Wonderful stuff from @petebrownbeer.bsky.social in @pelliclemag.com The flame of brewing still burning in Burton thanks to @burtonbridgebrew.bsky.social! www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/1/...

Busy day today. First up, breaking news: Lake District brewer Jennings saved from corporate destruction: www.petebrown.net/2025/02/05/j...

Kind of linked ton the Jennings announcement, more green shoots in the post-corporate cask ale landscape. Lovely things are finally happening in Burton on Trent again! @pelliclemag.com sent me to @burtonbridgebrew.bsky.social to take a look and report back the good news.

Carnivale Brettanomyces 2025 has a date! 19 to 22 June in Utrecht, the Netherlands. It's my favourite festival of the year. In their own words: "Carnivale Brettanomyces is a yearly wild beer festival dedicated to deviant fermentation of all kind." wildegist.nl See some of you there?

French cask beer. Have you seen it? Travel with @anahlcq.bsky.social to Brittany, where Coreff amber ale is the drink of choice, thanks to some VIP brewers from back in the day. Beer lovers, drinkers, and historians, you're gonna love this one. www.pelliclemag.com/home/2024/1/...

FICTION: ‘The Short Stay’ – a weird story for Christmas. precastreinforced.co.uk/2024/12/18/f...

www.theguardian.com/news/2024/de... It shows the impact that @raynewman.bsky.social writing on me that the start of this article about the fascinating yet unsettling Humphrey driving down to meet prospective new tenants instantly had me thinking that it would be a great basis for one of his stories.

That peculiar whirring noise beer lovers might be hearing is the sound of Carlsberg founder J.C. Jacobsen spinning in his grave in horror at the acts of cultural vandalism the philistines at Carlsberg Marston's are perpetrating in his name.

Here in England it's "stir-up Sunday", the day when Christmas puddings are made so they can be matured in time for the big day. What better way to ~celebrate~ than revisiting this festive piece on Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale by @davidnilsenbeer.bsky.social? 🎄🎀 www.pelliclemag.com/home/2021/11...

A cool feature on the desi pub on BBC The Kitchen Cabinet about the film 'Desi: A Pub Story'. Briefly bemoaning how Glassy Junction is now a vegetarian restaurant @jameskneale.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

In this week's substack: We look at my 18th c. beer recreation, a collab w/ Torrside & Hop Hideout, & investigate how eggs helped fermentation in 1700s; learn about historical egg & beer cocktails; & investigate how to brew w/ eggshells to repel fairies in Irish folklore.

ISBF it's about people. People coming to meet up each year. The ISBF Family that comes together each year. The Brewers that comes to talk. And - ultimately - helping people is why we do this. Here's how you did good. www.salfordbeerfest.com/news/thank-y...

Nice trip to the Beacon Hotel in Sedgley yesterday. Everything on top form, the Ruby is such a special beer.

“Yet the Rodenbach Brewery was, despite the name, a Regina Wauters joint. Her husband was more interested in fighting wars than brewing beer, so it was Wauters who built out Rodenbach after she and Pedro took full control of it in 1835.”

I wonder what we will be doing 🤔😉

Anyone who watched longlegs find that it was quite interesting until Nic Cage started to feature more prominently? The ad campaign before release was so much more weird and thrilling then the movie itself

TL/DR: Everything you read about the Hymn to Ninkasi is completely wrong zythophile.co.uk/2024/09/27/n...

Cider rethought: a tribute to Susanna Forbes.

I finally managed to finish up the follow-up article to this, the same analysis, just for the provinces of Prussia in 1889/1890: dafteejit.com/2024/09/top-... #beerhistory

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,796,875!

The apple wine scene in Frankfurt was a real unexpected thrill, Possmann cider is delicious and their calvados with the medlar fruit is extraordinary

Now my kind friends any recs for Frankfurt?

Just about to arrive in Bamburg any beer recommendations? I am having a tour of Schlenkerla at 11...

Is anyone watching and enjoying the new Frasier series? I have to pin my flag to the mast and say that I am!
