Beer spotters! We've brought back a few kegs from Mains Brew Co in Glasgow after our trip last weekend. Pouring in the taproom from 3pm on Thursday if you fancy trying... - Rustic Lager (spelty) - Belgian single - Wheat Beer (Belgian style Wit with Scottish wheat) All excellent we might add.

Pellicle have written their guide to pub etiquette - and no, hoarders, bar thieves & beer magpies, we're not talking beer mats, bar runners or branded towels (do you have any beer etiquettes you could send?) - rather, rules of the game from seasoned pub goers... www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/10...

Time to share the beer and cider list for #ISBFX Ready, set…GO!: www.salfordbeerfest.com/news/isbfx-t...

Good morning from my inbox where I have 14 (fourteen) pitches I would like to commission, but I don't have the budget to fund any of them. I keep banging on about this, but @pelliclemag.com needs more subscribers if it is to continue. Please spread the word. Patreon.com/pelliclemag

NEW VID! This week we visit St Mars of the Desert – a brewery that rejects style definitions, brews hazy lager, adds mad acids to its mash, hand paints anything that stands still long enough – and happens to make some of the best beer in the world. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmJo...

Looking for beery & non-beery tips for a trip to Glasgow at the end of the month. All suggestions gratefully received 🍻

A last minute beer sponsorship opportunity has just opened up for #ISBFX. And the beer is - let's just say - Very interesting! Sponsorship is £90 and comes with 2 tickets to the session of your choice. Contact [email protected] if interested.

Jazzed at being invited up to Glasgow to pour some beer @glasladiesbeer.bsky.social Beer is for Everyone festival at the end of the month. Really looking forward to meeting a bunch of new people, sharing what we do and exploring the city again (been too long). If you've any top tips give us a shout.

We understand UPS & DHL will no longer ship 30L kegs throughout the UK. Eebria & Sellar Shipping, two of the most used routes to market for small beer have been unable to secure viable alternatives. As a result expect to see more 20L kegs being packaged (35pints) & price rises at small indie bars?

Drew the poster for a megablaster Stockport glitterati charity meal coming up at @runawaybrewery.bsky.social with all proceeds going to supporting Eat Well’s good work

Looking forward to the arrival of this Green Hop Bitter from @runawaybrewery.bsky.social and @trackbrewingco.bsky.social featuring Fuggles, Prima Donna and Hersbrucker hops grown and harvested in Manchester of all places! A bumper harvest this year, by all accounts.

On Saturday October 11th at 1pm we’re going to be hosting a @millsbrewing.bsky.social tasting at the Taproom. Jonny from Mills will be up here with us and he’ll be guiding you through four of their most recent releases including a collaboration that we brewed together in October 2023. 🍻

Festival season continues with a mini-run of three consecutive weekends later this month, starting with North Hop in Inverness on the 17th/18th, then it’s over to Edinburgh for the Big Swally on the 25th and back to Glasgow on the 1st Nov for Glasladies’ Beer Is For Everyone. Join us if you can!

Anyone know of a livestock Farmer local to Stockport who might be interested in a relatively small amount of spent grain on the regular, please do put them in touch. Cheers!

These Berliner Weisse syrups went down a storm at this weekends' #Stocktoberfest And for those who were wondering... 1 = Blackberry, Blueberry, Sage & Vanilla 2 = Beetroot, Orange & Tarragon 3 = Pear, Lemon, Cardamom & Tumeric 4 = Peach, Elderflower & Thyme (with Blue Tea) Cheers!

Knocked up a few spiced, fruit & herb syrups to accompany Berliner Weisse at this weekends' #Stocktoberfest here at the taproom. Any guesses what's in them?

🚨 NEW BEER 🚨 Well, there you have it - our brand-new release Falsetto is a Cold Brew White Stout! Brewed in collaboration with Runaway and, from just up the road, Neighbourhood Coffee. #ProperSoundBeers

Collaboration in beer is an often abused term, but it really can be a wonderful thing. It often provides we brewers with the opportunity (or just an excuse?) to try something new, or experiment down roads less trodden. Here are just some of the beers we're pouring at this weekends' #Stocktoberfest

Sorry to be right about this. No GBBF next year as it made “a substantial loss”, according to CAMRA

In February 2024 I visited French & Jupps, the UKs oldest existing maltster, and roasted malt specialist. I’d never heard of them before, despite them being in operation since 1689. It’s story fascinated me, so I wrote it for @pelliclemag.com here: www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/9/...

Well @runawaybrewery.bsky.social, this is truly exceptional! Light, slightly tart with great carbonation & a lovely gentle oak smoke, it’s hugely refreshing. Wonderfully sessionable at 2.9% ABV. Please make it a core beer; it’s a revelation!

Our Rustic lager Big Foam is back on Friday. 40 venues nationwide. It's bitter. It's tangy it's uniquely delicious. Alongside two special versions with our favourite breweries.

For @geterbrewed.bsky.social I have reflected on the Beer Orders of 1989, and how all the attempts to break up the Big Six really did is create another Big Six, except now none are based in the UK. Read it here: www.geterbrewed.com/blog/2025/07...
