Special thanks to the man below for doing all the real work and providing the recipes for these beers. It was great fun for us brewing these beers.

There is a new @londonbeercity.bsky.social out today, featuring the King's Road and a pub called the Queen Charlotte. You can get it for free by signing up here: www.willhawkes.net/london-beer-...

Also, this movie is phenomenal!

After a couple of years of mostly just brewing core beers, and paying down covid debts. We’ve been super busy doing things over the last month.

All that really matters at this stage.

Taking myself out for a haircut and a couple of afternoon pints. Looking forward to finding a nice corner to read this in.

Pure greed, built a great business, but it was never enough, grow, grow, grow… Exploited the goodwill of so many staff, customers and industry pros.

Sunflower in Belfast, great little corner pub with 1 handpump serving local Boundary Pale Ale on our afternoon visit. Yard outside with pizza van. Came back in the evening for the Manouche gypsy swing band followed by folk club upstairs.

I long for a time when very obviously being completely full of shit was enough on its own to mean you weren’t taken seriously. Now it seems to be a big selling point. More shit equals more clicks. All of a sudden the idiot is in charge.

Autumn in Vermont

It’s not every day you hire two new brewers. Guess not being on twitter for 6 months have filled me with optimism. So we’re just fucking going for it 😬

Amazing!!! Personal best 800m too. Well done to her. 🥈 Silver!

Interviewing people this week, as exciting as bringing someone new in is, I don’t love the process. Thankfully we’ve got some strong candidates to choose between, even if that makes things harder.

Everyone in Cabra seems to be firing into the solar too. Walking around there seems to be four or five different companies doing installs at the moment.

Setting up a bar for a beer festival for the first time in years. All the memories! #dublinbeerfestival

That’s pretty embarrassing.

Me when I’m invited to literally any social event

I’ve thought about it and I’m out. Can’t imagine the heating situation in the Áras is great.

PRIVATE EQUITY KILLS EVERYTHING IT TOUCHES

1/3 Great great beer writing again, by @pelliclemag.com respectably Master Cicerone @robmackay.bsky.social A fantastic story about one of the most iconic beer brands I know: Scottish @tennentslager.bsky.social www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/8/...

We’re hiring. I hear we are ok to work for. But definitely ask around. All help spreading the word appreciated. ie.indeed.com/m/viewjob?jk...

Football and brewing - mainstays of Dublin working class life - have experienced stunning revivals in recent years, after a couple of rocky decades. And they’ve achieved them hand-in-hand A proper Dublin feel-good story, at @pelliclemag.com

Blown away by this. Can’t thank @pelliclemag.com @eoghanwalshbxl.bsky.social @totalcurtis.bsky.social @katiematherkm.bsky.social enough for including us in this brilliant article! Super grateful, thank you so much 🙏 #uptheBohs

An absolutely wonderful piece, with a lot of names locals will recognize (so also a #SpeirGorm heads-up, not just for beer nerds). 😉 And I adore the art - love this take on Dalymount.

I really enjoyed this read. Not least because of the familiar faces, names & places from when I was active in beer before leaving Dublin. I was probably sitting near @stephenclinch.bsky.social in the Porterhouse years ago, when a mate and I also started brewing 😁 Dublin feels a different place now.

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/...

What a wonderful article featuring some Dublin beer people a few of you will know.

In the course of writing this I was LOI-pilled. Absolutely radicalised by the Greatest League in the World

Peter was a great man, super friendly, infectious positivity, a great laugh and fantastic company. One of the good ones. RIP.

The most shocking thing about BrewDog’s announcement today that it is closing ten bars, is that the closures include all the ones that used to be really good, that people used to travel to get to. Aberdeen, Camden, Shepherd’s Bush, Leeds, Shoreditch… these are the bars where BrewDog was built.

Beoir is very saddened to learn of the tragic death of former Franciscan Well brewer Peter Lyall, a good friend from our earliest days. RIP.

There is a NEW @londonbeercity today, featuring beer buses, new festival venues, taprooms and what claims to be the oldest LGBT+ pub in London. You can sign up here: www.willhawkes.net/london-beer-...

First Southwest Airlines flight. Open seating, absolutely mental system.

So many trees, this city makes a hell of a first impression! 🌳 🌳 🌳

Afternoon re-share…

Wouldn’t be my cup of tea, but he’s done a great job with Shel’s, really overachieved winning the league last year. He’s also been great for the league. What next…

These lads do the not beer beer very well!

Heading to Seattle for a few days at the start of July. Can’t remember the last time I was this excited to be going somewhere new.

Big shift in drinking habits as data reveals Irish adults now in line with EU average www.independent.ie/irish-news/b...

The @lighthousecinema.bsky.social are showing this uplifting classic all week, if anyone fancies an escape from all the things!

I suspect not, but it’s a bit early on a Tuesday morning to be hitting me with these deep and meaningful questions!!!!

If anyone offers you a glass of this wine definitely drink it. This is advice from someone that knows nothing about wine other than it’s delicious!!!

Time to post it again.

The world has gone mad. It’s too much technology and data tracking bullshit. It’s just making all our lives harder.

Real Estate agents should be the first people banned from using AI. Everyone else shortly after.

Went for a few beers in Dublin last night, bumped into all the lovely beer people. It was very pleasant.

There’s only one place in the world you can buy Trouble Brewing Dark Arts!

Thank you to the lovely people at @pelliclemag.com for sending their first ever zine. I did have to look up what liminal meant, so it’s fair to say this is both entertaining and educational.
