Looking forward to my trip to Madrid next week another holiday for me. Enjoying my retirement

Not something I say very often but I had two nice pints of Youngs this lunchtime

Back in the saddle last night, Vintage Ale tasting for 40 people at the Admiralty

Its bad that Americans don't understand that the parrots ate them all

Just booked a trip to Madrid and a trip to Rome. Very exciting , hope the beer scene is good

Im back in London and the first thing I did was congratulate my friend Derek Prentice on his MBE

Today I’m a busy bee in Manchester

RIP Geoff Palmer, my old tutor and inspiration

I’m back

Here’s me at the Ribblehead Viaduct in flamin June . Enjoying a pint of black sheep too

My tour continues

More beer today

Drinking in the Bluebell and found a Fullers master cellar man certificate signed by me

Three giants of the brewing scene James Fawcett ,Ken Don and now Martyn Cornell. The industry seems a lesser place today

I’m off on my travels again next week. York,Leeds and Manchester. Old friends and family to have a beer with

Is this HMS Belfast on steroids

I could have been a contender

The view from my window

Pond and pergola all looking good

Pergola looking good

Great little write up on the brilliance of well brewed and well kept cask beer from Andrew Jefford in the @newstatesman.com last week www.newstatesman.com/culture/food...

Montserrat

Checking BlackLab out

First roses of the season

Pond looking good too

Garden looking good

I never do

Rhododendron now in full flower

My first rhododendron flower of the season plenty more to come

At some point around 8am we hit 2,000 signatures on our petition to get cask ale recognised as living heritage by the UK government. 8,000 to go to get an official response, 98,000 to get a debate in Parliament! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

I’m in Cardiff what’s the best place to get a beer

Front looking good to

The top of my “bin” box

Nitro v cask

Here’s me on Valentine with the one I love

Just booked a holiday in Barcelona late April early May

I’ve just booked a trip to Cardiff in April. Any recommendations ?

The best thing to happen in beer since 2018 , easy I retired

Had a nice tour of Fullers today and two pints of Pride

today im playing Count Basie - old style

Oh no Denis Law has died. He was as good a player as any. A true great and my first football hero

Nice pride in The Hercules

Well I’m writing about cask v keg v nitro for the next Brewers Journal Guess which one I preferred

Frozen at the National Archives today

I’m writing about cask beer again

Decided to watch a ghost story last night. Half way through all the power in street went down. Symone was properly spooked

On my own today so decided to make some bread. I think yeast is my thing! Using buttermilk too

Very pleased to see Black Cab stout arriving into Fullers pubs. Good timing. I do prefer roasted malt to roasted barley

Whilst I have trouble drinking nitro beers I also have the same problem with British mainstream lager. In Prague I can drink lager all night long

I rarely drink any beer with nitrogen. Seems to damage both flavour and mouthfeel.
