Camping with Jack. Butcombe Original which is pretty decent for a camping beer. Coastguard helicopter doing circuits above us. Disaster movie on the tablet.

@silentmillbrewco.bsky.social aren't just about lighter beers. "Polar Espresso" cold brew coffee Imperial stout is a classy visit to the dark side. #BskyBeer #Stouturday

A wonderfully sunny day required a couple of supermarket lagers. Onto the serious stuff now: "Cruis'n IPA" from @silentmillbrewco.bsky.social , paired with an exceptionally ripe Baron Bigod. Another cracking beer from Lytham St Anne's. #BskyBeer

Rounding off the evening with Ape Vs Mecha-Ape on the telly box which is -quite frankly- sub-optimal. The beer, however, is great. "Jaipur X & a Whole Lot of Faith" from @thornbridge.bsky.social and @northernmonk.bsky.social . Top work. #BskyBeer

I'll describe this as "pillowy". "Vectron 7" hazy pale from @silentmillbrewco.bsky.social . Grapefruit with a flouncy mouth-feel. #BskyBeer

"Kudos" Kolsch style lager from @silentmillbrewco.bsky.social . Good beer for a warm day. #BskyBeer

I know I'm a bit of a broken record with this, but more absolute class from @silentmillbrewco.bsky.social . "Turismo" Italian pilsner. Every beer I've had from them is top quality, really well crafted. I could drink a few of these. Happy Friday! #BskyBeer

Refreshing and a bit different from @silentmillbrewco.bsky.social . Tart and peachy. "Cross Platform" hazy pale. Another top beer from Silent Mill! #BskyBeer

Another lovely couple of beers from @silentmillbrewco.bsky.social . A session pale and a Japanese rice lager. Both so exquisite I'm going to treat myself to another beer. Silent Mill are based in Lytham St Anne's, so for my lucky friends up that way I'd really recommend giving them a go

Okay, so the last one wasn't the last one; and I'm glad. This is beautiful, and a great way to round off an evening of lovely beers. "Daisy and Doris" saison from @thornbridge.bsky.social . Light, herby, delightful.

Last of the evening, "Mango Halcyon" imperial IPA. Bags of mango, another banger from @thornbridge.bsky.social #BskyBeer

An absolute cracker of a westie from @thornbridge.bsky.social and Vault City, "Clear the Vault". Wonderfully crafted, really well layered. A superb beer. #BskyBeer

Next from @silentmillbrewco.bsky.social was "Roguelike" hazy pale. Another great beer- orange peel, bitter finish, rounded mouth-feel from the oats. #BskyBeer

It's our 22nd anniversary today. Being old, we've ordered a kebab, giving me an opportunity to drink decent beer at home. From @silentmillbrewco.bsky.social , "West Down Ventura" Mexican lager screams quality. Absolutely lovely. Bought a mixed case via Brewser, very pleased! #BskyBeer

Harlow returned 5/5 Conservative County Cllrs, and all 11 of their district wards saw a Tory elected. The town seems prime Reform territory- deprivation across many indices etc. The council has been able to tell a narrative of regeneration, showing improvements on the ground. Lessons for UK gov.

A proper team effort today. I did the shopping, 4 loads of laundry, painted the side of the house, rejigged the garden, and took care of all the meals. Mrs P went out at 9 and then spent the afternoon on the piss. Decent beer now though. #BskyBeer

Can of Mackeson's stout, in an idyllic campsite in Suffolk, just a foot ferry and 10k hike from my front door. The lid helps keep the bugs out! With Jack. We carried all our gear here. #BskyBeer in the wild!

This week I delivered an online training session to 227 people on bystander intervention techniques to make the world a nicer place for women, and I'm still buzzing from it. I'm unwinding now with Golden Spike from @thornbridge.bsky.social . Cracking beer! #BskyBeer

"Golden Spike" westie from @thornbridge.bsky.social . Really smooth, with a hint of honeydew melon. Really good. #BSkyBeer

"Favorito" from @thornbridge.bsky.social to replace lost electrolytes after a day in the sun... #BSkyBeer

My subscription from @thornbridge.bsky.social arrived on Monday, and like a good boy I've waited until Friday to crack on. A collaboration with the lovely people @trackbrewingco.bsky.social , "American Brown Ale" from The Union. Burnt caramel, typical Union smoothness. Lingers lovingly. Good stuff.

Lunch at The Alma. Jack and I shared the hot fish platter (we didn't add the lobster). A couple of pints of Wharf for me.

Trip out for work. Parked next to the decommissioned nuclear power plant at Bradwell. Saw a spooky house. Admired the sea. May have been a bit chilly.

Have you visited us? You should… Find us just east of Sleaford, in Heckington. We have ample parking, and a train station *literally* next to our taproom and brewery. #indiebeer #bskybeer #beer #microbrewery #heckington #lincs

I've decided to make tomorrow's run as hard as possible, by hitting the last of my Impy Union stash from @thornbridge.bsky.social . An absolute angel of a beer. #BskyBeer #Stouturday

As a Marine platoon leader in Vietnam, Mueller was shot and later returned to lead his platoon after his recovery. He received a Bronze Star for valor, a Purple Heart, 2 Navy/Marine Commendation medals, Republican of Vietnam Cross of Valor, and numerous other medals.

Another pretty good beer from Woodforde's, their "Albion Cream Stout". Fairly thin body, but tasty with chocolate and plums. #BskyBeer #Stouturday

"Volt" from Woodforde's. An American IPA that's light and fruity up front, with a piney bitter finish. Nice enough. #BskyBeer

Part of my job sees me wandering around the countryside. As you can imagine, it's hard work. 😉

Next up is "Salted Caramel Lucaria" Ice Cream Porter from @thornbridge.bsky.social . It's absolutely as you'd expect, but the stand out for me is the softened caramel sweetness that lingers. #BskyBeer

"Market Porter" from @thornbridge.bsky.social . Smooth mouth-feel, chocolate and coffee. A lovely drop to ease me into a few more dark beers. Perhaps. #BskyBeer

"Red Mountain" red session IPA from @thornbridge.bsky.social . Absolutely superb beer, built from the perennial favourite Green Mountain. Grab it if you see it! #BskyBeer

Listening to this absolute gem from the early '90s. I'm happily revisiting such classics as "Pop Loser", with the chorus: "I'll play my la-la shit for you anytime, la-la la la-la laa".

A few pints of Goff's Vanilla Stout in The Alma, watching Scotland beat France in the Six Nations. Stunning work all round! The vanilla is subtle in this, supporting the main act rather than stealing the limelight. Great beer. #BskyBeer #Stouturday (p.s. Nothing against France, just a great game!)

Revisiting @thornbridge.bsky.social Imperial Stout from The Union. A fantastic, gimmick-free impie. Slightly smoky chocolate, a bit of spice, subtle fruity finish. #BskyBeer #Stouturday

Kirkstall Cherry and Chocolate Stout. Dark cherry sourness rounded off by milk chocolatey sweetness. Nice. #BskyBeer #Stouturday

Probably my last of the evening, again via Asda. I've shared this before, but it's so rare nowadays for me to find Harbour beers in the wild that I thought I'd do so again. West Coast DIPA, I forgot it's 8%. #BskyBeer

Another juice-bomb, this time "Bobbi Abbey" from @northernmonk.bsky.social . A great beer from t'supermarket. #BskyBeer (I remembered this time 😉)

From Salt, "Serge" Citra IPA. A really cracking beer, bags of citrus and freshness. Quality brew via Asda's 4 for 3 offer.

Ah, now this is bloody lovely. From The Union, @thornbridge.bsky.social Imperial Stout. Get the temperature right for best enjoyment. Coffee and dark chocolate as you'd expect, and I'm fairly sure I can pick out the Union's rounded smoothness. #BskyBeer and #Stouturday

"Chiron" American Pale from @thornbridge.bsky.social . This really is a cheeky beer, lots of light piney goodness with a bitter finish. #BskyBeer

"Cartwheeler" Altbier from @thornbridge.bsky.social to kick the evening off. Bitter up front with a malty smooth finish. Terrible photo though 🤓 #BskyBeer

Sticking with the theme, my last "Panela" Colombian Coffee Porter from @thornbridge.bsky.social . I'll miss this as well! #BskyBeer

I'm on my last Masham Ale from @thornbridge.bsky.social and Theakston. I'll miss it. #BskyBeer

A couple of @thornbridge.bsky.social beauties to round off the evening. #BskyBeer

The last of my beers from @8sailbrewery.bsky.social , and I can't recommend the brewery enough. Every beer has been top quality, blending innovation with tradition and serving it in a pint bottle. "Golden Dawn" English Pale is decent up front, closing with playful blackcurrant for the win. #BskyBeer

Did my first ever Parkrun today. I wasn't particularly aiming for a time, although I hoped to get under 30 minutes. My latent misanthropy made overtaking essential, so I ended up getting faster as I went along. With some effort I think I can take 5 minutes off this.

@8sailbrewery.bsky.social Best Bitter tonight. A good bitter finish, rounded off with a bit of maltiness. Another quality traditional beer from the team! #BskyBeer

Next up is "Coco Cocoa" coconut chocolate porter from @thornbridge.bsky.social . The coconut dominates, but it's not over-sweet. #BskyBeer
