It’s the big 5-0 tomorrow. Just chatting to the kids there and pointed out that if I live to be 100 they’ll be nearly 70 so we can all go about with our free bus passes together. That shut them up 😅
That’s the shop open for the day, till 6pm.
Top sellers in the shop yesterday?
1. Simple Things Fermentations’ Peated Brown Ale
2. The Veil’s whitebugatti Triple IPA
3. Cromarty’s AKA IPA

I can’t now recall the thinking behind combining coffee, cardamom and coconut but it works 👌 I brewed this in my shed at least 10 years ago and now it’s on the bar at the Crown Posada. If you’re in Newcastle this evening come and hear the >140 characters version of the (admittedly nerdy) story
Come and join us in Newcastle on Friday next week! We’ll be propping up the bar at the wonderful Crown Posada where you’ll find a dazzling array of STF beers on cask and keg.
Our first pale hoppy beer of 2026: US Pale - a lovely looking and ludicrously tasty Pale Ale full of juicy tropical fruit with a zingy citrus-pith edge. It lands somewhere between a NEIPA and a Westie- is this a 'No Coast?' Doesn't matter. Good beer is good beer.
Always a great pleasure to catch up with the legends of Leith @pilotbeer.co.uk
I love it when you walk to the pub, sit down with a pint and a packet of crisps and get a notification saying “Move goal achieved”. Damn right! 💪
Always nice to see you!
Saison!
Cheers! Just seen this, great to hear!
A decent evening right there.
Merry Christmas! 🎄
You work with the best people 🤘
I’m going to open a vape shop, or possibly tobacconist, and call it ‘Wholly Smokes’.
The pub where it all began for me 🙌
“In busier times, a table is won through stealth, trickery, speed and wit. Stand with your beer and enjoy the room as it is, using your peripheral vision to scout for a leaving group with the precision of a sniper. Swoop in with bags and coats, using the correct balance of confidence and manners.”👌
I’ve been saving this until I had time to relax and enjoy it. Where better than Fell NQ with a pint of Tinderbox

Thanks!
Two new beers this week -
Tenements Lager; 3.8% gluten-free. Our small batch take on a big Scottish favourite
Belgian Christmas Ale; 2025's vintage is 6.3% with a Stout-y grist that's big on chocolate/dried fruit and Belgian-style fermentation
🤘🍻
Cheers! 🍻
No. 100 was Dubbel Date btw, the canned version. We did a bottled one too, but upped the amount dates this time around so, along with a new label, I’m saying it’s unique

We include the malt bill, hop varieties and yeast strain used for every beer, mainly because I used to like seeing that info back in my homebrew days.
I’ve just uploaded the 100th unique beer to the ‘Beers’ page on our website. I’m usually fastidious about doing this but I missed this one when we released it a couple of weeks ago… 🎉

Festival season continues with a mini-run of three consecutive weekends later this month, starting with North Hop in Inverness on the 17th/18th, then it’s over to Edinburgh for the Big Swally on the 25th and back to Glasgow on the 1st Nov for Glasladies’ Beer Is For Everyone.
Join us if you can!
🆕🏴 A brown beer in the Belgian style with the trademark fruity Abbey Ale flavour profile and fortified with organic Deglet Noor dates.
Rich and complex aromas of dried fruit and banana mingle with delicate nutty and spice notes in a beer that’s soft, smooth and deliciously easy drinking.
