#BrewDog latest: James Watt now out of the race to buy back the company. Advanced talks with Denmark's Royal Unibrew & Dublin based C&C, owners of Tennent's & Magners & Bulmers cider. Neither wants the pubs. Breweries only. #BskyBeer

Now we are Ten. Today is Dudley's Birthday. Or is it? Dudley & beloved predecessors, Max & Tipsy, adopted rescuees, all given the same generic birthdate, 1st March. Treats in store anyway. #HappyBirthdayDudley

St Austell's Korev. "Like waves crashing against our shores, this is the coast in a bottle." A tad over the top maybe but a well-made genuine Cornish lager. Cornish-grown barley. Refreshing & crisp. Unlike "Cornish" Doom Bar bottled in Burton. #BskyBeer

A complete historical experience (in every sense) this evening. Bass & Double Diamond otb in Whitelock's Leeds, although I opted for Tigertops (Wakefield) Edwardian Porter - strong and rich. Excellent.

After a couple of days with a highly inconvenient lurgy, finally a beer in London. A pint of Harvey's Best in The Harp, Charing Cross. What a fine sight! 😊 🍻

There is, in that Spurs did an assessment of the land of Whitewebbs Park for a training facility & recognised the tree as a "fine specimen", a year before the felling.

Latest: #EnfieldOak felled by contractors for Mitchells & Butlers last April. Calls for criminal investigation. Report rubbishes reasons given for felling. Not their tree, no risk to health & safety, tree was healthy. The veteran oak, piece of ancient woodland, ecologically richer than Sycamore Gap.
