Bright green poster style advert for Think While You Drink with times and details about the event similar to those in the post. The bottom reminds us this is collaboration between Good Chemistry Brewing, the Drinking Studies Network and the University of Bristol.
Our next Think While You Drink features @philmellows.bsky.social in conversation with our fellow organiser & beer expert, Prof Sam Goodman, about his new book @beerbreaks.bsky.social at the Famous Royal Navy Volunteer (22 July at 6.30pm). A great place to get tips on good British holiday beers!

Up bright and early to catch the cross country train and I am now en route to Falmouth for what promises to be an exciting CWWA conference starting tomorrow. Plus, slow solo travel is the best, esp in conference season. Can’t wait to meet @joparsons.bsky.social and everyone at @thecwwa.bsky.social!

What do you think are the best American paperback crimes originals from the late 1940s/50s that are not well known? I’m not talking Dan Marlowe, Goodis, Thompson or Elliott Chaz, etc. l’m talking about the really good stuff that I might not have heard of, that has flown under the radar.

I enjoyed it but it all wrapped up rather quickly which was annoying
