Enjoying this beer. Drinking a Buxton Brewery Fresh Pulp DDH NEIPA. Passion fruit tropicalness. Would recommend. #BskyBeer

Time for a beer. Drinking a fantastic local brew - a Nidd Mild from Harrogate Brewing: a dark, malty ale with hints of roasted coffee, tobacco and liquorice (I read somewhere). Very nice too. #BskyBeer

Superb insight into pub closures by @laurenleek.eu Thanks @ppudney.bsky.social for sharing. #SavePubs

It’s the Friday sweet spot. Kids having tea and quiet. Dog walked. Gonna have a beer and watch that new MacKenzie Crook sitcom. Drinking a Neon Raptor Button Masher NEIPA. Cheers all #BskyBeer

Struggled with Booker winners over the years. But thought this book was absolutely sensational. What a skill to make you care about a monosyllabic character who says ‘ok’ more than 500 times. Brilliant. #BookSky #NowReading

It’s stopped raining in North Yorkshire! There’s blue skies! #DogsOfBluesky

After a dry (a dull) Jan got the urge for a few beers. Drinking this lovely Our Woods pale ale from the ever-reliable Polly’s. Cheers all. #BskyBeer

It is the source of so many of our evils: the astonishing concentration of wealth in the hands of a very few, and the immense political power that gives them. We cannot solve our problems until we tackle it. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Really enjoying this pint - a Jacky Boy black stout in the Helmsley Brewing Co taproom on the cobbled streets of #Whitby. Used to be a Whitby Jet museum I believe - now a lovely drinking establishment in a historic building. #BskyBeer

Blustery cold wet walk for the dog from Whitby to Sandsend. Blown a few Xmas cobwebs away. #DogsOfBluesky

Pint of Two by Two session IPA in the Holy GrAle in #Durham with my lad. Think it used to be an old shop. Now a bustling community local with an amazing beer selection. Well recommended. #BskyBeer

Lovely in-laws in Durham. Drinking a Durham Brewery Dark Angel in the fantastic Station House micro pub, under the famous viaduct. Well worth a visit. #BskyBeer

Work done. Having a beer. Drinking a mighty fine North Brewery Heptagon DDH IPA with a rewatch of The Wire - some of the finest a tele ever. Cheers all. #BskyBeer

Beer time. Drinking a @turningpointbrewco.bsky.social Wavelength mosaic pale in Major Tom’s Social bar - one of my fav places in #Harrogate #BskyBeer

Putting the Xmas tree up with the kids is always a happy day in our house. Drinking a suitably rich and warming Cocoa Wonderland from @thornbridge.bsky.social - a brewery that never lets you down. #BskyBeer

Beautiful winter’s day here in Nidderdale. I like this time of year. There’s a quietness to the woods and fields. #DogsOfBluesky

Drinking a @northernmonk.bsky.social x Wiper and True collab Dark Matter imperial stout while the dog watches intently as our lad eat his tea. Fantastic beer this. #BskyBeer

Beer time. Drinking a DDH IPA from @northernmonk.bsky.social while watching animal rescue programmes with dog-mad daughter. Happy Friday #BskyBeer gang.

Friday beer. Love it. Drinking a Beak Parade IPA. Absolutely perfect. Along with Kernel and Verdant, my fav brewey I think. #BskyBeer

Nice to see US Bluesky happy! I think that’s a first after the past year. Yay. 🙌

Work done. Beer time. Visiting aged mother. Spoons is the only option by her house sadly. But hey, Jaipur under three quid? This the norm? Crikey. Happy Friday #BskyBeer

One or two lunchtime pints after a nice dog walk. Drinking a Dark Horse Brewery Hetton pale ale - creamy and smooth golden pale ale. In great condition in the Crown in Pateley Bridge. #BskyBeer

Enjoyed this piece. I don’t recognise the country that the right-wing rags malign every day, as they cosy up to the crazy billionaire-funded US right.

First beer of a busy working week. Drinking a Salt brewery double IPA. From Asda no less. Doing the trick, no bother at all. Have a good evening beer fans. #BskyBeer

On squirrel patrol. Fortunately the slowest dog in the world. So no danger. #DogsOfBluesky #ItalianSpinone

The after work Friday pint of cask in a busy village local. My idea of heaven. This time a perfect pint of Boltmaker from @timothytaylors.bsky.social. Cheers all. #BskyBeer

Last day in lovely Sicily. Why don’t we have little things like this in the UK? 100% electric. 100% cute.

Dozens of Britain’s most prized pubs for beer have closed in the past year – see the full list https://www.europesays.com/uk/449047/ A wave of pub closures has claimed a string of locals that have been lauded for the quality…#uk #news #uknews

Seeing in Friday in style with a beer from my all time favourite brewery. Drinking a @kernelbrewery.bsky.social pale ale in the Cold Bath Brewery in #Harrogate. Cheers all #BskyBeer

Nice walk round Thruscross Reservoir in #NorthYorkshire with the kids and dog. Water levels still so low though, despite an absolute drenching last few days. #DogsOfBluesky

Proper Job in cans. Some say it’s not the same as the bottles. But tastes good to me. Cheers all. #BskyBeer

Week in #London keeping my old mum company. Drinking a pint of Deya Steady Rolling Man at the Parcel Yard at Kings X. I know it’s a good pint. And it’s an alright pub in a prime spot. But £9. Ouch. #BskyBeer

A quarter of your energy bill has gone in straight profit to the privatised energy corporations Anyone out there still think they shouldn't be renationalised? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A genuinely absurd dog. Who chooses to sleep like that? #DogsOfBluesky #ItalianSpinone

Weller rightly lauded for the Jam and his solo stuff - but the Style Council are underrated. Brilliant album this. Tune after tune.

Great day watching my wife and her 76 year old dad complete the Great North Run. Get a bit choked up watching so many people push themselves so hard for good causes. Love it. #GreatNorthRun

Showing my age here - but it’s hard to think of a better TV programme than this. It’s was a genuinely wonderful experience, and I still watch it now.

Friday traditional. Take the kids up the village local for a drink and a chat to discuss our working / school week. Means I get a decent pint of cask - this week it’s a Theakston best. #BskyBeer

Happy Friday, #Bluesky collective. Drinking a very quaffable Whitby Brewery Yorkshire bitter in my garden. Cheers all. #BskyBeer

Spot of camping in Robin Hoods Bay with our kids and the hound. Drinking a @northernmonk.bsky.social Bobbi Abbey hazy IPA and enjoying the sunshine. #BskyBeer #DogsOfBluesky

Gentle giant this breed. The lovely Italian Spinone. #DogsOfBluesky

Friday evening. Shut laptop. Get to the pub. Drinking a @turningpointbrewco.bsky.social Disco King APA, a very fine beer, in my favourite spot in my adopted hometown of Harrogate - the Cold Bath Brewery. #BskyBeer

Out with mates in #Harrogate tonight. Starting with a bit of an old classic that now seems to have achieved hipster status. Drinking a well-kept pint of Bass in Hales Bar. #BskyBeer

You cannot beat a Friday night beer. Drinking a @thornbridge.bsky.social Hazy Jaipur in the garden, as the dog snoozes in the heat and the kids run wild. Cheers. #BskyBeer

Lovely walk through the fields to the pub in the next village. Drinking a Moorhouses Pride of Pendle amber ale. Perfect. #BskyBeer

Quiet walk round the lane with the dog. As a born and bred Londoner, I can’t believe how much I love living in North Yorkshire. It’s beautiful. #DogsOfBluesky

Is there anything finer than a perfect pint of @timothytaylors.bsky.social cask in the local on a sunny Saturday afternoon? #BskyBeer

Got a lot to learn about rural life. Got chased by the cows across the field on the dog walk tonight, including a comedy trip. Need a stiff drink. Relying on a classic - Theakston Old Peculiar. Lovely drop. #BskyBeer #DogsOfBluesky

Sometimes a writer just blows you away. A simple sentence, just a few words, and you think ‘wow’. I’ve loved this book. The Safekeep from Yael Van Der Wouden. Fantastic. #BookSky

Absolutely classic beer this one. One of the many breweries based in the area we lived between Walthamstow and Tottenham. Drinking a lovely Pale Fire pale ale from Pressure Drop. Happy Friday all. #BskyBeer
