Whilst I'm cooking, in my favourite stein, cannot remember where I picked it up from, probably a charity shop, and I've never had any of their beers according to untapped, and looking at Google maps, unlikely to get to the brewery either, in the middle of nowhere in Austria.

15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage.
I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong.
Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole.

Go hard early or go home 🍻 🍻 👍

Yeah I think I did, amongst my other RJ stuff, because as my wife puts it I'm 'a fucking nerd' for his stuff 😂 🤓

Look what I just also found, not related to this release but chocolate coins?

I would put it on now, but not sure my son would appreciate it, young people have not got any taste these days! 😂 😉

Been a long time since I listened to it, enjoyed at the time. Let me see if I can find it 🤔

Ooh yes I've this too.

Yes agree, Verdant do great beers, although this wasn't one, just the glass! 🍺 😊
Really want to visit their taphouse, hopefully this year.

Whilst in the pub, I'm trying to listen to what I think is one of the best live albums ever, the Velvet Underground 1969.
A later lineup of VU, but great performance in a small texas bar, Lou's gentle banter with the crowd, great version of Ocean, I love it.

+ got a takeout as realised I hadn't put anything in the fridge on my return.

My normal quiet Sunday beer is being disrupted by a bar full of people today, as people getting in early for Wales getting smashed at rugby!

You can never beat a scooby doo Dracula!

I'm sure that the usual talksport audience were sympathetic on the phone lines and messages 🤔 🙄

In North Wales there is Geipel, a lager specialist, but you don't seem them about much outside there locality.

Oh, and it contains maize, which didn’t exist on this side of the Atlantic before 1492.

Sending thoughts and prayers to my best friend who is extremely anti VAR, but a Newcastle fan.
That goal was so offside. #AVLNEW

I wish to complain, 12th May is to long to wait 😱

I am #nowreading Michael Coney's 'Hello Summer, goodbye'.
I know nothing about either the author or book, it's one of a pile of SF book club editions I got a while back. #SF #booksky

Had the pleasure of meeting Brewdog at a charity do once. They were surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.

News, nuggets and longreads 14 February 2026: The Crying of Lot 49 Every Saturday we round up the week's best writing about beer. This time, we’ve got alcohol-free beer, Guinness, and AF Guinness. Sigh.

GOOD MORNING! Here's our weekly round up of the best writing about beer and pubs from the past week, with slightly too many mentions of Guinness and alcohol-free beer, once again. 🍻🍺

Finished reading last night Robert Silverberg's 'Shadrach in the furnace', very enjoyable, really liked his writing, more than a lot of the other big names from his period.

Now to select my next book for #nowreading

Well done, Where was that?

3 great breweries there, which site did you pick that up from?

What a venue for it!
