Beautiful melancholy and wonderful memories in today's @pelliclemag.com piece. I never visited CBC, but I feel like I did after reading this. www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/2/...

I'm not sure if another publication hadn't closed down that this would have made its way to my inbox, but regardless, I'm glad it did. Beautiful, poignant storytelling. Part eulogy, part an important document of this breweries lasting significance.

We have now sold over 200 of @katiematherkm.bsky.social's little zine, and the site has had a record Feb, on the back of a record Jan, with us 23% up on last years traffic, which was itself very good. Feeling proud of our little mag today (and every day.)

My monthly @camraofficial.bsky.social What's Brewing column snuck out over the weekend. It's about how we cling to nostalgia and refute change, but also about how @abbeydalebeers.bsky.social's transition to 100% employee ownership is a positive signifier. wb.camra.org.uk/2025/02/13/a...

No fan of The Times but I am pleased to see a national media outlet cover the most-consumed (and most talked about) alcoholic beverage in the UK have actual, regular coverage from someone that knows what they're talking about. Progress.
