@thomastruax.bsky.social Wonderful evening seeing Thomas Truax supporting The Nightingales at The Joiners in Southampton last night. #livemusic #thejoiners #mothersuperior #thenightingales #thomastruax #southampton

@bskybeer.bsky.social Half-term hols, so enjoying a cheeky Mittwoch beer - the last of the cans of Phantom Brewing Co from the beer fridge. This one seemed particularly weather appropriate. Infinite Rain - 8% DIPA. #bskybeer #craftbeer #phantom #reading #indiebeer

Fantastic evening seeing Ben Ottewell and Ian Ball of #Gomez at @thebrooksoton.bsky.social last night. We knew it would be a good gig, but it exceeded all expectations. Vocals to send shivers down your spine! #livemusic #southampton #thebrook

@bskybeer.bsky.social Just came across this at our local craft ale bar, The Bottle & Stoat in Southampton. First time I've had beer from Stardust Brewery and it was very tasty indeed! #saturday #bskybeer #bottleandstoat #craftbeer #indiebeer #stardustbrewery

@bskybeer.bsky.social Kicking off Friday night with Rain, a 'weather appropriate' 5.6% NEIPA from Bearwood Brewery. Cheers, everyone! Happy Friday. #craftbeer #indiebeer #bearwoodbrewery #fridayfeeling #bskybeer

If you see this, post a character that starts with C..

@bskybeer.bsky.social Good to see #UnityBrewingCo finally brewing some different beers. They've been pretty samey since new owners took them over in 2023. Had to try this nutty white stout 'C is for Cookie' - very drinkable, if a bit pricey. #bskybeer #craftbeer #overdraft #southampton #veganbeer

My first #CakeSaturday of 2026. A vegan cherry and almond slice at the wonderful Café Thrive in Southampton. #vegan #cakesaturday #cafethrive #southampton www.cafethrive.co.uk

@bskybeer.bsky.social Can't go wrong with a Floc. beer. 6.5%DDH IPA 'Cutting Loose'. #bskybeer #craftbeer #indiebeer #nearlytheweekend #flocbrewery #canterbury

Fantastic evening at Heartbreakers Bar in #southampton for Dan O'Farrell and the Difference Engine's album launch. Lovely to see it packed out with Southampton music lovers. Excellent support from Charles Bueller and Jack & Bas. A great night out! #hearbreakerssouthampton #livemusic #southampton

@bskybeer.bsky.social Getting Friday night started with a Rush DDH IPA from Floc Brewery #craftbeer #flocbrewery #canterbury #indiebeer #bskybeer #friday

Want to get your #IVW26 outfit ready for next week?... This is your reminder that our shop is open and up on our website, full of fab merch , either as a treat to yourself of a gift to your fellow gig buddy 💛

@bskybeer.bsky.social Took a last opportunity to order a Zot Blonde at Belgium & Blues in Southampton yesterday. It's become too expensive to import. Hope B&B is going to keep going. Everywhere seems to be really struggling at the moment. #belgianbeer #belgiumandblues #southampton #bskybeer

I’ve got a very rare Charizard Pokemon card if anyone wants to trade for a Nobel Peace Prize.

@bskybeer.bsky.social Enjoying a birthday and end of the working week celebratory beer! One of the last of the Phantom beers in our beer fridge - Infinite Rainbows 8% DIPA. Very nice! Phantom will be sorely missed. #phantombrewingco #craftbeer #indiebeer #bskybeer #weekend

Some amazing vegan specials at Piecaramba in Southampton for #veganuary, as well as the usual excellent vegan options. Will have to go back and do this again! #piecaramba #southampton #vegan #veganuary #pieandmash

Would you like an award-winning mash up of news and pop culture to deal with the current shitshow that the world is in? Well you’re in luck as a BRAND NEW series of #TheSkewer starts tonight 11.15 on BBC Radio 4. Also BBC Sounds. Enjoy.

@bskybeer.bsky.social Battening down the hatches, ready for Storm Goretti with an aptly-named 5.6% NEIPA from Bearwood Brewing's Storm Series. #craftbeer #indiebeer #bearwoodbrewing #stormgoretti #bskybeer

Very enjoyable (if chilly) performance by Mummers Play Southampton on 4th January 2026 in St Michael's Square. #mummersplaysouthampton #oldsouthampton #stmichaelssquare #mummers

@bskybeer.bsky.social Been saving this one! Final drink of the day. Can't fit another thing in now!

I see various people posting this up. Here’s me from 2001 talking about AI. Dunno how accurate it is. I hope it isn’t. youtu.be/6mvUqM2Ty5c?...

This year has been challenging for many of us, and the Bookshop is no exception. We hope you’ve sensed the dedication and care behind everything we do, and we truly appreciate all the kindness we’ve received. Wishing you a warm and joyful Christmas🎄

@bskybeer.bsky.social Christmas Radio Times and a Tartarus Jackalope NEIPA - it must be Christmas Eve! Cheers, everyone. Happy Christmas #bskybeer #indiebeer #craftbeer #tartarusbeer

Really sad to hear Phantom Brewing Co in Reading has abruptly shut its doors just before Xmas. They say it's for relocation to a new production facility but that the shutdown will be extended while they prepare for a future relaunch. Really hope this is not the end. #craftbeer #bskybeer #phantom

We've got all your favourite supporting characters. Flimber the Fish, Slicey the Dwarf and Thobber. No need to check what animals look like before drawing them, just have a go.

@bskybeer.bsky.social Well, I wasn't going to drink tonight but with a beer fridge stocked for Christmas, well y'know... This is a very tasty hazy pale from Neon Raptor - Fluttering Kite, with some artwork rather reminiscent of @scarfolk.bsky.social #craftbeer #indiebeer @neonraptor.bsky.social

Nice original press of this in the shop, never stays around for long so pick it up while you can. Open Saturday 11-5. 124 South Road, Waterloo, L22.

@bskybeer.bsky.social Penultimate day at work and time for a celebratory beer! Haven't tried Bearwood Brewing before. This is a very drinkable NEIPA called DRAX. Will definitely be getting a few more of these. #bearwoodbrewing #bskybeer #craftbeer #indiebeer #nearlytheweekend

Just started this - such a good read! #kathyburke

@bskybeer.bsky.social Enjoying a very festive #stouturday Double Barrelled Biskit Speculoos Stout "brewed with dark sugars and specialty malts for layers of caramel, warming spice and a velvety smoothness". Wishing I'd bought a few more of these. #bskybeer #craftbeer #indiebeer #doublebarrelled

Really sorry to hear that yet another of my fave craft ale haunts in Southampton is closing. That's three in the past week. Will really miss Beards and Boards. Lovely vibe and always a great playlist to accompany the beers. #craftbeer #indiebeer #craftalebar #southampton #bedfordplace

@bskybeer.bsky.social Can't ever go wrong with #phantombrewingco. This is definitely a #nearlytheweekend beer! #bskybeer #indiebeer #craftbeer

Very sad to hear that #OverdraftRecords and #OverdraftCraftBeer in Shirley will be closing their doors in December after 10 years. The climate is too tough out there at the moment. Had some wonderful times at this place and it will be missed. #craftbeer #vinyl #records #shirley #southampton

@bskybeer.bsky.social Celebrating buying a ticket for WOMAD 2026 with a seasonally appropriate and really, really drinkable @elusivebrewing.com Carve'n Yams pumpkin coffee porter - biscuity with pumpkin spices! Cheers, everyone. 😊 #nearlytheweekend #elusivebrewing #craftbeer #indiebeer #bskybeer

@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!
