Yes Trev! 💪💪 @oldecottage.bsky.social

Lovely pint of Bass in @oldecottage.bsky.social

Just about outcycled this weather over the Welsh hills. Lovely tailwind to the Sandstone for a couple of great last beers before the match

White Lion next for what may be my last ever Seren. I hear Big Hand are sadly stopping trading.

Final stop the Railway in Mobberley before the train. Superb day out, 30 miles on the velo.

Back to Mobberley and the Bird in Hand. Another one saved from long term closure. Sam Smiths so had a cheeky pic in the snug. Beer spot on and lovely friendly pub.

Good Beer Guide tick at the Picturedome. Fancy food hall but nice Black Jack ale

Something a bit different for Thursday @beersinchester.bsky.social @realalecyclist.bsky.social @redjumpermartin.bsky.social

Excellent beers in Chester yesterday. Three Tuns Solstice and Charter in Old Harker's Arms.
Castle Rock Harvest Pale and Silent Brew Greater Good Bitter in Cavern of the Curious Gnome. Both really good, but the Bitter was top class. I was very tempted by Kwaremont and St Bernardus Prior on draught.

It’s Bach @beersinchester.bsky.social @redjumpermartin.bsky.social @editorcamra.bsky.social

It’s the weekend and it’s time for Bass @beersinchester.bsky.social @editorcamra.bsky.social
