The Mad Brewer

Ah awesome! Thanks!

More reason to drink more Abbeydale

Does anyone know of any pubs or breweries in the UK that are run as workers collectives/employee ownership models?

Obvs micros and two person partnerships might be solely owned/operated by the owners so this is larger pubs/breweries where it’s all employee owned

Interesting! I do Schlenkerla with a cheese board. What % smoked malt did you use?

I love a good rauchbier or smoked porter

It transpires spamming him with spells was the way to go

Yeah Margit is just brick at the moment. I’m fine til the point he deploys his big hammer and then I’ve got no answer to him

After a frankly harrowing experience playing though Dark Souls a few years back; I, for some reason, decided it would be fun to try Elden Ring and it’s just kicking my arse all over. Can’t even get past the first real boss fight.

Worse places to be stranded

I tweeted about Jay Rayner making slightly sexist comments about beer on Sunday Brunch and he replied immediately apologising. Lovely chap.

Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Please Quote this with your most minor celebrity interaction

My Romanian rescue dog made her feelings about Reform quite clear.

Brewing up a Golden Ale. 3.6%, EKG. Gonna be a beaut. I’ve got a project ongoing that is giving me the excuse to make a whole lot of traditional styles and it s a palette cleanser of an exercise to get back to basics.

The spice must pour!

North East Homebrew Club Xmas
meet up.

It’s pretty obvious and the point is you don’t *need* to know that to just click that option. All you need is speech 100

If you do yes man you barely have to any interaction with the legion whatsoever. So now who’s lying?

Saying he’s doing to ‘make new vegas look bad’ is not correct.

He’s not presenting it fully for the sake of brevity. You can beat laneus if you have speech 100 and just pick obvious options.

Fallout 1 actually requires you to discover something in game, FNV does not. The main point stands.

He considers FNV the best game ever made and has said so on many occasions.

Ah awesome, thanks! I don’t know how many kids in the UK today have had a foamy banana to be honest but it was a ubiquitous sweet when I was young.

Six years since I brewed my first beer for @pelliclemag.com

Humorous but Foolish, a banana milkshake IPA.

It’s a descriptor I use for hefeweizen. I never think it smells of real banana

Thank you!

More questions for Americans: do you have these foamy banana sweets or is that just a UK thing?

I would join in with Spotify wrapped but apparently I only listened to songs for 157 minutes all year. I don’t *think* that’s right as I have a playlist on when I’m brewing and that’s about 7 hours.

I think he’s a self parody. Like I can’t believe he’s actually really like that. I have to think it’s a character.

Thanks!

So if I’m writing for a US audience I should just say gallons?

Americans: would you just say ‘gallons’ or would specify US Gallons?

Milkshakes thrown at Nigel Farage to cost an extra 5p from 2028 A new so-called ‘milkshake tax’ due to come into effect in 2028 will cost anti-Farage activists an extra 5p per throw, according to health secretary Wes Streeting.
