Finally, a hole in one. Don't really want to change my starter though as (and in no surprise to anyone) it was a the name of a Burning Sky beer..... Wordle 1,603 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Friday night FLOC at All Good Beer.

Stoutmas appears to have started early - this Sureshot was excellent and dangerously didn't taste like 8%.......

Opinion | There is a clear reason why conservatives within and without the UK demonise London: the city is a symbol of multiculturalism.

FAO @beerguidelondon.bsky.social Kill the Car closed last night! If I'd known earlier I'd have detoured past for one before it closed as have been going on and off for years since the days of Brick Lane...... www.instagram.com/p/DQelr1JiD3...

Post work Steady Rolling Man Strata. Let's just say this has improved the day considerably......

Pulp Different Class 30th anniversary Q&A at the Rio Cinema.....

Yay. Priceless. The right column at the right time. And a gleefully English two fingers to the haters.

This is an excellent @pelliclemag.com article on Macintosh Ales.....I have been known to enjoy the odd Saturday afternoon pint in there before dealing with the rest of the day. Must drag @kientan74.bsky.social here one day soon.......

Saturday afternoon at @kernelbrewery.bsky.social

I blame instagram for this. Worth it though.

Well the Clement Atlee was on the way back (assuming I took the DLR back 😇). I now have a cask Double Barrelled 🍻

It's not every Wednesday afternoon you get to see Brian Cox speak (although I see why he has a PhD and I don't......).

It is Bampa day after all and the Kings Arms is 15ish minutes from the office so this was pretty much inevitable......

When someone calls a pub an institution, there are always detractors. But we can't think of a single person who wouldn't agree that The Dog & Bell is exactly that. Will Hawkes joins us again for an insight into Deptford's most beloved pub. www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/9/...

I know it's only Tuesday but am back at the Pocket for the Pomona Island TTO. Both casks are excellent.....

It's Sureshot Tim the Human Fish day so naturally called past All Good Beer for a quick one to decide what to do this evening......may need more thinking time after this 🤣

Walking down to Angel from Highbury Islington (and dodging the chuggers) - be rude not to stop past the Pocket for one and even more so when there's cask @elusivebrewing.com Oregon Trail....

Nothing say Sunday afternoon like a 10(?) year old barley wine at the Kings Arms (and also @thornbridge.bsky.social Jaipur / Union / Wild Swan......)

So clearly there's a reason why I'm not an amateur, let alone professional, photographer but the @kernelbrewery.bsky.social 1890 export stout is exceptional.......

So Gravity Well didn't happen (there's tomorrow......) but @kernelbrewery.bsky.social did and can confirm the the @stigbergets.bsky.social collab is excellent......

I have Beak Parade on cask at the Kings Arms. Had worse Saturdays to be honest: Thinking Gravity Well (curious about food van thing) next but any alternative suggestions welcomed......

So I may have sort of stopped off at All God Beer (aka Dayton Cheers) and Big Parade was on draft. Rude not to really......

Each day I am astounded and mortified by this country’s descent into open and brazen racism I am equally astounded and mortified that rather than push back on the malign forces taking us to these dark places - an elected Labour government appears more interested in trying to learn from them

Was at a macro pub last night for some birthday drinks and the options were, well, limited. Ended up with Neck Oil and it's pretty awful stuff now.....and to add insult to injury it was well over £7 🤬 Found Steady at the main bar so was even poorer but happier with the beer.

Two years of doing comics for @pelliclemag.com 🎉 New one chats depictions of hangovers with The Hangover (2009) vs Edvard Munch's The Day After (1895) Read it here: www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/8/...

Oh My Haze (on cask) at the Pocket with @kientan74.bsky.social ......this is glorious.

Stop three. Finally made it to the Dog and Bell......this is an excellent pub.

Second stop - the Villages taproom for a Coaster APA which is quite nice , along with the taproom). Would have been third but Hop Burns and Black don't seem to to draft and, well, cans have been taken this weekend......

Bank Holiday Shirking at the @theshirkersrest.bsky.social

There's worse ways to spend a Sunday - Dalston Cheers, Dodo, Gravity Well and Pressure Drop (with a @trackbrewingco.bsky.social collab and a @bobmort.bsky.social book).

There may have been another detour via 40ft on Blackhorse Road - it's nice and unlike Hackney doesn't feel like a high school chemistry lab.

First time at the Libertalia's Calamity Tank (it's decent.....looks like 11 taps mostly Libertalia but some guests e.g. Neckstamper and Vault) FYI @beerguidelondon.bsky.social

In a rare non beer related tweet I have a coffee and keema toastie at the Stone Mini Market. I could get used to this and not least as it's potentially dangerously convenient......

Bad news - Dogma Craft Beer station not open until 20:00. Good news there's a new Dogma Central 5 minutes away! Svetonik time.

At Double Barrelled (possibly leading @kientan74.bsky.social even further astray......).

The ailing world of Dublin football and the misunderstood world of modern beer got bored of being forgotten and clubbed together. The result? Flourishing scenes for both. @eoghanwalshbxl.bsky.social heads to Dublin to drink beer, watch Bohs, and find out more. www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/8/...

Next stop is the Port Street Beer House. Need to revisit my top five pubs (including taprooms) as this should be in there......I'd move to Manchester just to have this as my local.

Manchester day out (long story). Stop #1 - the @northernmonk.bsky.social Refectory MCR. Starting with a lovely pint of cask Eternal.....

Sunday evening Omnipollo Noa pecan mud cake impy stout and it's absolutely lovely.

Sunday afternoon @pressuredropbrw.bsky.social x @sirencraftbrew.bsky.social Pale Fire Soundwave at All Good Beer Dalston......

So I went walkabout after the Lions match and ended up back down here.....

faroutmagazine.co.uk/nick-cave-co... Nick Cave continues to be a disappointment

Late night detour past the Cock Tavern for a swift @burningskybeer.bsky.social or two.......this Piquette is glorious.

Something lovely for you today, @davidjesudason.bsky.social on The Hope in Carshalton, a pub, a community, and a bohemian underbelly. Also, please enjoy the lovely photography by our own @lilywaite.bsky.social www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/7/...

Yesterday's post Little Summer Beer Bash refresher at the @verdantbrew.bsky.social Seaview Inn......
