Clayton McNamara's Drinking Emporium, Riga 🇱🇻 1st visit. Silly name aside, this is a comic/sci-fi bar which will be heaven for any fans. Arcade machines, collectibles, it reminds me of the long gone Fab Café in Leeds. Prices are Ok given the location. 🪄 🚀 👽🍻👍

Starogod, Riga 🇱🇻 1st visit. Institution. Old school brewpub, faux German style. 5 styles. Their lager is very accomplished. Surprised! A Czech wouldn't tell the difference. Malted barley grains to snack on. Hip hop soundtrack not exactly striking the right tone for a quiet Tuesday PM opening👍🍻

Aleponija, Riga 🇱🇻 1st visit. Ok, think I've finally cracked into something here after much digging. No signage outside. Inside, very atmospheric wooden interior and portraiture with Latvian beers. Friendly crowd, fair prices. An essential stop-off. 🍻👍

Möku, Riga 🇱🇻 1st visit. Ok, starting to dig into the subculture a little. Permafrost more like. These guys set up the first bar in Tartu, Estonia. This is a nice spot, set off the street. They could have more lounge furniture and fewer high tables. Fair prices that make a mockery of old town👍🍻

Vinilbars, Riga 🇱🇻 1st visit. On the west bank in Kancielma district known for wooden houses but it should also be known for traffic. Beer from Prusaks in Jūrmala. Vinil=Vinyl and there's a wall of records curated by the bartender. Fair prices and a range of hot snacks too. Go later on than I did👍🍻

Alus Rūme Trofeja, Riga 🇱🇻 1st visit. Nicest spot so far. A really pubby interior of wooden frames, board games and 7 tap beers from Trofeja brewery. Their garden looks good too. The compact interior does a lot to encourage a cosy, social and convivial feel. A clear standout. 🍻👍

Labietis Taproom, Riga 🇱🇻 1st visit. Set in a complex of converted industrial buildings. The outdoor areas will blend into one another nicely in summer. Inside is pretty though, hops, wood and warm hues livening up distressed greige walls. Herbal amber ale with a thyme aftertaste is a delight! 🍺👍

The Edgar Wallace, London 🏴 1st visit. Extraordinary interior which makes the horrible cream leather seats a baffling aberration. Friendly and social atmosphere that reminds me of Sutton Arms, but even more central. Central prices sadly too. Still, it's a big standout! 🍻👍

Drei Kannen, Ulm 🇩🇪 1st visit. Historical brewery, now defunct. Beer brewed by Gold-Ochsen north of the city centre. Lack of bar area and minimal social seating counts against it but it is a really interesting venue in other ways and has nice features. Spezial is tasty. Ok for lunch or to kill time👍🍻

Ulmer's Bierakademie, Ulm 🇩🇪 1st visit. Proper kneipe time now 🚬 Ulm lost to Ingolstadt ⚽, fans now piling in to drown their sorrows. 6 taps, mainstream really, but a supposedly extensive bottle selection of different styles. The old cellar type frontage was much better than Sky Sports 🤢🍻

Final

from GT Ales tonight, one left over from Christmas - Santas Pod, a chocolate and vanilla porter. If you ever get the chance to buy this beer do. It is as smooth as silk and the chocolate and vanilla notes really shine through.

Next up from GT Ales is their North Coast IPA. A hoppy little number with a dry finish, dangerously drinkable!

Just here to point out that Currywurst is not just the worst German sausage dish nor indeed the worst German food nor even the world's worst food but actually the worst thing in the world.

I'm not sure how happy these two individuals would be to sit alongside each other on a bookshelf, even 2000 years after their deaths. Varus probably didn't know Tacfarinas, but Tacfarinas certainly knew who Varus was - there are a fair few connections between the two... A short

just read an incredible 13th Century account of a feudal uprising where a duke's son was killed by rebels who used a trebuchet to knock him off the battlements with the only available ordnance: a peasant's decapitated head. apparently it was the first serf-face-to-heir missile no, *you* shut up 😁

I think the final proofs of my book on Tacfarinas have finally been signed off & so it will shortly be heading for the printing press. A book about anti-#Roman rebellion in northwest Africa in the early reign of Tiberius. Now available for pre-order

Back on the bar reviews soon, but a quick pause to let you know about Dalešice 11° Nefiltrovaný. Every sip I'm muttering "f*k me" under my breath. Don't believe the Jay Rayners of the world who sneer about beer. This is exquisite. Flavour journeys deserve respect, keep an open mind 🍻

Freudenpark, Nuremberg 🇩🇪 1st visit. Oh my word! Yes!!! This is what it's all about. Intrigued but this is unexpected. Completely brilliant Northside venue. Pétanque court, fish pond, incredible interior, like a road house but done by a European. Friendly service. The best Vollbier I've ever had👍🍻

Great to properly make Würzburg’s acquaintance after often passing by. The Residence of the erstwhile Prince-Bishops was described by Napoleon as ‘Europe’s largest parsonage’. On a warm evening, the old bridge, a mini-Prague Charles Bridge, teems with people merrily drinking local wine al fresco.

On the one hand this just reinforces that by "free speech" the right actually means "restricted speech for you, free speech for me and people who agree with me only". On the other hand this clearly signposts that Signal works and we should probably adopt it and dump the Meta-controlled WhatsApp.

What a brilliant scale model to paint! Made by Georgi Stamov. If you don't know what this scene depicts and if you don't know what kind of graffiti you should write on that wall, you need to do some comedy education homework ;)
