Godammit

I still can’t believe that the Lambic Trail works and is so popular. What started as a way to share a love of an under represented style whilst trying to fill pubs in January has become a calendar staple! Thanks so much to everyone that attended and to everyone that makes it happen 🇧🇪 🍻

Hello from Steam Machine Brew Co in (distinctly not sunny) Newton Aycliffe!

Twice Brewed - Main Offender (8.5% Double Porter) @ Brew York Taproom for Indie Beer North East. #BSkyBeer

Publicans (and taproomicans): has January been as quiet/busy as you expected? More so? Less so? You can DM if you like. We're after data.

Our January newsletter is a pep talk: you – yes, you! – should write about beer and pubs. boakandbailey.substack.com/p/you-should...

New figures show UK brewery closure rates increased dramatically during 2025 compared to previous years, with a 37% spike compared to the previous year beertoday.co.uk/2026/01/27/b... #beer #beernews #brewery #brewerynews

If there’s anyone else we should add to our North East Beer Community starter pack, please let us know! (There’s a separate starter pack for local pubs and breweries and whatnot) go.bsky.app/Bx8FtUa

The Tyneside Lambic trail is always such a great reminder of why beer and pubs matter. A huge thank you to Mick at @thefreetradeinn.bsky.social for putting the whole thing together, to the venues, and to everyone who joined the @craftbeerncl.bsky.social social yesterday ❤️

Today in @thetimes.com - I’m being sent more and more gluten-free beers to try. So I learned about the cruel minefield that is coeliac disease and gluten intolerance and picked the best GF beers I’ve found so far (paywall) www.thetimes.com/life-style/f...

The #TynesideLambicTrail is Go... Stop #1... Town Mouse #BskyBeer

The Bridge Hotel - #Newcastle For the last 30+ years you know exactly what you're getting when you walk through the door, good beer in traditional surroundings

It's getting a bit wild on the North East coast, which means taking shelter in Flash House Brewing Co and supping on a sustaining Export India Porter #BskyBeer

For those of you considering going out on #TheLambicTrail today you're in for a treat. Across all the venues there are some fantastic beers...oh and when you're between Axis and The Central pop into @microbusgateshead.bsky.social for a swift half of @newbarns.bsky.social 60/

This cask Azacca Mosiac hazy pale ale by Byker brewers Two By Two served at @thefreetradeinn.bsky.social was my favourite beer tried during a short trip Hyem. A cracking beer. Nice tropical fruit flavours with a lovely mouthfeel. Cheers! 🍻 #BskyBeer #CraftBeer #TwoByTwoBrewery

Visiting 52 new pubs 2/52 The Lord Crewe - Blanchland - stunning building in the Idyll surroundings of Blanchland - wooden beams,stone floors and cosy open fires - the bar is in the vaulted brick ceiling crypt - Great pint of Secret Kingdom from H&B - The food was fantastic #pubs #Blanchland

Your annual reminder that “Blue Monday” is a complete fiction invented by a company that wanted to sell you more holidays. Enjoy January! It’s quiet and cosy and time for semi-hibernation, reflection and being kind to yourself!

I'm gonna try and visit at least 52 new pubs in 2026 1/52 Twice Brewed inn - Bardon Mill - Hadrian's wall pub and brewery - it's in a beautiful part of the NE - food was good - The beer - Ale Caesar - was magnificent #Pubs #Newcastle

Heatons Tiny Toad and the recently open Pickled Toad in Shieldfield are closing #Newcastle #Heaton #Pubs

Beauteous! Export India Porter from Flash House Brewing Co, at the source in #NorthShields. Rich dark chocolate, dark fruits, and a nutty dryness. #BskyBeer
