Lovely stuff. Dropped in here last year, after a trip on the steam train from Blaenau Ffestiniog.

Haven't read the article yet, but it's a fantastic pub and I'm a big fan of Mws Pws beers. And their ice cream.

The Isle of Man's beer scene is an interesting one. They have their own purity law, their own pub ties, and a love for cask ale to the occlusion of everything else. You could say it's a little stuck in the past. Enter, Kerroo. www.pelliclemag.com/home/2026/5/...

I've started adding bonus content to the Pellicle Patreon as a sort-of extra treat each week, and this week it was a little gallery of photos by @totalcurtis.bsky.social that didn't make it into the published story on Leeds' beer scene by Jon Clark. www.patreon.com/posts/159356...

Brilliant! ...

Actually Hooting and Hollering over here! David has outdone himself here, chef's kisses all round.

Need to book a trip to Leeds to check out some places.

It's David Bailey day! www.pelliclemag.com/home/2026/5/...

Really fascinating read on the Leeds beer scene, something I've not been able to experience as much as I would've like in the years since I've moved up. Especially nice to have a refresher on a few local breweries to get behind and try out!

Really enjoyed this piece.

A good read. Halfway through I was ready to scream SPOT ON ABOUT EVERYTHING. By the end, the nuance kicked in, and made me want to scream about that one food pub people rave about. Lots to digest, which is what I want from a good read.

So great to see how well this has resonated with people and how positive and vocal the response has been. The Leeds beer scene has always held a soft spot for me and Jon Clark did such a great job reporting this for Pellicle.

"Why does one of the leading beer cities in the country feel like a closed shop for small breweries?" Great long read from @pelliclemag.com on the homogenisation of #Leeds' beer offer www.pelliclemag.com/home/2026/4/...

Really good piece on the Leeds pub/beer scene from @pelliclemag.com www.pelliclemag.com/home/2026/4/...

This is a great writeup of the beer scene and well played to everyone taking the time to contribute.

This is a terrific read about what’s important to a city’s beer scene.

Good survey and analysis of the current beer scene in Leeds. It's the absence of a family brewer in the city, I believe, that's allowing Kirkstall to play that kind of a role there. See also Castle Rock in Nottingham | @pelliclemag.com www.pelliclemag.com/home/2026/4/...

As another Canadian who moved to Andalucía, I concur 😉 Great piece on tabancos and flamenco in Jerez.
