Breaking down the pale ales: IPA versus APA With all the different beer styles - complete with their acronyms, complicated histories, and reinventions - it sometimes feels impossible to quickly define what a drinker can expect to find in their ...

‘In reality, they were a world away from a modern IPA’

Handsworth Horticultural Institute - 'I bought a house and the neighbours moved' A working men's club in Birmingham was investigated for operating a colour bar in the early 1990s. They weren't an isolated case

Let’s not forget what Handsworth was like

Tory Robert Jenrick says the Handsworth area of Birmingham was ‘one of the worst-integrated places’ he had ever been to.

Visit the Grove, dickhead

You'll be delighted to hear that I've finally got around to putting some back copies of @londonbeercity.bsky.social on my website. Here's March: www.willhawkes.net/blog/2025/ma...

Absolutely heartbreaking

David and Rosie keeping the afternoon crowd watered at @davidjesudason.bsky.social’s Trad v Mod Cask Night, yesterday.

Plenty in reserve for the weekend, too.

Pleasure to be involved in what can only be described as a PUBRUNCAST

Trad x Mod Cask Night at the Shirker’s, with your host, @davidjesudason.bsky.social in the house from 5pm.

No, sorry this isn't it. Honestly can someone write about this who's actually run a small business please? The rise in minimum wage didn't affect my business because we already pay over that. What affects us is rent, energy, national insurance, and the price of absolutely EVERYTHING we buy going up

Blocked a boomer who wants me as his personal journalist and helpdesk. Now messaging me on LinkedIn. How do you deal with these self-entitled deluded people?

Nigel Farage isn’t racist. He just says things that are racist, is adored by racists and hates anyone who isn’t racist (and isn’t white)

I haven’t been cleanly shaved in about 20 years. It feels very odd 🤣

Tomorrow

The problem with haircuts is there is no going back…

I’ll be serving this up on Friday!

I’ve got a bit of a virus and don’t feel like working for a few days. Luckily, my computer has my back

Councils get their head turns by over promising and should consider local groups instead. Mind you, if this American came in promising the world in a place like Catford that could be too tempting. But look at Catford now. Not only there isn’t a cinema but nearly all the pubs have shut

Thought this was a typo. Think Labour should rebrand as Wet Populism

I am here to exist

Neutral Tones BY THOMAS HARDY We stood by a pond that winter day, And the sun was white, as though chidden of God, And a few leaves lay on the starving sod; - They had fallen from an ash, and were gray. Your eyes on me were as eyes that rove Over tedious riddles of years ago; And some words played between us to and fro On which lost the more by our love. The smile on your mouth was the deadest thing Alive enough to have strength to die; And a grin of bitterness swept thereby Like an ominous bird a-wing.... Since then, keen lessons that love deceives, And wrings with wrong, have shaped to me Your face, and the God curst sun, and a tree, And a pond edged with grayish leaves.

Someone posted a poem that I didn’t think liked poetry. Well, here’s one from a novelist whose books bore me but poems I adore

Thanks. It’s proper old-school reporting. My bread and butter

Very pleased to work with @jim.londoncentric.media on this important piece
