Farage wanting to kick people out of the country because they migrated here made me angry and made me think about which best of British people and things wouldn't have happened were it not for the brilliance of immigration to the UK.

Since we’re all talking about it I want to blow up a real female space pioneer, Mae Jemison, an actual astronaut. She’s a graduate of Stanford and Cornel Medical School, served in the peace corps, started an educational nonprofit, and worked for the CDC researching vaccines. That’s a woman in space

Through The Fields, is a mixed fermentation beer, aged in one of our oak foudres then rested on fresh, local elderberries.
On Friday 28th March we are releasing this beer in a limited number of 20l kegs, across the UK. Pouring in truly fabulous pubs and bars the remainder will be in 750ml bottles.

Is craft beer in crisis? In our latest Substack post @philmellows.bsky.social visits a pub called The Independent to find out how a constantly changing variety of beers brewed by independent brewers can be the key to success: britishbeerbreaks.substack.com/p/drink-up-t...

Can we take a moment to celebrate this train. 9167 will cross 4 countries this evening and dive beneath the sea on its way from Amsterdam to London. We took over from our Dutch colleagues in Brussels. It's quite simply Europe on rails, and it makes me very proud indeed. 😊

Fact of the day: The word "isinglass" comes from the Dutch "huizenblaas" which literally means "sturgeon bladder".

Who benefits from the total confusion in the beer market? - Pete Brown Drinkers can't tell craft from macro and feel deceived when they find out. They think that Spanish beer is great and that Britain can’t brew beer, and they drink brands they believe are Spanish which ...

Wise words from Pete Brown.

"None of them want to know about decoction or terpenes" but "They do like having little tidbits of trivia that are worth repeating to the people who know slightly less about beer than them."

We are BIG fans of the new SIBA Indie Beer campaign. For too long, multinationals have used words like "craft" to portray a false image of independent ownership! This resource makes it easier to see who makes your beer. We love.

If God wants to prove their existence once and for all, using a hurricane to wipe a specific golf course/den of iniquity off the map while leaving every other property intact would be an amazing way to do it.

for the past 3 years I've put them in the whirlpool at 80 celsius. I use a Brewtools 150, to avoid them clogging everything i put them in the cleaned malt pipe and circulate over the top of them. This year I put some in the boil in a muslin bag. not had any off flavours so far

'People are right to be angry', says water boss The boss of Water UK says the UK's system is old and that bill rises proposed should be higher.

We do need higher bills.

But not to make an appallingly run company "financeable and investable".

Let them go bust, impose a large haircut on bondholders, and use bill payers money for sewers not dividends/bond repayments.
