Happy publication day to Manchester’s Best Beer V2! I hope to see a few of you later on at Café Beermoth to celebrate (please note the Waterstones bit isn’t happening.) If you haven’t picked up a copy you can do so here: shop1.camra.org.uk/product/manc...

God grant me the power to be a perpetually online social media manager, on April 1st, in a world filled with AI slop. It’s gonna be a looong eye-rolled filled morning.

V pleased to have played a part in enabling this delightful purchase

The mascot at the World Indoor Championships is absolutely bringing the hype I love it

Not at BeerX this year for the first time since I started working in the industry! Going to miss catching up with everyone!!

Any top pub recs for Belfast? My brother in law is off there this weekend and his pals have a huuuuuge list so it’d be good to help them narrow it down 🍻

Well I thought I was being exceedingly witty anyway 😂

Guess who has been a big brave girl and booked her first haircut since pre COVID?!

Oh how I have missed lighter evenings and a bit of warmth in the air

National XC Championships. The annual reminder that being distinctly average (at best) and somewhat resembling a potato doesn’t make me any less of an athlete ☺️ always the best day out!!

The top 3 in the men’s big air has brought a tear to my eye. Real camaraderie and cheering each other on to be the best they can. What sports should all be about. #winterolympics

The 2026 Barkley Marathons is over. There are no finishers. #BM100

Well I thought Wuthering Heights was fantastic. The DRAMA. The DRESSES. The EGGS.

Gosh transphobes are incredibly boring as well as awful aren’t they

Arguing with particularly stupid transphobes on the internet. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

I honestly can’t think of a single person in the world I would be comfortable doing the double decker luge with 😂

Rhythm dance ice skating to 90s megamixes?! YES. #winterolympics

What’s your favourite thing you bought when you were drunk? Mine is this fossilised shrimp, which I bought in person in a posh antiques shop in York after an afternoon of many beers

SUPER acquisitions from today’s antics and Jim has finally joined the Fun Jumper Club

They’ve blown it #TheTraitors

Ok I’m caught up on traitors so I can scroll safely again 😌

Inspired by @daisyturnell.bsky.social to have some 80 Shilling and @laurara31.bsky.social happened to send me this @abbeydalebeers.bsky.social sample 🍻

Happy anniversary to me being called “everything that is wrong with the world” for shandying Putty 🎉

The bonus of having small feet is being able to fit in the £3.99 kids fleecy croc knockoffs from Aldi

Big news, no booze

me to three fifths of the default setting white men at this table #TheTraitors #Traitors

Can’t just be me that saw this

Can anyone help Matty C with what is surely the best social media request of 2025?

Solidarity tinsel looking cute

I’m so busy at the moment that my alarm is set for 6am to go do hill sprints cos it’s the only time I can fit them in. GROSS.

All well and good feeling smug about getting up to go for a run before work, but needing two breakfasts as a result somewhat outweighs the benefits 😂

My nephew (aged 2) went to see Santa this week and when asked what he would like for Christmas replied “cheese and a bus please” and honestly what a vibe

Wintertide and the Lord of Misrule at Hardwick Hall was magical 🥰

My favourite decorations I have seen thus far this festive season

V confused by a brewery social media post declaring a beer “not up to our standards” swiftly followed by a link to purchase said below par beer??

A whole week in December and holding firm and fast to my belief that if you’re genuinely trying to avoid listening to Last Christmas then you are the real loser x

🎶On the 2nd day of #crustmas my true love gave to me, A crab munching an anemone. 🎶 #xmas #nature #tidepool #maui #crustacean #smallwonders #photography #hawaii #marinelife #hawaii #bluesky #nokings

I’m having a really nice day off

On #Crustmas we celebrate the entire diversity of crustaceans, especially the ones few people have ever seen before! Don't forget to follow the hashtag or the crab feed for them bsky.app/profile/did:...

Listening to Last Christmas because it is an all-time banger and George didn't die on Christmas Day for you to disrespect his memory by participating in Whamageddon

This year we're doing Whamutopia. Every time you hear Last Christmas you have to have a mulled wine at your earliest convenience and toast George Michael, because he was a lad

National tuxedo cat day!

It's that time of year folks, it's time for #Blueblivion!! Rules and T&Cs are below, please feel free to share around, would be lovely to get plenty of people joining in on the fun and maybe we can raise a tiny bit of dosh for charity in the process 🐮

When I was A young boy My father Took me into the city…

So very thrilled to see this!! Congratulations @pelliclemag.com - what a team!!

Good luck to everyone shortlisted at tonight’s @britbeerwriters.bsky.social awards! Such a wealth of talent which constantly inspires me and pushes me to improve my own writing. Hope y’all have a great evening 🍻
