Proof that #Guinness does travel well, the ship was built for just that purpose! The Lady Grania was one of three Guinness "Ladies" transporting the black stuff to that England

I bought this because it has all the microstories (plus a couple of newer ones) from China Miéville's Apology Chapbook, which were as intriguing & thought provoking as I expected. But it also has a fantastic story by Matt Suddain. I will definitely get more of his work, highly recommend! #booksky

Fauve are back with the 2025 Barrel Series, and what a way to start it.. IS blend aged 30 months in peated whisky and hot sauce (!) barrels. The smoke + spice really kicks. 5🌟 Can art by @guitouya on IG #beer #beersky

This is the first time I have come across the names New Ulster and New Munster for North and South Islands. They only lasted as provinces for a dozen years. New Leinster only lasted 5. As for Connacht, well, why would you name anything after thrm anyway huh.. #speirgorm

Was it really a mythological land though? In 1948, a 45 km-wide point of land at coordinates of 46°23′N 37°20′W was found submerged only 36.5 m below the ocean surface. Significantly, this location due west of Brittany tallies with the earliest map drawings. 📖 mapmyths.com#mayda

In Liechtenstein people can't afford modern cars, and have to make do with this type of fabulous opulence instead. Daimler on left, possibly a model B though I couldn't find anything by that name. Jaguar on right, no markings as to the model. Any ideas? #photography #car #liechtenstein 🇱🇮

Eldest daughter has come upon these Guinness brand laminated pocket calendars for 1967: #beerbluesky hive mind - anyone know anything about them? Sales rep merch for pubs?? Collectible???

When the 'Vinland Map' was announced to the world in 1965, it turned the known history of transatlantic exploration on its head. Was the depiction of a landmass southwest of Greenland, clearly labelled "Vinlanda Insula", proof of Viking expansion into the New World centuries before Columbus?

English developed on an island. It was settled by Celts, then Germanic tribes (such as the Angles and Saxons), then the Vikings came in, and then the Normans. Latin also had an influence thanks to Christianity. English has words from all over
