We were far & away the better side but just couldn't score. Shared points with the Eagles. Still not safe & going to the wire. #WHU #COYI

Cheers Jared, enjoy the book & pubs! 🍻

So much fun at @camraofficial.bsky.social members' weekend 🍺

Great to catch up with friends + to talk on @beerwithtim.bsky.social panel yesterday!

The cherry on the cake; a saunter round St Albans Museum's Historic Inns exhibit + a new book from the gift shop, Ale City by @rogerprotz.bsky.social 😄

Time to get hopping Here’s a fact that will freeze the blood of all beer lovers: there are now more vineyards in Kent than hop farms. Since the 16th century, the county o...

Brewdog failure leaves Lords cricket ground with large debt & West Ham FC with a much smaller one In 2024 Lords Cricket Ground took the perhaps surprising step of announcing Brewdog has their beer partner for the ground in the 2025 season. Reportedly things went well and 750,000 pints were sold…

I’m in iWeekend today with a pick of pubs by railway stations. And right now I just happen to be on a train!

Beer Today: 22 years of independent beer news - Beer Today After 22 years of continuous publication, Beer Today is set to end in its present form, on 21st May, publisher Darren Norbury has announced

Sad news about @beertoday.bsky.social. Darren does an amazing job. Please chip in on Patreon if you can, and see whether we can keep it going in some form: beertoday.co.uk/2026/04/16/b...

I'm afraid I didn't Rob. Would be interested to see, thanks.

Debate: Revival of @camraofficial.bsky.social #GreatBritishBeerFestival in right location.
Losses: GBBF, annual national celebration of British brewing industry, attracting celebrities, politicians. National attention for cask ale, coverage TV, radio & press. Major focus for #ChampionBeerofBritain

Something weird is going on there!

I must say this is not something I've come across but will let you know if I do, & how it's priced!

Some cask breweries are actually doing quite well, other beer fests going ahead. GBBF missed though.

Yes, me too. Definitely see you in September. Good luck to your Potteries branch, news/events always welcome!

Even more good stuff with it!

Sadly my motion was lost. Let's hope the review next year will find a way to a slimmed down GBBF, showcase for Cask, campaigning tool for CAMRA. The packed glory days of Olympia, rebuilt & unsuitable, & Earls Court, now housing, are over.

Feline heaven in from the cold.

Cheers Rob, glad to see two former national Chairs voted in favour. Good to see you yesterday.

Ah, indeed!

Hope you enjoyed/are enjoying the lovely Boot. Sorry I missed you. Was there a couple of days ago.

Keith, I didn't see you! Would have enjoyed a drink together!

Attended @camraofficial.bsky.social AGM/conference earlier. Voted for @rogerprotz.bsky.social motion calling for a new look at the Great British Beer Festival at 2027 conference. There is a balance of risk & campaigning ambition. Anyway now for a Porter @popnhops.bsky.social

I think punters did find GBBF unique - for many, unique enough for repeat international travel to the annual gathering.

Looking forward to lively debates & seeing friends old & new @camraofficial.bsky.social AGM Members Weekend today, here in my home town of St Albans where CAMRA started. I'm moving a motion to restore GBBF asap.

I'm down for a book signing at lunch time today but can take time to go & have drink/chat or after that. I'm trying to move a motion today too but don't know what time. Fingers crossed. See you later!

It's the CAMRA Members Weekend in St Albans. CAMRA needs to have a presence here! @rogerprotz.bsky.social is doing a great job, and my branch @camrapotteries.bsky.social is there. Time to ditch X and come to where the sky is blue.

Pint of beer

First pre-Dutch stop is the Royal Oak. A pint of Harvey's Old.

The Ferry Inn, Oxney. GBG✅ First visit here for 20 years or so. My friend Tony had his honeymoon here in the winter of 1978. Bleak. Not on the GBG app any longer but the house beer was pretty decent. A Goachers hybrid you often find in Kent. Food smelled good. Bar blockers were annoying.

A crispy pint of lager with a cloudy head of foam with a bite taken out of it

A pint of Holts Diamond at the airport Holts pub is a true pleasure
