Just from my experience over the last few days, I have had so many cis friends who have told me they’ve bought a badge and are doing this (two bought a badge whilst in my flat this evening).

Cause confusion. Make the guidance unworkable. Protect your trans friends.

London brewery folk: does anyone have any good accountant recommendations? I'm in the market for a new, local firm.

Yellow emoji face rubbing hands together. Text reads: when the zine got liminal spaces

Liminal spaces? Beer? Wine? A ferry? This zine's got it all! You should get one!

En route to BeerX—slept through my alarm so missed my train, then missed the replacement because my Uber driver took the wrong route. Not the best start 🫠🫠🫠

Thanks love

Thanks Emma 💕

Think we’re all sorted but thanks for replying :)

Brewery friends: does anyone have a Linx10 date coder they’re familiar with? I’m trying to get ours up and running and it’s fucking with my head.

I've tried to call the HMRC beer duty team several times after speaking to someone in another team, but every time I'm on hold it hangs up on me.

I have—in theory—a very simple question about new brewery duty stuff; can anyone help pls?

London brewery friends, we might be in a bind for next week and may be looking to borrow some plain Ball cans to be returned shortly after. Anyone have a few pallets to hand they could spare a half pallet of? 😅

Just more shit in a long line of shit, just this time with the added threat of violence. Turns out telling men who want to fight you to go fuck themselves doesn’t placate them—who knew.

It’s a good pub run by good people with good security, and they got kicked out, but the guy who wanted to fight me went out inviting me outside, so there’s that, too.

Just got sexually assaulted by a woman in one of my favourite pubs demanding to know my gender, before her friend squared up to me after repeatedly telling me “it wasn’t like that.” Fuck me being trans is exhausting.

First brewday brew deck selfie!

I am so incredibly obsessed with Alexander. Ho huch hahifacfion!!!

There’s a golden lab at the taproom right now called Graham. GRAHAM.

He’s just a fucking good egg: he’s sweet, conscientious, and incredibly fair. Looks damn good in a jumper too.

Caught up on last night’s ep of the Traitors and I legit think Alexander’s my favourite player of all three series so far

I just enjoyed a pint of Table Beer for a cool £7.40 a pint and fucking yikes

Positive Tension — Roosters Brewery in Harrogate, North Yorkshire — Pellicle Tom Fozard is frustrated.  I’m sitting with Tom and his identical twin brother Oliver (Ol for short) in an office that overlooks Roosters, the brewery they bought with their dad, Ian, in 2011. F...

Wednesday is publication day at @pelliclemag.com and today we've got a really great deep dive into @roostersbrewco.bsky.social by @totalcurtis.bsky.social, edited by @lilywaite.bsky.social, with photography also by Matthew.

Tomorrow sees the biggest section of the brewery install begin, so I’m glad we got away before it gets intense. Get in girls, we’re going brewing.

I had a very not restful Christmas after a very hectic and stressful couple of months, so to be able to switch off so completely and actually rest has been an utter delight. I don’t want to go back to work—I’d rather mince around and read queer literature—but I’m in a much better headspace now

I’ve also: been on big beach walks with the dogs every day; done loads of fun photography, including night shoots of Neolithic stone formations and some fun portraiture; bought a very cute and dykey knitted tank top; cooked two meals and eaten two delicious takeaways, and one pasty; and slept well

In the week I’ve been off I’ve read two books, most of another (I started it last week), and started a fourth. I read one cover to cover yesterday, doing little else other than a big walk with the dogs.

This has absolutely been the rest I’ve needed!

I agree with you, Eoghan, but I’d add that for most (certainly younger, if not most) creatives Instagram is absolutely the primary portfolio or shopfront—it’s a concise and easily curated snapshot of work and serves almost like a contact sheet of work: styles, projects, commissions, experiments etc

Meet the women taking on Britain’s craft beer scene Change is brewing

We’re in TimeOut! 💕

Lily chatted about the dire rate of progress within craft beer when it comes to inclusion (despite advocating for it for years), and how starting Queer Brewing offered a route to genuinely making a difference.

From experience it’s intermittently good, and I’ve had some pretty bad pints there over the years

Strong Prosecco stormfront, Saga disco weekender at Haven vibes—not how I’d prefer to see in 2025

Bring back gorgeous golden retriever Sam Ryder!

Sophie Ellis-Bextor is the absolute worst best case scenario of NYE telly. Saltburn has a lot to answer for.
