Blogging and commenting about beer for quite a while.
A tad late. Full refund and a free coffee and Scottish shortbread. Plan. Check flat, go to Aldgate Tap.
No THT today. Off to that London tomorrow, so gardening and packing. Touch of class for today's first drinks.
It is beer o' clock at Tandleman Towers.This Lidl offering is decent and brewed in Germany.
Just having this in the sunshine. Not a lot wrong with it. As E on the Augustiner Helles, nice to compare. Not much in it really.
Celebrating Scotland 🏴 win with decent beer on our deck. Hot and sunny.
Damn. Forgot the photo. OP in excellent condition despite us being first in.
There is quite a story behind this fantastic beer. Your hero, Tandleman is pictured on the can. Zoom in. If you want the story I can send a link, but you need to ask as I'd have to get off my arse otherwise.
Yours truly with Michael Lees-Jones of JW Lees and our esteemed Deputy Chairman Mike Robinson at a GBG presentation at the Cross Keys Uppermill yesterday.
Fab night at our CAMRA Rochdale, Oldham and Bury branch meeting last night. Our guest speaker @totalcurtis.bsky.social went down a storm and flogged all his stock of books. Come again anytime Matt.
The mile uphill is rewarded with pint of Lees Brewers Dark. Previously GB Mild this is a former Champion Mild of Britain
Lunchtime pint. You could never mistake this for a Northern beer, but really quite good. Tring Sunshine.
@totalcurtis.bsky.social in full flow at his new book launch last night. It is highly recommended. A great piece of work.
Want to see AI in beery action? Watch this shite about Youngers Tartan Special. Photo is a fine example. Guess where it wasn't brewed? And it wasn't a lager ffs.
A rare visitor to our North West shores. Well - I've not seen it before. Good it was too. Well done JDW Middleton
The Shipwright's Arms. Inside this abomination of a glass is Southwark LPA which is thin and weedy. GBG? Well it is a fab boozer, but no way in my book. Two Sharps beers and this very poor beer.
