Ooft that's good

Big day spreading manure and building stuff out of pallets at the plot. Time for a well earned beer at The Kernel

Watching a very wet Strade Bianchi with this gorgeous Bordeaux barrel aged soured pale from Wilderness.

More of this sort of thing please

Staying on theme with a Holy Goat Double Export Porter

Delicious BA possibly mixed ferm keeping porter from Orbit

Burning Sky Porter on cask at Stormbird tasting incredible

There are two mathematics installing a cat flap in my back door. They're obviously making it a lot more complicated then it should be.

I know, heathens

Magnificent

I've had about six different people message me about this beer this week, presumably because I'm probably one of only about ten people who actually like Parma Violets. This is great, even strangely has the powdery texture.

Friday! New brewery time, really enjoying this

After years of raving about Tempest Water Into Beer have got them in, this is outstanding

Been a while since I've had one of these

Currant status: stuck stirring a pot of blood orange and campari marmalade for half hour

Shared the link with my whisky club. Someone bought another batch of this along last time and it was bloody lovely.

Big glass or little head?

Dat impy brown

In my happy place

Just bottled my bretted Baltic Porter. Kinda wish I had the ability to force carb because it tastes great right now and I know it's going to change. My bretted plum grisette is ready so will bottle that tomorrow. Next brew is a Lapsang lictenhainer, will probably stick some brett in too.

Ahhh the soothing hug of Winterwatch

Showing Simon how to use a kettle bell. That guy may be able to cycle 100 miles no problem but he has no balance or hope of maintaining form when it comes to the kettle bell.

I'm a big absinthe fan so I think I'm the only one looking forward to it

Someone has gone rogue and bought some Scottish absinthe

Whisky club is out of control for January

Aye I think that's accurate. I thought maybe Inky Prose would be a bretted stout.

Went to B&Q to look at paint, came out with a £10 clearance corkscrew hazel (it has been pointed out that these paint colours sound like Burnt Mill beer names).

My brother's nickname is fish head (for reasons I've never figured out). We used to sing that to him.

Yeah we've got one at Water into Beer in February but tis a trek

This guy doesn't usually sleep on mice so I'm going with boozy ghost
