🌳🌳🌳 11 Beers from 11 different breweries through the week. Something we’ve always wanted to do and we’re excited to finally pull together. Full beer list incoming…

A short message from our European correspondent.

So yesterday was a #BombGirlsCharityBottleshare I'm putting a video up of the bottles you missed...and tbh it's the company that is just as important

Every #BombGirlsCharityBottleshare i try to do a fruit comparison this time it's was Greengage... @balancebrew.bsky.social vs @burningskybeer.bsky.social and as ever it was fascinating seeing how 2 breweries approach what similar beers and you some ppl had both beers as their favourite

Brew day, today is a Rauchbier using a recipe I have done before, this will have a little extra smoked malt in than planned as I had some lying around 😀. Anyone else got anything on the go? #homebrew #beeroclock #Newcastle #beer

May I humbly offer up something for your Friday afternoon reading in the pub atjpubs.substack.com/p/observatio...

Today sees a home collaboration with our good pal Stu from North Riding Brewery!

Herbalised orangey apricot on the nose. Smooth and soft on the tongue. Taste leads with pithy orange. Some chewy underripe peach follows. Very quaffable for the ABV. My head has rolled. This is a quality IPA. #BskyBeer

Ok it's #BombGirlsCharityBottleshare tomorrow @The_Central_bar @3pm Now this is pretty much your last chance to join us on a journey into Bombgirl's dark dark heart The beers are waiting so why are you 3 coffees @ buymecoffee.com/bombgirl all proceeds to @menspieclub #tyncamra

Craft beer in cans was making headlines 12 years ago. Today, cans count for 76% of craft beer retail sales in the US, with even imports falling into line. But changes are coming, with some brands returning to glass, while others explore different can sizes. vinepair.com/articles/can...

Onco Fonco from The First & Last Brewery. A great accompaniment to the obscene amount of food we devoured at The French Quarter last night. And the perfect reminder that low in ABV doesn’t mean low in flavour.

Another book about pubs - anyone would think I'm obsessed Inns and Taverns of North Shields by Charlie Steel #pubs #NorthSheilds

Freshly squeezed sweet citrus on the nose. Taste continues the citric theme, with pithy grapefruit and bitter orange to the fore, while adding some juicy peach, and finishing with a black tea dryness. Commendably good IPA action from @twicebrewedbrewco.bsky.social. #BskyBeer

We're only halfway through the week and our students have already attended a flavour evaluation lecture, visited Maxim Brewery and Three Brothers Brewing Company, and completed another practical brew day. 🍺 #Brewery #CraftBeer #UKBrewery

Aroma of honeyed cerealism. Taste has a rich breadiness alongside a generous serving of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes. Nice drying finish to offset the sweet maltage. And little sign of the ABV. A belta Geordie Helles Bock from @hadrianborder.bsky.social. #BskyBeer

Oktoberfest is nearly upon us and in today’s @dailystar.co.uk I’ve brought together a First XI of Brit breweries making superb Festbiers including @lostandgrounded.bsky.social @teamutopian.bsky.social @durationbeer.bsky.social @pilotbeer.co.uk @pillarsbrewery.bsky.social & @verdantbrew.bsky.social

A disgracefully early start but keeping it sensible with a table beer. This 'Waves' from Beak, on tap at @thefreetradeinn.bsky.social is very impressive. Drinks like a full-blown IPA. #BskyBeer

It is almost exactly a week till the next ##BombGirlsCharityBottleshare Over half the tickets are gone but there are still a few left so you need to get them soon Buymeacoffee.com/bombgirl 3 coffees gets a ticket

Full Circle Festing, yesterday afternoon #BskyBeer

This is sublimely good.

Important scientific research! Comparing two Orvals. One bottled in March 2025 (6 months old), the other bottled in June 2024 (15 months old). Results to follow… #BskyBeer

This will be fun!! Our best ever Festbier. The legendary Si King's Propa pies, and Andre's schnitzel sandwiches. In our cosy little Newcastle taproom.

This prompts a question: what's the biggest bargain in beer where you live? In Bristol it might be the (last time we checked) £3 pints of exemplary Butcombe at The Whitehall Tavern.

It’s been a cat and mouse kind of night

This Is What Doing Good Looks Like… www.salfordbeerfest.com/news/vvgjlq4...

Not the best hop harvest this year, got a bit more than pictured but only 200g in the end. Vacuum sealed and popped in the freezer. Will be enough to finish my spring golden ale next year. Variety: Goldings

Currently surveying the Perle hops that go into most of our beers, today they are being picked and dried.

Hey! Running a pub in the Lake District? Want to attract more custom? Here’s a great idea! Why not put the opening hours of the pub somewhere - anywhere - on your webiste, social media accounts, or Google search entry?

We gave our Diploma students a warm welcome to Sunderland last night over some pints.🍻  #Sunderland #Brewing #CraftBeer #Brewer #Beer

This is provisional but I'm relatively sure just needs final confirmation #BombGirlsCharityBottleshare Dark Dark Heart Autumn arrives

Harvey’s Sussex Best in the Toon. It’s a dream come true.

Our next home brew club meet up will be on Friday 12th September at 2 Knives Kitchen in Hoults Yard from 7pm, hopefully see a few people there. #homebrew #beeroclock #Newcastle #beer

Next Thursday - 4th September - you’ll find us and a whole load of our tasty beers at the wonderful Crown Posada in Newcastle. If you’ve been before, you’ll know what an awesome pub this is. If you haven’t, come and find out! Loads of cask, loads of keg. Side helpings of chat. Cheers!

September – a 30-day long goodbye to summer, as someone once said. What better way to spend it than with live music, good people, and a pint in hand. 🍻🎶 All our gigs are free | 4pm unless otherwise stated
