All welcome

I still can’t believe that the Lambic Trail works and is so popular.

What started as a way to share a love of an under represented style whilst trying to fill pubs in January has become a calendar staple!

Thanks so much to everyone that attended and to everyone that makes it happen 🇧🇪 🍻

Sorted for the #TynesideLambicTrail 💪

#BskyBeer

Always one of the highlights of the local beery calendar 🍻
Perfect weather for it too ☀️😎🤥

This cask Azacca Mosiac hazy pale ale by Byker brewers Two By Two served at @thefreetradeinn.bsky.social was my favourite beer tried during a short trip Hyem.

A cracking beer. Nice tropical fruit flavours with a lovely mouthfeel.

Cheers! 🍻
