Great to see you Jared. Catch up soon 🍻

A big weekend 🤩

Excited to accept 'Herts Beer of the Year' award tonight at the White Hart Tap in St Albans (ft. Tring tap takeover)

Sunday - we'll feature in a Beer Ties panel at the Alban Arena with host @beerwithtim.bsky.social 🍺

Here's to CAMRA members weekend and its 'City of Ale' events 🙌

Excited to be chairing a panel discussion on the beer tie & guest beer rights at @camraofficial.bsky.social members weekend next Sunday
Joining me will be reps of Tring Brewery, Mad Squirrel Brewery and SIBA.
I look forward to what will no doubt be a robust & engaging discussion!

Thursday night in Montpellier, every bar is packed, every terrace is full, I had steak, chips, salad for dinner with free bread and a pint and it came to €26. People are spending money!

This is what the UK could have if we just gave hospitality a break from the endless tax and overhead pummelling!

Just saw your in the States. I imagine it’s all much more prevalent over there. Though as I’ve never been I can’t really comment

I don’t doubt the strength of your feeling. I am not really a fan myself, but their impact, good or bad, can’t be understated. I do think theyve reached the high water mark now and I definitely see a diversifying of the craft beer market again in my part of the country.

😂 the wonders of the wide world of beer and personal choice. You are definitely not alone in that opinion! Ironically I drink very little of them too (these days at least)

Next month marks 10 years since the release of Cloudwater DIPA V3, one of the first hazy hype beers, and Gipsy Hill’s Drifter, the first UK brewed New England IPA. I’ve written a post reflecting on 10 years of UK NEIPAs & the styles impact on British beer culture.

Bit of a coup for us, we've landed the gig running the bar for Prince Andrew's 66th birthday party tonight. Right, better get the van loaded and head down to Windsor!

This is an incredible piece of work. Well worth reading and understanding. Well done @laurenleek.eu anyone with an interest in keeping pubs alive should read.

It’s on at the brewery now, will be readily available in many Wells pubs over the coming weeks, hopefully you like it 👍

Eamonn you might like to try the newly released Double Star, new permanent cask ale from Brewpoint, released to celebrate 150 years of Wells.

Yeah the question is simplified, and there’s more nuance. I quite like a nonic but don’t really like a tulip. But in general choosing between those with or without a handle I would generally prefer a handle

Is the correct answer.

Just looked the Red Willow ones up, they are very lush glasses! Worth making an exception for.

A point of fullers ESB in a branded pint glass with a handle.

A pint of Timothy Taylor Landlord in a branded glass without a handle.

Cask ale drinkers? If given a choice do you prefer to drink your pint from a glass with a handle, or a glass without one? Doing some research and trying to gauge what the general consensus is (if any)

A real shame and a loss to the local area. The first loss for 2026 and sadly won’t be the last.

Had a great time last night at #BGBW25 @britbeerwriters.bsky.social congratulations to all the winners, all thoroughly deserved!

The dreaded day is here. A nation of hospitaly operators holds their breath.

I had a great afternoon at Brewpoint today, recording a podcast episode with @beerwithtim.bsky.social, having a tour of the brewery, and sampling several of their beers - six after the tour and three over some lunch. Really impressed with the beers.

And to you too Martin!

Thank you Laura, and to you too!

Thank you Matt, and same to you and the rest of the @pelliclemag.com contributors!
