Across all the venues there are some fantastic beers...oh and when you're between Axis and The Central pop into @microbusgateshead.bsky.social for a swift half of @newbarns.bsky.social 60/

Great capture of us striding into the Cat Reservoir Dogs style πŸ˜‚ Fab day out and we are incredibly lucky to have Mick at @thefreetradeinn.bsky.social and such brilliant venues taking part. So welcoming and so much great beer. After Donzoko we did indeed retreat for a cuppa in a Moomin mugπŸ‘

The Tyneside Lambic trail is always such a great reminder of why beer and pubs matter.

A huge thank you to Mick at @thefreetradeinn.bsky.social for putting the whole thing together, to the venues, and to everyone who joined the @craftbeerncl.bsky.social social yesterday ❀️

Yes and it’s always Mick’s fire at the end for us! The wrong way for the bus back to Morpeth but a strong one from the fridge and the FTI fire at the end always sets the day to rights

As parents, we're supposed to remember the first time we did stuff with our kids, but the last time is equally as significant, if not more.
