Long delayed £73M #GuinnessOpenGateBrewery Covent Garden to open December 11. Will include a microbrewery, beers tailored to London market, & museum tracing brewing history of the area. Old Brewers Yard was home to leading 18C Porter brewer Combe, later bought & closed by Watneys. #BskyBeer

Really cool look forward to seeing them in the wild

All the Nelsonny goodness frm this 3-way (4including Manchester museum) collab -very NEIPA but low carbonation making it seek like a cask ale. A hint of the oniony vegetation creeping in but overall very moreish

6 ciders and perries from ross on Wye

My @rosscider.bsky.social subscriber box came yesterday and what better bottle to open first than the 2023 raison d'etre!
