Excellent glass I drank from recently, the beer inside, not so much.

Maximalist view of Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Amazing bar with all sorts on including cask, but on my trip this time I got Nynashamns Angbryggeri ‘Festbier’ straight from the barrel. Feels more like an older Swedish beer nerd vibe to the punters inside, compared to the young buck brewery bars nearby.

Leigh On Sea Brewery taproom is a unique set up to say the least. It’s a cozy build tucked away behind what I think are office buildings, surrounded by some other office buildings, and industrial estates. The beer is good, the welcome warm. Good spot to chat away the hours.

Spent a lot of my time in Stockholm on a recent trip drinking slushie beer at Omnipollo’s Hatt, and I couldn’t be happier about it.

First visit to The Wenlock Arms. Great cask, cheeky Tennent’s in London, tasty af cheese toasties. Was a lovely place to sit with the doors open, and the sun shining. I’ll be back.

@maristhotter.bsky.social bsky wont let me DM, but thanks again for Saturday. Owe you some pints!

Augustiner Keller is the heaven place on earth that song is on about.

Lovely time in Munich, with a trip to Hirschgarten on the last day. A short way away from some palaces, this biergarten was a nice escape from the heat and maximalism of German royalty. Collect your glass, go to the kiosk, get it filled, and pay. Easy as. Tergernsee Spezial was pouring nicely.

Took some pics at the Coley’s Brewery tto at Port Street Beer House last week.

At the second time of trying we got to The Palm Tree, Mile End Park when it was open, and it was worth the wait. Another world when you stepped in with the lighting. Cash only, circular bar in the middle, really good jazz band playing. Just a shame we only had enough notes for a few of pints.

I’m veggie so didn’t eat the oysters, but I loved The Cow, London, and it was some of the best Guinness I’ve ever had.

If you ain’t matching your pint with your hat then are you even boozing. My first pint of @queerbrewing.bsky.social cask, ‘Bitter Old Queen’ at Chesham Arms.

Pint of Howling Hops ‘Wait for Me’ on cask at The Cock Tavern. The red table, the regular’s hat, the pup on alert; great scenes for a beer.

🍻 🎂 Birthday Weekender Next Week! 🎂 🍻 A little reminder that we’ll be throwing a party all next weekend with some fantastic things going on each day at Balance Taproom.

The internet gods shone down on me this week, and showed me to this second hand beauty.

The Glad First visit to The Gladstone Arms. Solid pints and delicious food. Hopefully get back for a full meal soon.

Every time I’m in London I end up at The Harp, Covent Garden drinking Harvey’s ‘Sussex Best’. One of my favourite pubs, and it was good to be their in the sunshine with the windows open, watching people shuffle by.

Pint of Fuller’s ‘London Pride’ at the beautiful boozer Lord Clyde, Southwark.

Long walk yesterday ended with a can of @trackbrewingco.bsky.social from Tawny Stores by the canal. Lovely stuff.

Another excellent bottle share @balancebrew.bsky.social yesterday. Keep an eye out because we’ll hopefully be doing more of these this year.

American 🐋 🐳 down in Southend at Stoked Vegan BBQ. Amazing place doing tasty af vegan food, with a fridge full of US treats. Pliny is obvs still great, but it’s a testament to the current UK beer scene that it doesn’t feel as far ahead as it once did.

We got invited to Parliament to talk about our UNESCO campaign on the same day that our petition to get cask ale recognised as Living Heritage went live on the government website! Please sign it here: tinyurl.com/kca-petition

This is the definitive version of The Beatles on film, and always will be.

Cheeky T Unashamedly love Tennent’s. Did the tour the other week. A tight hour of info that was interesting and well done. Learning about the German influences on the beer made a lot of sense. The tour also came with a beaut pint of unpasteurised Tennent’s Lager. Crackin’ beer.

Doing a bottle share at Balance on Sunday April 6th. All welcome. Either DM me or email [email protected] to book a place.

The Pot Still Visited twice in two days, its a good spot. Managed to get a vegan haggis pie on the second occasion, delicious. I’m always a little shy about taking pictures in pubs. You’ve gotta find the right moment, don’t wanna disturb people trying to relax or have a good time. 1/2

Come share some booze

Lovely afternoon spent boozing in the bloody amazing Koelschip Yard, Glasgow. First picture is Dookit Brewing ‘Southside Pale’, then carried on the session with a pint of Otherworld Brewing ‘Adrift’.

The Steps Bar Full disclosure I didn’t actually have a beer in Steps Bar in Glasgow, I had to drive back to Manchester so opted for an Irn Bru. I just sat back and admired how lovely the place was

It’s just a pub, aye, but it’s a bloody good one init. My first time in The Laurieston, we went back three nights in a row. Boozed on Tennents, Baby Tennents, Jarl, and the ‘middle’ Guinness. Great looking pub, excellent staff, booze flowing, vibes impeccable. Can’t wait to go back.

ICYMI I wrote a new blog about the cluttered bar of a pub in London. pintsofcask.wordpress.com/2025/03/11/l...

Pint of @roostersbrewco.bsky.social ‘Alpha Female’ for the Spoons beer fest thing. £2.65, mental. Wish I could try those cask collabs from round the world but probs ten of um rolling round London and that’s it.

Possibly the best beers I had in Serbia were at the Gvint Brewery taproom. Real good lagers and the like. Ordered this Irish Red Lager just because I saw the glass and really liked it. It was a bangin’ pint.

How it feels to enjoy an IPA because of its bitterness

One more punt for ya to give me first blog of the year a read. Hopefully get round to a few more this year. pintsofcask.wordpress.com/2025/03/01/b...

Absolute sucker for these little glasses you can get with beers. Wasnt going to drink when I got some bangin’ food at Bao in London, but when I saw this little fella I had to order my own.

Princess Louise Beautiful Sam Smith’s pub in London. Alpine lager hit the spot, then a pint of Dark Mild went down nicely too.

Spent a few days in Belgrade. Highly recommend.
