That has to be the worst AI-generated drivel I have ever seen. “The beer industry takes place mainly indoors.”
Seriously?

Today’s portion of “Fuck you” goes to people who send you emails with titles like “This is your final chance to leave feedback for the Premier Inn Sheffield.” Oh no! Thank gods you gave me another chance! I was recently pestered to leave a review of a parking space, FFS.

Absolutely. If delicacy means the same thing as “religious rite”.

I’ve always said that if this sick had originated in Korea or
Vietnam instead of Yorkshire, it would be the hippest thing in Shoreditch right now.

Yep - they’ve gone all modern these days and offer a choice of pies. But pork pie from Turner’s is the only way to go.

The tea was tea like I can’t make at home. Perfectly brown.

Barnsley town centre. Pork pie, mushy peas, gravy and mint sauce. I feel sorry for you that you are not here with me.

The same fucking criminal wanker said he would end the war in Ukraine within his first 24 hours of being president. Why are you taking the rantings of a senile sociopath seriously and reporting them as as if they have any basis in sanity? The man is clearly insane.

Remember he was going to sort the Ukraine war within 24 hours of being president ?

Britain Lost 14,000 Third Places. They Were Called Pubs. Is Your Local Next? How private equity reshaped the local and the postcode tool that shows the pubs most at risk.

This is quite astonishing. Can’t pretend I understand it all, and am not sure I 100% agree with conclusions, but a social studies academic analyses pub closures in a totally different way from anyone else ever has and comes up with some extraordinary insights. laurenleek.substack.com/p/britain-lo...

They live in a house in Norwich. Every Christmas they open it to the public and do gigs in their living room. The first time I heard this I was standing between the grand piano and the drums and it utterly destroyed me.

Shut up. Listen. Nothing you or I want to say is as urgent as what the Neutrinos have to say. Open a barrel-aged imperial stout and be quiet, you twat. Seriously. Shut up and listen. Don’t forget the imperial stout … wait… see, I told you, there it is. That bit.

Love that place! Somewhere on YouTube there’s a video of me doing beer reviews in there when I was very young…

OPINION: BrewDog are the punk pioneers who went out of tune Pete Brown looks at BrewDog’s rise, rebellion and rapid decline that mirrored punk’s brief chaos, leaving staff, fans and the craft beer scene to reckon with its legacy.

The Morning Advertiser asked me for an opinion on BrewDog. I turned to Tasting Notes for inspiration. www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/Article/2026...

Tom Lehrer said satire died when Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Piece Prize. What would he have made of a “Labour” minister of Asian descent being the most racist ever UK cabinet minister while DELIBERATELY cosplaying a Netflix Nazi?

I agree with you 100%, and would love to get my hands on this but… ALL whisk(e)y is beer turned into whisk(e)y.

They're usually quite pale, bright, (English) hoppy - evocative taste of hedgerows and fields and sunnier days!
