The first #MashinMusic of 2026 commences! 💥🥃🌾 Starting off the year with some mixed mashbill mashing and @twentyonepilots. . Recommended by my son, I wonder if our tastes will align or diverge over time. Right now I think he's got a good ear. 👌😁 . #whisky #whiskey #englishwhisky #sláintebab

Spirit of Birmingham 💥🥃🌾

Got a couple to keep in the beer cellar. #SlainteBab 🍻🌾🎄

I taught myself to ferment by making wine about 20 years ago. Don't think I've made any since. So I've just bottled a natural wine made with grapes from a friend's garden. At 9%, it's a bit thin, but smells amazing. Will wash the turkey down quite nicely. 🍷👌

Beer time! Set up our bar for tomorrow @ the drop inn, digbeth. Had a super busy week, and today was pretty full on too! Cheers to the weekend 🍻 when I get even busier 😂😂 #SlainteBab

In depth review of @SpiritofBrum inaugural. Thanks Wlad, so glad you like it! 💪🥃🌾 youtu.be/IiOO4pPFOqY?...

Haggis, Neeps and Tatties. With whisky sauce and wee trees. whilst enjoying this stunning delicacy, my 15yo googled.. "what do haggis actually look like?" An image of a little furry creature with a side parting came up, I didn't know whether to laugh, cry or fess up. 😝 Delicious 😋🥃🌾

English Whisky Corner - @SpiritofBrum beer seasoned, English oak cask update youtu.be/E-xXO_00TIc?...

Seeing so many posts of the inaugural release of @spiritofbirmingham.bsky.social I haven’t seen anyone posting about the awesome label on the back of the bottle. Absolutely love it! Looking forward to tasting the liquid later and will have to listen to @honesttoamalt.bsky.social episode 85

Our first review drops.. from Kevin @barrelandbrand.bsky.social . Go have a listen to his initial thoughts on our first release. .. 💥🥃🌾 www.instagram.com/reel/DLxVk_T...

Grain whisky is often perceived as a "lesser" category. In truth there is more freedom when making grain whisky, and it can be every bit as good as a single malt. With our 'flavour first' approach, we show just how good a gain whisky can be. #englishwhisky #singlegrain #bcorp #organicwhisky

Young people are drinking alcohol! www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07...

Order yours today! 📢🥃🌾 spiritofbirmingham.co.uk/our-shop/ols...

Later start today after an amazing evening @WarminsterMalt to celebrate their renovation and opening of a museum section. Fantastic performances and wonderful hospitality. #MashinMusic kicks off again with #montaigne as recommended by a friend. 👊🎵▶️🥃🌾#spiritofbrum

Saw Kylie Minogue last night, she was "Wow". So I named today's cask in her honour. #FiftyGreight

Been juggling casks today. Pulled out the 4 that will make up our inaugural release. Put newer fills in their place. The last one comes of age tomorrow, would be rude not to have a taste! 😋🥃🌾
