibrantforest #newforest #vegan

#OnThisDay 1971 : The first edition of The Old Grey Whistle Test was broadcast on BBC2. The original run ran until 1988 with a one off special in 2018. #70s (TV listing : @woodg31.bsky.social)

@bskybeer.bsky.social Quick visit to Phantom Brewing Co taproom in Reading yesterday. So much to choose from and so little time. Went for a Savage Shark Attack IPA and Skin Crawlers Black IPA (pictured). #bksybeer #phantombrewingco #craftbeer #indiebeer #reading

@bskybeer.bsky.social Just about warm enough for a post-work garden beer. Geometry of Sound - a juicy 6.5% IPA brewed by @verdantbrew.bsky.social and #wylambrewery delivered in our Bitterne Box Co veg box this week. #bskybeer #craftbeer #indiebeer #nearlytheweekend

@thecatreviewer.bsky.social I regularly spot this gentle, fluffy senior citizen next to a very busy main road on my way to swimming. 10/10 for being quietly affectionate, but in a cool and off-hand way, and for being completely unfazed by a hair-raisingly hectic main road.

A few quick snaps from @endoftheroadfestival.com at the Larmer Tree Gardens before the inevitable rain and mud. #eotr #goatband #youthlagoon #trevorpowers #daisyrickman #festivals #livemusic #concertphotos

@bskybeer.bsky.social Off to @beautifuldaysfest.bsky.social tomorrow and have been saving this one as my reward beer once all the camping stuff has been lugged from the car and the tent is up. Wylam Slasher 6.66% ABV! #bskybeer #indiebeer #craftbeer #wylambrewery #levellers

@bskybeer.bsky.social Came across a couple of #tartarus beers at Belgium & Blues in Southampton this afternoon, so had to stop and try them. So rare to find Tartarus on tap around here. This is the Cactus Puma. #bskybeer #beersky #craftbeer #indiebeer #tartarusbeers #belgiumandblues #southampton

@bskybeer.bsky.social Just been on a brief visit to York. Called in at The Hop on Fossgate. Very happy to find an @indierabble.bsky.social chocolate & vanilla stout - 'All That Jazzies'. #bskybeer #craftbeer #indiebeer #york #indierabble

I just verified my age by dialling 01 811 8055.

@bskybeer.bsky.social I'm kicking off the weekend with 6.5% Hop Father from Dark Revolution Brewery, based in Salisbury. Peach, blueberry, tropical, very hazy. #bksybeer #indiebeer #craftbeer #darkrevolution

A few quick snaps from the Southampton Mela Festival in Hoglands Park earlier today (before it got too hot). It's a free festival organised by Art Asia and has been running for two decades now. #melafestival #southampton #hoglandspark #artasia

I've found some shade and a breeze in the garden after a very hot day at work with "The Original Speed Gnome" hazy, dry-hopped 5.8% New England IPA from @indierabble.bsky.social. Worth it just for the can artwork alone! Lovely stuff. #bskybeer #indiebeer #craftbeer #indierabble

Excited to be part of the “Rooted in Light” exhibition at Gallery Grounds in Southampton. Five of my New Forest panoramas will be on display. The exhibition opens this Friday (4th) and runs until July 22nd. #southampton

Your Community Top Friday #BskyBeer last night Join @bskybeer.bsky.social use #BskyBeer and let the 500 members share your #Beer #Craftbeer around the world like these below (I even got myself on this week😂) Cheers all 🍻

@bskybeer.bsky.social It's Friday, it's 5 o'clock, the ice cream vans are circling, I'm barefoot in the garden and it's time for a 6% Beak Locals IPA in the sun. #indiebeer #beakbrewery #craftbeer #bskybeer

@bskybeer.bsky.social Much needed cold beer before catching #goatband at Glastonbury. A #Wylam collab with #NorthernMonk - Shades of Green, a juicy, hazy 6.5% IPA. Hoping our local craft ale supplier will get more Wylam beers in over the coming weeks. Lovely stuff! #craftbeer #indiebeer #bskybeer

#nowplaying The Small Faces "Sunday Afternoon"

@bskybeer.bsky.social Broke free from work early. Straight into the garden with a WxY6 7% Southern Hemisphere IPA - a Wylam collab with Yeastie Boys described as soft yet punchy (and also, it turns out, far too drinkable). Happy Friday, everyone! #bskybeer #indiebeer #craftbeer #wylam #yeastieboys

If you see this, post an image you saved because it made you laugh

Really lovely event for the Waterside Arts Festival, held at Vibrant Forest Brewery near Hythe. Live music and art with lots of vegan craft ale. #livemusic #craftbeer #watersideartsfestival #newforest #vibrantforest

Visit to Vibrant Forest Brewery yesterday for an afternoon of music and beer as part of Waterside Arts Festival. Found this lovely collab between Vibrant Forest and @indierabble.bsky.social in the beer fridge. Very refreshing New England IPA. #beersky #indierabble #vibrantforest #newforest #craftale

@bskybeer.bsky.social Not often I spot Tartarus beers in the wild, so had to stop and try this on my way home today. Hecate - a very delicious 5.8% chocolate coconut stout at Olaf's Tun in Woolston, Southampton. #tartarusbeers #indiebeer #olafstun #woolston #southampton #bskybeer #beersky #craftbeer

@bskybeer.bsky.social Cheers to the weekend! Celebrating with @indierabble.bsky.social 6.8% West Coast IPA - The Mob Reloaded. Citrus, pine and pineapple with a crisp, bitter finish. #indiebeer #craftbeer #bskybeer #beersky

Been winking at me from the beer fridge for a while now. Bit indulgent for a school night but it's wonderful stuff. 8.4% Pass in Time by Floc in collab with Estonia's Põhjala. Imperial porter with deep, roasted malt flavours and notes of dark chocolate and coffee. #bskybeer #indiebeer #flocbrewery

@thecatreviewer.bsky.social This chilled out farm cat was at Purbeck Valley Folk Festival in August 2024, totally oblivious to all the crowds, children, music, drumming and general festival mayhem. 10/10 for being a totally cool cat and not letting anything get in the way of a good nap.

@bskybeer.bsky.social Rewarding beer after an afternoon of gardening. Very drinkable 7% Oat Cream NEIPA 'Ice Pirates' - a collab between #disruptionISbrewing and #trappedundericebrewing (a brewery based in Eastleigh, Hants) to the background noise of Arsenal beating Southampton at St Mary's Stadium.

@thecatreviewer.bsky.social Catbed Truck? Very friendly, but very determined to stay guarding the truck at all costs. 10/10 for neighbourhood duty.
