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.

Pint. Fireplace. Slightly wonky table. A winning combination! #beer #bskybeer

Ooh, the local Lidl has Spaten Münchner Hell in stock!

Currently out at work, but waiting in the fridge for my return… …two cans of the same beer‽ Even the same production and expiry dates. #beer #bskybeer

What (and I cannot stress this enough) the fuck?

Continuing adventures into the back of the drinks cupboard...some stollen flavoured rum liqueur that I picked up on clearance from M&S some time ago. The battery in the completely unnecessary light in the base of the bottle still works though! #notbeer

It's attempting to snow outside, so I'm going to stay in and make some inroads on the drinks cupboard. I mean, this one has been sitting in it for at least three years. It's time for it to go! #beer

Don't worry, the menu does have actual 0% products, should you be taking the month seriously!

Come from (just outside) Sheffield to Wakefield, only to have beer from (just outside) Sheffield. I really need to plan these beer trips slightly more adventurously!,

The car has gone in for its annual test and service. Today is going to be one of the following: - Expensive - Very expensive

First pint of the year! #beer

Oh no, a branch of Greggs has opened on the concourse at Leeds station. That's the diet blown for the foreseeable.

Start the new year as you mean to go on!

Good to see I'm joining such luminaries as "Guy from Countryfile" at this here fine establishment #beer #pubs

Gone out into town and forgotten to put on my hat. Prepare for nose bleeds every time I walk into anywhere with the heating even slightly on.

Resisting the urge to have an argument with the parents; for suggesting that I stop drinking beer as “it’s bad for your health” whilst, at the same time, they serve up a brick of brie and fried bacon in an entire garlic baguette as dinner. I suspect there’s fewer calories in a couple of pints.

Turned out nice again!

Time, perhaps, to free up the space inside the fridge door that has been occupied by this bottle for the last 20 months. Best before 12/2024, should be fine! It hissed on opening so not gone flat, at least. #beer

Wrexham opinions… Lager – very sweet and a malty aroma. The head dissipated quickly.

A Welsh trinity has appeared!

After a brief food interlude, I wrapped up at the Two & Six micro on Snig Hill. Plenty of options to be going at!
