I can't believe that they wasted the opportunity to label this up "It is Pivo!"

How it started: Whitelock's, Leeds. Once we'd finished going Fnaar Fnarr over the brewery name, a very good beer. How it continued: they're a local brewery, they have a tap room up the road.

Nice to see that some @tomstapandbrew.bsky.social beer has found its way across the Pennines!

This morning's achievements: - Got out of bed at a sensible time. - Bought a birthday card for my mother. - Caused a long queue in Boots whilst my credit card caused the only open cash register on the counter to completely crash and restart.

Anyone seen a Tardis around here?

Warning - novelty beers are often disappointing.

I'm disappointed that I missed out on all the fun of Bluesky being broken whilst I was out at work. I'll try to recreate the moment tomorrow by attempting to post something whilst entering a tunnel.

I'm not particularly sure that 'Haggis' is a real GAA county. I'm game to start one if required… Anyway, top pints as usual in @dogandpartridge.bsky.social

Alright! Alright! I've bought one, stop asking! It's on my weekend off, so I'll probably show up as well.

Unfortunately, my suggested wording of "WELL DONE IMBECILES! Thanks to your repeated piss-taking, the refund process has now been made more difficult for all concerned." was deemed unsuitable for publication.

Up in the gods tonight. Rain no problem!

Experiencing the great beer garden weather we've been enjoying lately. By which, I mean, it has started raining.

Ah, the joys of streaming music services! A moderately sized record label has removed, or let lapse, their catalogue from Qobuz. I’ve now annoyingly got lots of tracks in playlists greyed out as “unavailable”. Question now is, to correct this, do I go back to Spotify or back to Pirate Bay?

A nice, quiet afternoon in Soho, he thought. Check the calendar, he didn't. Pint day at the French House.

Sorted!

There were plenty of things I could have been irritated by this morning: - Going back work after five days off. - Starting at 5:30am. - Being woken up at 2:45 because my alarm clock had somehow moved an hour forwards.

Inadvertently parked in the nationalist section of the car park earlier

Learn yerself customer

Using up last year's annual leave in a pub.

No shit

Good to see I have a great bunch of mature, sensible colleagues.

Eviltwin's Barrel Aged "Today's Forecast" stout. Only a cool £27/pint at the Rutland Arms in Sheffield. At 14%, a third will do just nicely… #beer #bskybeer

Looks like I've got to sort out some flights to Dublin now!

Blackpool Pleasure Beach kept that quiet. New coaster coming soon?

Pub ceiling…of the week!

I don't know. I spend 3 hours travelling to Paris and the weather is crap, everything is closed and instead of a bistro there's a yankee burger bar!

A can of Põhjala Õhtu, from Estonia, for this evening. Chosen because I forgot to put a beer in the fridge earlier, yet this one is marked as 'Serve 12-16°C' so just at the right temperature out of the cupboard. Some welcome synchronicity. Cheers! #beer #bskybeer

Some lunchtime polishing for a Thursday. Interesting that Brasso is only Great Britain's №1 polish, suggesting that Norn Iron has their own superior, local version that they prefer. Like with Tayto crisps, Harp lager, or Centra corner shops. Any ideas?

Unusually sweet tasting and smelling Nigerian lager beer for supper tonight. Served from what is perhaps the most beaten up returnable glass bottle I've come across. Cheers! #beer #bskybeer

My passport is up for renewal, so I've had a new photo taken to send in. For some reason, I thought that a shirt and tie was the most appropriate attire for the occasion. Got to look vaguely respectable for the border guards!

Czech pilsner, brewed by a US brewery, on a brewkit in the UK. Not at all confusing! #beer #bskybeer

I'm on a hunt for fennel this afternoon. Three supermarkets out of stock so far, plus one which has apparently stopped selling it altogether. Any idea if there's been a recipe on a TV cooking show recently which includes it, that's caused a resulting run at the shops?

FRINGE We are also blessed with the presence of the Upper Management, which means I'll probably be shouted at in the next few moments.

I endorse this product or service! 🍻

Successfully operated the photocopier earlier. Next time, I might even put the sheet I’d like copying onto the glass before pressing start!

Supermarkets should have protected windows of time for people who just want to get a few bits and don't have time to work around the people who seem content to spend hours fucking dawdling about making a day out of it

This weekend, I shall mostly be drinking in Newark…cheers!

I suspect that wasn’t its official name.

- Beef dripping sandwiches - Deep fried, half pound blocks of Kraft Dairylea

A Budweiser for a dark night. Cheers! #beer #bskybeer

Guess who's been to the Polski Sklep today? #beer #bskybeer

Good to see there are still come @thecubanboys.bsky.social CDs still in existence. One of which appears to reside at our local tinpot radio station.

Finished work 10 mins late, but managed to make it to the Rutland for last orders, and a quick porter with Din Grogu™…cheers!

A post post work gym session beer…the joys of being on a late shift week! Is the canned version of Spaten Hell common? I've only ever seen it in bottles previously. #beer #bskybeer

A selection of yesterday's pub based antics

Last night's pub action

Walking through Catford, there's an awful lot of parakeets flying about. They seem well established, even picking fights with the crows and pigeons.

Greetings from an unplanned visit to South London!

Finished moonlighting at Derby's premier dive bar/ale establishment. Only the finest pint and corn-based snack to start the evening! #bskybeer #beer

Just ban us all from social media so we can draw a line under it and move on with our lives.
