There was indeed! www.pelliclemag.com/home/2021/7/...

I'll be signing copies of 'Made in Manchester' and 'Northerners' at the wonderful Waterstones Altrincham on Saturday 22nd November, 5.30-6.30pm. It's the evening when the town's Christmas lights are switched on.

I think that I may just about detest the "word" "Crushable" more than I do the term "Craft Beer". Bite me.

“I think the turning point for a lot of people was natural wine and lambics, [as those people] have now started looking at ciders.... " At #ISBF8 (or was it 7?),we had a side event on exactly this, the interface between Mixed-Ferm / Sours and low intervention Cider.

This is something I really wanted to feature at our little bash. And @pelliclemag.com @totalcurtis.bsky.social are just the people to do this justice. There may be some tasters too. This is going to be ace.

Fabulous beers. Exceptional Ciders. And a even better welcome. Go. Treat yourself. You won't regret it.

Fontaines DC might be good and all, but if you want a fabulous Irish band to listen to....

FAO publicans who love cask ale: Joule's is looking for someone to operate The Coopers Tavern in Burton-upon-Trent. They emailed us to ask if we'd share this because, we gather, they really want someone who will be excited to run this particular pub. www.joulesbrewery.co.uk/vacancy/coop...

*reaches for laptop to do #ISBFX stuff* Peanut : "Did someone say 'lap dog'?"

...publish their stuff, whether you're just looking to get into writing or are experienced and have those articles that you just can't seem to get people to pick up the pitches but want them out anyway, get in touch and let's chat about whether there's any legs in this. 🙂

After a while when the writer becomes "trusted" then they'll be able to self-publish rather than just post articles. Later still, they can become "editors" themselves and click the publish button on new writers. It's very much a community type thing. So, if anyone is interested in using it to...

Some of you may remember that back in the summer I was playing around with the idea of a site that was kinda a self-publishing blogging platform thing. Well, I've finally got my arse in gear to get a demo/test version of it working on my dev server at home.

Really looking forward to hearing this talk.

This'll be fun. You should all dress up and come.

We're very proud to be supporters of, and subscribers to, @pelliclemag.com... and you could be too! Please do take a look!

I've figured a compensatory equation for encounters with "The Accursed Song"... 1 hear = 1 Mince Pie. 😁

Exceptional work by @blackjackbeers.bsky.social Back in the day, this works have been called a Best Bitter. And this is a bloody good one.

😘

What a brilliant day, making fabulous beer, with lovely humans. (Bagged an absolute top tier bonus too - not mentioned in the post.... 😂) Read on. Click links. Share please. And Get rid of the last 10 or so tickets. #ISBFX #ComingVerySoon

"Accursed Song" count 2. Today is not a good day....

"The Accursed Song" follows me everywhere. Just now, a car passing...... *Shudders*

"Dip a toe in the ocean, oh how it hardens and it numbs The rest of me is a version of man built to collapse in crumbs And if I hadn't come now to the coast to disappear I may have died in a landslide of rocks and hopes and fears"

We wanted to say a huge thank you to our amazing sponsors this year! Clare from @breweryjewellery.bsky.social will be popping up in the hall with her stunning upcycled craft beer artwork, transformed into unique keyrings, necklaces, bracelets, cufflinks, and much more.

Just over two weeks before we open the doors at Hemsley House - THE BEER LIST IS COMPLETE! If you've been to ISBF before, you're likely now drooling. You'll get to see it soon enough. But I'm (Jim) a tease.... #ISBFX #DontMissOut share.google/fY1otFme2u0i...

Did I say that we have a complete #ISBFX beer list? Well. If you've been to Hemsley House before, you're drooling right now. If you haven't, you should be! It's rather...... Interesting (to say the least) Tickets still available. #ISBFX #Tickets #DontMissOut share.google/ZxipziXe31aj...
