An absolute riot of flavour!!! A fandango of hedgerow fruits, apples, buttery biscuit crumb & drying orangey/juniper finish. An absolute winner from @stfermentations.bsky.social and intriguingly a wonderful evolution of the pilot version that was on the bar at @salfordbeerfest.bsky.social.

Christmas gifting? We have you covered!

Good old listen this... Despite being present in the room for the talk @salfordbeerfest.bsky.social I was slightly too busy to be able to hear all of the panel discussion. Oh and the @stfermentations.bsky.social Wild BA Brown was quite frankly delicious. I made sure I had a snifter of that!

Now's the time to pick up a mini cask for the festive period!🎄 We anticipate that they'll be all gone long before Christmas Eve, so you better get your skates on! 🛼 #VivaStirchley #VivaBrum #ShopIndependent #SWSXmas

Hang on a minute.... Weren't these supposed to be going straight into my fridge?!?

C'mon #Fallout76 I want to go to Ohio... #TapsFingers

This was a fabulous surprise @salfordbeerfest.bsky.social the other week; a real eye opener even to those that might not normally gravitate towards Flanders style on the sour beer spectrum.

Feeling a bit peckish so I thought it the perfect little @seanayling.bsky.social style brekko stack...

On the list...

It's been a long while but now they're back in stock... 🌶️ Pimento Gingembre - made with ginger, tonic & hot pepper natural flavours. Low in sugar, full of taste & naturally delicious, best served ice cold. It’s also alcohol free! #VivaStirchley #VivaBrum #ShopIndependent

💜Midweek Muse💜 Last Saturday we were honoured to be invited to @salfordbeerfest.bsky.social to be on a discussion panel featuring independent beer retailers including Sam at Keg Cask Bottle / Greg & Rosie at RG Beer Vault l, hosted by @totalcurtis.bsky.social from @pelliclemag.com . #ISBFX

This can only mean one thing... I'm cutting out a whole bunch of laminated keg identifiers for #ISBFX again. As ever some will absolutely be slightly more neat than others, at this point I've stopped doing anything like quality control. @salfordbeerfest.bsky.social

Haem is without a doubt a really, really easy drinking delight. I'd expect no less from @elusivebrewing.com though...

Do we have a Friday treat for you?!? A brand new sharing bottle from mixed ferm maestro's @scatterlings.bsky.social 🍻 Karoo Gold - 4.5% An easy drinking grisette brewed with rooibos tea and lemons. #VivaStirchley #ShopIndependent

YOINK 👀

Now I'm not saying I've been buying cheese again but...

We don't let Krishan out very often, so do say hi if you see him...

Social media seems to have much less of an appeal to me recently; maybe I'm just slightly more busy or I'm just generally a bit less inclined to engage in the current global political climate but.... Have I missed owt?!?

GBBF Trade tomorrow with @stirchleywines.bsky.social and others; looking forward to seeing a few familiar faces.

Time to get the band back together again...

It's new hat day for @salfordbeerfest.bsky.social and facking leaves it....

A nice little plate of cheese courtesy of Curds & Whey. 🧀 Berwick Edge 🧀 Asiago 🧀 Thyme Manchego 🧀 Crottin de Chevre And as a bonus a lovely little bit of Fourme de Montbrison infused saucisson.

👀🤯👀

It feels surreal to post this but... Goodnight to you David Thomas Rowe. 1948 - 2025 #SleepWell #RIP

Time for a Saturday evening livener, and a small yet focussed dab or two of cheese. @scatterlings.bsky.social continue to wow with their mixed ferm focussed saison loveliness. Vidal is an especially good match with this goats milk gorgonzola. Beer picked up from @stirchleywines.bsky.social...

Cor this latest iteration of Level Up from @elusivebrewing.com is flippin' phenomenal. OT may be the headline grabbing beer, but by gawd don't sleep on this one!

A reminder that next week is UK Belgian Beer Week... As one of the longest-standing advocates of Belgian beer retailers in the Midlands, we invite you to join us in celebrating with the finest selection of Belgian beer available! #VivaStirchley #VivaBrum #ShopIndependent #UKBelgianBeerWeek 🇧🇪

Propelling racists to stardom by giving them as much airtime as they want ("we'll be able to test their arguments and put them under scrutiny") has worked out tremendously, I must say.

You should be drinking beer from @lostcausebrewingco.bsky.social, thank us later... 🍺 Me Myself & I 5% DDH Aus Pale 🍺 Foil Top 6% Belgian Cherry Porter w/ @burningskybeer.bsky.social 🍺 Skip To The End 6.8% DDH IPA 🍺 Moon On A Stick 7% IPA #VivaStirchley #VivaBrum #ShopIndependent

Ooof a delicious sheep gorgonzola...

A very happy birthday to Amrik, I'm sure we can find an appropriate way to mark this milestone later on...
