There Is A Light That Never Goes Out — The Dog and Bell in Deptford, London — Pellicle On a Friday night in early December, Deptford’s Dog and Bell is Christmas as imagined by a Haribo-addled toddler.  A huge resin Santa, grinning merrily in his sleigh, squats in Prince Street out...

I’ve written for @pelliclemag.com about the Dog and Bell, a unique pub whose evolution over the past 40 years nevertheless illustrates the story of modern London pubs. It’s here: www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/9/...

This is great.

They don’t want Belgian beer to change – and that’s their problem* — Brussels Beer City *Or, a (semi-serious) rebuttal of Boak and Bailey’s “We don’t want Belgian beer to change – and that’s our problem” Picture this: it’s 1925, and you’re a young English man of means stepping of...

Copy of A Pub For All Seasons on a promotional thing

If in Bristol Thursday October 16 you might be interested in a free book event I’ll be doing at Small Bar, 7 for 7.30, where I’ll be talking about ‘A Pub For All Seasons’ and reading from it - I’ll also have paperback copies which I’ll be selling for a tenner (rrp £12.99) and signing, interested?

Hooray!

If you’re into audible books my Pub For All Seasons is currently available for 99p www.amazon.co.uk/Pub-All-Seas...

It’s very delish and a couple of pints are great fuel for the cycle back to Exeter!

It was straight from the cask and it was lovely - the only beers that get pulled through a sparkler out here in Devon are St Austell’s 🎶

Back at you (Summer Lightning)

I tend to gravitate to Billie, open up my laptop and work and then there’s Le Coq round the corner and Papier Dore towards the cathedral

Founder Alex Ganum is one of a handful of the most gifted brewers I’ve encountered in my travels around the world, and on a number of occasions, tasting his beer left me startled by its originality and accomplishment. With its singular vision and personality, Upright was an irreplaceable brewery.

This week's beery news notes were brought to you by many including @beerfoodtravel.bsky.social @saintsgambit.bsky.social @thebeernut.bsky.social @atjbeer.bsky.social @pelliclemag.com @thetimes.com and my little problem with watching ALL THE BASEBALL!!!!

You've definitely sold me on the place.

Read this story on Pellicle the other day and it inspired me to have a Proper Job from St. Austell this week for #notbeerbods hoppy bittery goodness #bskybeer
