VIOLENCE is never the answer, my granddad used to say. As such, when I appeared on The Weakest Link a few years back, and Anne Robinson asked "What "V' is a noun meaning 'physical force intend. ed to hurt, damage or kill?'," I said I didn't know, and subsequently got voted off without winning a penny. Thanks a fucking bunch, granddad. T Ellen, London
ISBF beer?
The beer name took me far too long…
Blimey!!
Oooh. I bet you loved that…!!
How did that go?
Our latest beer is a special one, brewed to celebrate the life of Tina Parker who bravely battled Motor Neurone Disease (MND).
We'll be making a donation to MND research and the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice from sale proceeds of Fortina.

Fantastic! That’s a fair streak you’ve got going!!
Yesterday we had an incident in the bar. We're pretty disgusted by it and we're gutted that it happened in our bar (as we're woke, lefty, liberal do gooders and we're proud), we'd like to extend our apologies to the family that had to suffer the indignity of their paths crossing with bigots, we really do strive to make the bar a safe space Jago, our team member dealt with the men as soon as he realised what was happening, As the men left (were kicked out by Jago) one of them said "Come on, we're getting kicked out for our views" I'd like it to stand on record that that is exactly why they were kicked out. If your views are racist, dont come If your views are homophobic, dont come If your views are misogynistic or misandrist, dont come If your views are transphobic, dont come. If you have wound up in our bar and you hold those views, keep your damn mouth shut. There's loads to talk about that cant be labled a hate crime, stick to those easy and numerous topics (and ni-one will ever find out that youre terrible). We dont care if you think we're the thought police for telling you that hate crimes will not be tolerated in our establishment. We are a freehouse, you're on our property and we sell a controlled substance. Youre here by consent and not by right, cross any lines that we dont consent to and you can find somewhere else to drink immediately. Racist? Drink - somewhere else.
Black text on white reads: No place for homophobia, fascism, sexism, racism, hate.
Love and solidarity to our friends down the hill at Drink? #HebdenBridge who've sadly had to deal with some bigoted visitors this weekend. Our places are safe spaces and not the place for you.
When Hawkshead Brewery shed most of its team and closed its tap room, I thought beer in Cumbria would suffer. I needn't have worried.
My latest story for @pelliclemag.com is about the breweries and all the people and pubs that make up this county.

We can’t promise there’ll be sunshine at the taproom this weekend, but we can promise there’ll be lots of beer!
You can check out what’s on tap via our website: www.elusivebrewing.com/tap-room
Ah mate. I hope you have a good one!
Perhaps???
Ow much!??!!??!!????

Speak for yourself 🤣
Yeah, I’m pretty good at that are too. Especially if I was there… 🤣
We got a coach from Stafford which arrived late. Just about got in for Helloween.
Google seems to indicate a band called V2. But I don’t remember them at all.
Pffft etc.
Always splendid.
I saw Garbage there a couple years ago or so. The only other time I think was Helloween on Keeper of 7 Keys 1988
Oooh Matron!
