A shadow of the 4.7% live beer it once was :(

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

My hometown, Tonbridge, has two new entries for 2026. Does it feature in your schedule yet?

That sounds nuts, but I have to try it now 🍻

I'm going into anaphylaxis just looking at the pics. I'm out

Bathed in sunshine in the South East, so hot in the garden I took my jumper off ☀️

You still getting festival beers? 😲

Anyone fancy giving this a go on the bar? Same price as a Keighley Bitter Firkin.

Bonus points for dark beer on offer

#GBG2026, Dovecote Inn, Capel. Have only been here before when delivering. Food looks good, beer is good. Gun, Larkins and Three Acre available

Sorry to hear that Sean, all the best wishes.

Have you done all the pre existing entries over the years then?

What do you do then, the year's new entries, or visit some old faves too? I might have a go Kent's entries this year but there's some tricky ones to get to without a car/cab.

One of the best beery posts I've read in a while!

A flirty Meta AI bot invited a retiree to meet. He never made it home. Impaired by a stroke, a man fell for a Meta chatbot originally created with Kendall Jenner. His death spotlights Meta’s AI rules, which let bots tell falsehoods.

Meta AI's chatbot 'Big sis Billie' not only pretended to be a real person-they invited an elderly vulnerable man to come visit them in NY. The man fell & died during his trip. According to internal docs, accuracy of AI is not a concern for Meta.

Wildly inappropriate

Yeah, I meant the 2070s!

Presumably your state pension age is somewhere in the 70s or beyond!

97 is pretty good, the way I feel now 67 is going to be an achievement, hanging on I hope to receive a state pension

I always wanted to be Ritchie Blackmore, or at least be able to play guitar like him. Probably too late now I'm in my sixties. Still I live in hope

Sorry for your loss, I have a brother who had leukemia 18 months ago and I can't imagine my heartbreak if he hadn't have come through that. But he did. Was he an older or younger brother? Also sorry because we actually don't know each other!

Fraktal Glass...wot a name!

In Fuggles Tonbridge, waiting the same, with Verdant/LHG WC IPA

Most days 🍻

Wow, that's very tidy. Wish mine looked like that.

This mighty Hawkwind, led by the ageless Dave Brock.

Who are they? I only recognise farridge

Ahh..fields of the neph...👍

I've done a couple of maple and pecan brown ales in the past. Seems to work well but I have to use a flavouring since I have a nut allergy, so don't know if it gets the taste or real pecans
