Bartenders blend 0.0 with alcoholic drinks, including 60/40 Guinness The Palmerstown House Pub in Dublin debuted the new tipple on its Instagram page, explaining that the pint has 'all of the Guinness character' but is 'just a little lighter' than a pint of fully alcoh...

I think they should just let them keep winning until suitable challengers emerge! #pubquiz @ladbible.bsky.social

A great perspective on design facilitating atmosphere - "...tables around the edges...a through-space running down the middle...ensures...communal atmosphere.....the cask beer storage... so bartenders must cross the space to pour it....helps the whole pub feel like part of the action."

‘More than a pint’: MP pushes for cask cultural heritage recognition Liam Conlon, MP for Beckenham and Penge, has urged fellow parliamentarians to support a petition to include cask ale in the UK's inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

We were so lucky - a table was leaving just as we arrived!

Kay’s Bar, Edinburgh! Fabulous! Such a great pub - it had been on our list before and we’d never got there. So glad we made it there today! Great beers, red ceiling, doggy friendly! #pub

Teuchters, Edinburgh- for the rugby - absolutely rammed! Bar staff fabulously efficient and we even managed to get a table! #pub

Yes- all sorts of drinks!

Breakfast at The Holyrood 9a after a walk up Arthur’s Seat! #pub

The Port O’ Leith - faux nautical, ok beer, odd vibe but not unpleasant! #bar

Teuchters Landing, Leith - a labyrinth of rooms, beer from metres away and lots of tourists! #bar #pub

The Bowler’s Rest, Leith! Lovely, traditional pub with 2”wonderful friendly locals! Husband said - “it might make my top 10!” #pub

The Leith Depot - modern bar/pub - relaxed, interesting artwork and no I didn’t have a Pickleback! #bar

Had to stop at the Victoria Bar on the way to Leith! Scandi inspired and excellent snacks! #bar

Off the train at Haymarket, Edinburgh and straight into Ryrie’s Bar! My husband said it had been tidied up since he was last here - probably decades ago! A very Scottish thistle wallpaper! #bar

OPINION: Beer drinkers too hung up on ABVs Beer drinkers are too hung up on ABVs, Phil Mellows writes after Heineken UK announced plans to lower the strength of Foster's lager.

@philmellows.bsky.social talking sense:
"If the quality's there, lower ABVs should be a win for everyone' and for all the people choosing to 'coast' (i.e. drink lower ABVs), it's a welcome move.

Spotted - in Bromsgrove - a Periodic Table of Beer! #beer

My first visit to a pub in Bromsgrove - the Hop Pole Inn - rugby on the tv at one end and football on the tv at the other - plus darts, stage and plenty of beer! #pub

Rules are important! My dog tries to get behind the bar where the treats are kept every time!

I'm fan of pubs and of dogs and rarely visit a pub without my dog. I'm also aware that not everyone likes dogs and I am happy to see a clear set of dog rules which helps dog owners to know what is expected of them/their pooch and everyone can enjoy the pub together! #pubdog

It has been an absolute pleasure to supervise Molly for her PhD. The time has gone so quickly and I can't believe it is almost over! Congratulations Dr Brown! 🎉

Great to do a presentation today for the Food, Wine and Hospitality Center of Excellence @KedgeBS! Lots of discussion about the consumption of no and low alcohol drinks and its role in hospitality! #nolo

Sadly you’re probably right! 🙁

The Gate Pub in Malton is becoming the Filly & Flagon! Not sure when it will be opening or what it will be like but at least it won’t be closed! #pub

Gen Z drinking less, or just drinking differently? New data challenges assumptions New research from Lumina Intelligence and CGA by NIQ shows Gen Z are still drinking and socialising in pubs and bars, but with new habits. Younger adults are driving later nights, mixing alcoholic and...
