Pub of the year @camraofficial.bsky.social The Bailey Head in Oswestry got in touch about getting some prints, without knowing that my parents are regulars there, so I swagged them out with some prints. This is also the fastest Iโ€™ve seen anyone frame prints (I think within two days)

We always have at least four stouts or porters on. In our view there is not a season for dark beers, but at this time of year we shift the balance a bit... so new on is Brew York Nightmare of Brew York 8.5% Stroopwafel Stout
