Barnsley Beer Festival, 11th to 13th June. barnsleycivic.co.uk/event/barnsl...

New guest on our bar from the brilliant Verdant Brewery #BskyBeer #headington #oxford #caskbeer #craftbeer

An invite to all CAMRA branches to help Wakefield CAMRA celebrate 50 years of campaigning for real ale and pubs. We are taking over the bar at the Red Shed in Wakefield, which is celebrating its 60th birthday this year, on the 7th/8th August with special beers from Wakefield breweries. CU there!

Adorable young kestrels surprised by a butterfly.

Andy Burnham has pledged to CUT BIZ RATES FOR PUBS by 20%. He says Labour got it wrong; pubs are unfairly targeted with damaging tax rises. More must be done to take pressure off/give them breathing space. He said pubs bring people together at a time when Britain is not as connected as it should be

Lovely afternoon at my local brewery. @rogerprotz.bsky.social @batemansbrewery.bsky.social @camraofficial.bsky.social

Breaking news: "West Ham can confirm that Joint-Chair David Sullivan has stepped down from his position with immediate effect." Impending publication of serious historic allegations. His departure, following Karen Brady, will be a great new chapter for the club, long called for by fans. #WestHam

Thanks @robajackson.bsky.social @camrapotteries.bsky.social. The Vine, Pittshill, Stoke-on-Trent. Closed in Covid, re-opened, restored. Back street Victorian gem, outstanding interior, small rooms & snugs. Winner of @camraofficial.bsky.social prestigious Heritage Award, now a thriving community pub

One more day to go, come over and support, they are also supporting a fantastic local charity. Give it a go, what could go wrong @beersinchester.bsky.social @editorcamra.bsky.social @rogerprotz.bsky.social @johnbagatelle.bsky.social

Fresh keg of Brasserie de la Senne's sublime, fresh, hoppy Brussels Calling at 't Brugs Beertje. Happy weekend everyone! 🍻

100 years ago: "The alcohol content of the beer on sale was reduced and prices were increased." Sound familiar? Also Gretna & Enfield, latter home to the Lee Enfield Rifle.

So far another good day at Lords. England's Barmy Army in full throat: "Here's to you Ollie Robinson - England needs you more than you will know!" #EnglandCricket #ENGvNZ

A Last Orders pint of Bass, backlit by a battery operated candle in the Tynemouth Lodge #BskyBeer

This week in Dublin pub-bothering, we are back at a pub that's more like, well, a pub: The Merry Cobbler. #SpeirGorm www.weirdodublinpubs.com/weirdo-guide...

What an amazing day of Test Match Cricket! 16 wickets!Our bowlers were superb. What a comeback for Ollie Robinson! My refreshment for the afternoon: Badger Pale Ale & @sirencraftbrew.bsky.social Strong Dark Ale. Barley Wine not just for Xmas - perfect for #EnglandCricket #ENGvNZ

Happy #DevonDay one and all...

#MildMay has passed, but thanks to all those who supported the campaign to revive the historic style there's been a mini-renaissance in recent years. Not just regional breweries but some craft brewers have embraced it. Mild's not just for May

My dog, recently, trying to look deep and philosophical on a beach.

This weekend we were joined by @camraofficial.bsky.social Chairman Berkshire South East, Kevin Lenton with an award for the team to mark ten years, presented by Deputy Mayor of Wokingham Town Council, Cllr Alexandra Domingue in recognition of our continued work with local charities.

Rather pleasing juxtaposition between the walkway above a thundering motorway & the beautiful countryside & fine pubs it leads to on the Leeds Country Way.

Jeff takes us through the unique beer that is Grodziskie. I tasted many versions of this delicious and refreshing beer while judging and socialising in Kraków a few years ago. Yum www.beerandbrewing.com/grodziskie-p...

Passed a favourite pub yesterday, historic coaching inn #WhiteHartSouthMimms. Hoarding announces developers' plans for its future. Battle lost. An iconic pub closing changes the neighbourhood, the war memorial & annual Xmas tree in front, ancient church behind. Centrepiece gone.

Was listening to an interview with Rose Wang COO @bsky.app on Sky News when they cut to the Peter Murrell hearing, but what an absolute blast of fresh air is #Bluesky compared to Musk & "X". If only more would come across!

Brew day! Today is a Scottish export which is for our beer swap with the Cardiff home brew club in July, anyone else brewing at the moment? #beer #beeroclock #newcastle #homebrew

What a weekend 🙌🏼 We turned 10 in true Elusive style - amazed by the turnout, and how many kegs were kicked!! We’re still a bit over-excited from all the festivities so we’ve extended our 20% discount code BIRTHDAYBIGGIE for another week on all Elusive cans and merch online to say THANK YOU! ❤️

Perfect afternoon pint. @kernelbrewery.bsky.social Spring Pale Eclipse on cask at the peerless @thegreengoddesspub.bsky.social

Love this map of the Wirral in the Lazy Landlord #Wirral

Thanks Martin. The world's longest tramline running from the Dutch to the French border. Stunning views & some excellent bars at the stops along the way. #BelgianCoastalTram

Making the trip worthwhile. Superb de dolle export stout on draft at Bruges Beertje. Coffee and roast notes with a slight tartness. Sublime. Easily one of Belgium's greatest beers. Worth risking the pub guard dog for

A stop off on the way from Cafe De Hoptimist into Bruges centre for a Brouwers Verzet Super NoAH blond at Bernie's on Vrijdagmarkt. A shade under 5% citrus blond, perfect for the weather. Plenty of room inside as people obviously opt for pavement seating

Irises, swan and swanlets by the towpath. Stainforth and Keadby Canal, Ealand.

Round 2 at De Garre. What could possibly go wrong? 🤣 🍻

My latest beer reviews for Drinks Retailing.

From yesterday’s print version of The Guardian - my obituary for my beloved Des.

Today is the 80th birthday of Michael Hardman, one of the four founders of @camraofficial.bsky.social, its first Chairman & its driving force. If you're in a pub today, please raise a glass to Michael in honour of his contribution to Cask Ale.

A welcome return of the Bass @beersinchester.bsky.social @editorcamra.bsky.social @rogerprotz.bsky.social

Just finished Legacy, Alan Judd, 2001 Cold War spy novel, story of divided loyalties with Judd's experience of Govt/the military. Ends with confrontation of Russian/British spies, Southwold. Evocative description of Adnams Swan, dunes of Walberswick, rather good pub on the other side of the harbour.
