Live music returns to the taproom, with Twilight - a brilliant three-piece acoustic band, playing blues and country covers. Sunday 15th February, from 1800-2000. 8 Sail Brewery, Heckington Windmill, Heckington. Good beer, good music and good company. Don’t miss it! #heckington #sleaford

An old-school "Victorian Porter" deserves an old-school glass. Another great beer from @8sailbrewery.bsky.social , who seem to relish in crafting a range of both traditional and contemporary beers. Roasted coffee flavours dominate, and it's yet another winner from the team at 8 Sail. #BskyBeer

Cheers Geoff 🍻

We’ve shared this lovely feedback over on our instagram, and you can find it here: www.instagram.com/p/DTGWTknimR... #BskyBeer #PaleAle

This is beautifully light and fresh, "Smash" (Harlequin) single malt and single hop pale from @8sailbrewery.bsky.social Incredible flavours. If you found this in a pub or a taproom you'd be blown away- and I've now got (yet another) favourite hop. #BskyBeer

I'm back to work tomorrow (for one day only), so to ease the blow I'm tucking into "Old Colony" American East Coast pale from @8sailbrewery.bsky.social . I've had this before and am pleased to report it's still fantastic, with the cascade hops doing their thing. #BskyBeer

Thanks Geoff

A very Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2026 to all our customers, friends, supporters and neighbours, from all of us at 8 Sail Brewery. We value your support. #BSkyBeer #Brewery #Lincolnshire

Last one this week from me. On a windy weekend, the beer chooses itself! The excellent Millstone from www.8sailbrewery.com in Heckington, home of the famous 8 sailed mill.

🍺 8 Sail Brewery Bar, Heckington, Lincs: snug, wood-panelled taproom in the shadow of the (unusual) eight-sailed windmill. Their refreshing 4.2% Froglet has a gentle bitterness. One of the guys who works here is a Boston Utd fan and will be at tomorrow's match. ⚽️

Heckington Windmill, Lincs. The only surviving eight-sailed windmill in the UK. There’s an excellent little microbrewery (8 Sail Brewery 🍻) on site too. #WindmillWednesday #Windmill #Heckington #Lincolnshire #LincolnshireLife

Victorian Porter 8 Sail Brewery, Lincolnshire Excellent 8/10

Stopped off at the famous Heckington 8 sail windmill on the way back from #FolkEast. Last visited it in 2013 and the 8 Sail Brewery wasn’t open then. Brown Ale in the glass and Damson Stout and Imperial Porter (10%) in the bottles. #Beer #BskyBeer

This is an absolute delight! #8SailBrewery Imperial Stout. 10% alcohol mixed with roasted malt, chocolate and liquorice! #Stout #beer #Bskybeer
