Just had a lovely time at Haus on the Hill for the launch of Beer Breaks in Britain by Phil Mellows & Kate Simon. Lots of interesting questions & fascinating tales. Buy the book. Plan a holiday. Go to the pub. @philmellows.bsky.social @beerbreaks.bsky.social

Sampling both ends of the @unbarredbrewery.bsky.social beery spectrum today. First up, Coastin’, a 0.5% West Coast & a wonderful addition to the low/no space. Then, Dank Juice, a 7% velveteen giant of a beer with stone fruit, pine & big dank energy! [Thanks 🙏 to the brewery for sending these over]

Competing against things like bags and suntan lotion for this slot in the Daily Mirror. Beer guides are obviously much more useful 😊

So pleased to get my hands on this beautifully produced new book & I’m already planning various trips based on its recommendations! I’ll be interviewing @philmellows.bsky.social at the book launch on Monday 10 March 7pm at Brighton’s Haus on the Hill if you want to find out more.

Great round up from B & B as usual. And, presumably in recognition of the date, it’s really good to see an all-woman line-up of fantastic beer writing.

#31beerherstories and we are honouring Nell McCafferty, legendary activist, writer, and campaigner for a woman's right to drink pints, just like their male counterparts. In the late 1970s, McCafferty and thirty comrades entered the premises of Neary’s and each ordered a brandy... 🧵 #skystorians

They’re really difficult to photograph but these double-walled coffee cups from Aldi are so ruddy cute.

30 years ago I bought a Roy Ayers CD from the old HMV on Western Rd in Brighton purely because I saw a really beautiful woman dancing as it played in the store. Sometimes music brings you love; sometimes it sends you scuttling shyly out of a shop with £10 less in your wallet youtu.be/FNPR4ty51V8?...

I spent a few hours yesterday afternoon tucked away in this cosy corner drinking perfectly-kept cask ale. I love The Basketmakers.

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there. The show must go on.

I'm still new to Bluesky, so here's a bit of info for those who don't know me. I'm a beer writer & audio maker & have my fingers in a number of pies (which, as everyone knows, go perfectly with beer). I post mainly about beer, pubs, books, mental health & equality. More at fermentationonline.com

Well that was the most exciting Lionesses game since the World Cup! England beat the world champions with a real team performance. Plus the added excitement of a power cut leading to a blackout at Wembley! #Lionesses #ENGESP www.forbes.com/sites/asifbu...

Similarly - if you want to be a great beer writer, read travel, history, other food and drink writing, fiction etc more than you read other beer writers.
