If it cost 1p it would be too much...

Cheers Linda. Did make it to the Black Horse but so packed I didn't bother to take a pic!

Very nice overdue day out in Preston yesterday. Just loads of good places with very good beer selections.

It's just about acceptable when it's free at a wedding.

Nice stop off at Newbarns brewery tap in Leith yesterday. Could've easily stayed for more than one but had places to be/things to do/other bars to visit etc.

First-time stop off at Lost in Leith.

Very nice place as expected, great tap list, and the GF Leith Juice is a pretty good livener to start with.

A wander up a very windy Conic hill overlooking Loch Lomond today.

And now a lovely Belgian Single from the appropriately iconic @stfermentations.bsky.social

Lovely long day on the Scottish coast along the Firth of Clyde.

So a very nice amber lager from local @stfermentations.bsky.social & my hometown brewery Rivington seems appropriate πŸ˜‹

Very nice to see @jamesksowerby.bsky.social tonight. Impromptu catch up but was a most pleasant couple of hours.

Very nice hour or two @thebrewerybar.bsky.social drinking a really good cask 5% NZ pale, and can't argue with £3.50 a pint on a Sunday evening 🍻

Been following your tracking of vile people like this, and hope you get some accountability.

But also wanted to say as someone who grew up in Ellesmere Port around the same time you did, and as a fellow Evertonian, this online abuse reminds me of what I saw as a kid when I lived there. Disgraceful.

Colourful buildings, coffee, a cathedral, and a bit of crafty beer in Poznan 🍻

A bit of sunshine-infused session IPA and roast pork knuckle in Wroclaw.

A pretty perfect combination tbh πŸ˜‹

In the old days I'd probably moan about this not really being a West Coast IPA, but who cares, it's just a nice hoppy beer in a lovely riverside beach bar in Wroclaw 🍻
