Noticed in Tesco earlier that Northern Monk have done a collab with iconic (?) Golden Casket Group sweet brand, Millions. This feels one step closer to beers one day coming with a free toy / gift - like the goat charm around the neck of Ayinger Celebrator but more B&M minded.

Normalise going into a pub and just getting a sticky toffee pudding and a pint

Singha branded Lindr, rare fruit.

For the Sunday readers, I’ve written a new beer blog. Go give it a read and a share, ta. pintsofcask.wordpress.com/2025/03/01/b...

Love this from @bathedailey.bsky.social and @pelliclemag.com - my favourite is def the dog one! And I prefer real rather than paintings of dogs in pubs! #pub www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/2/...

One for the Saturday morning funny papers crew. Latest @pelliclemag.com comic on great pubs: www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/2/...

New comic for Pellicle on what makes a pub great. Spent ages on this one. Lotsa drawings of pints and pubs. Give it a read if you can: www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/2/...

Babe wake up new small plates restaurant deli provisions store tinned olives just dropped

Fair fucks, Boltmakers Arms is great. Grew up drinking @timothytaylors.bsky.social in Keighley so may have been here before but who knows. Dipped into Taylor’s on the Green, The Albert, The Fleece Inn and non-TT pub Brown Cow which was choice

First trip to The Black Horse in Preston recently. Vibes pub, nice and actually dark inside. Robinsons with guest lines. Don't fancy getting in and out of this horseshoe mega booth though. Photo from online.

2014 might have been it. Pint cans of Torpedo in Tesco and hot dogs at Greggs 🥹

Thanks to everyone who came down to Bric a Brac at Reddish Ale this morning! Was super fun to hang out with @2bmcr.bsky.social , @bathedailey.bsky.social and co hehe ✨✨✨

Fun morning market at Reddish Ale this day with @sophmog.bsky.social @2bmcr.bsky.social and gang

Hawking prints at Reddish Ale tomorrow 10am-2pm alongside @2bmcr.bsky.social, @sophmog.bsky.social and peeps. Breakfast wibes too

The power of the Swan & Railway only increases with every visit. I’ve not been everywhere but this has to be one of the very best. Some might say this place is worth the admission fee to Wigan alone. True destination pub status

Beetlejuice moments at Ye Olde Man & Scythe, Bolton. If your pub doesn’t have a miniature of the pub inside the pub are you even a pub? Self-proclaimed 4th oldest pub in the UK, could probably do with a glow up. Plenty of old men, no scythes. Wtf.

Lark around Wigan and Bolton yday including a first trip to Bank Top Brewery Tap in Astley Bridge. Yabsolutely thriving with ten hand pumps getting throttled. Atmosphere was too dense to take any artful photos. Chinese chippy next door, man eating chips on the floor

Briefly into maximising Boots meal deal savings after maybe a decade of not competing (current record £4.86 saving)

For vinegar enthusiasts I’d say the current Minecraft movie endorsement vinegar flavoured Doritos are the most vinegar flavoured things sold in supermarkets asides vinegar and products held in vinegar

The future is now, the future is Bloody Mary pizza from Honest Crust at @runawaybrewery.bsky.social

@willhawkes.bsky.social I heard somebody say the thing about the squeaky wheel getting the grease the other day. Not in real life of course, it was on tv I think

Pint of Bank Top Dark Mild in the front room of Swan and Railway, Wigan, and a pint of Bass in the back room. Just to make sure.

Drew some Valentine’s postcards for Nell’s x Bundobust. *Kinda* interesting maybe not that everything I designed for this collab - including menu, posters, stickers, beer badge, online stuff - is drawn / written by hand (but yes reproduced digitally)

Congratulations it’s a vada pav pizza

Went on a tour of Manchester’s premium black lager venues 1) Manchester Union black lager at Trading Route 2) @runawaybrewery.bsky.social x @trackbrewingco.bsky.social Solar Moon Czech dark lager at Café Beermoth 3) that’s all folks

🧐

Precious bibimbap moments at god’s own Seoul Kimchi

Been working on the campaign artwork for the Nell's x Bundobust collab for the past few weeks. Specials roll out Tuesday and look highly corking, unsurprisingly.

Cask lovers, you're going to want to read this. This week, @petebrownbeer.bsky.social is on top form, telling the story of @burtonbridgebrew.bsky.social. “Tradition is the handing down of the flame and not the worshipping of ashes.” www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/1/...

Short 🧵 Another great @pelliclemag.com story by @anahlcq.bsky.social this week about real ale in France and I, of course, couldn’t help but notice the glassware depicted by @bathedailey.bsky.social. Click on the link below and see for yourself. www.pelliclemag.com/home/2024/1/...

Great now I;m thinking about thos Beans

Stockport may have achieved its final form

Meet me at the baked potato table at 9pm

Craft beer calendar comic for @pelliclemag.com www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/1/...

Are you ok babe you’ve hardly touched your Chardonnay cask finished Rothaus whisky

Top fun to illustrate @anahlcq.bsky.social's super interesting article about the rare fruit of French cask beer. Thanks to @katiematherkm.bsky.social, up now on @pelliclemag.com www.pelliclemag.com/home/2024/1/...

I've grown obsessed with Coreff Real Ale these last few months. Why does this beer even exist? How is it still here 40 years later? What about other French real ale? I've answered it all for @pelliclemag.com 💖

This is the way….

Great thread 😍

Kept this for almost twenty years
