@elusivebrewing.com @tabamatu.bsky.social loving this Tasman Westie! Can tell it’s a two flints collab straight away. Fantastic brewing sometimes with a collab you think yeah they just got together for a few beers but this one has got shared DNA!

My nice evening drinking and grilling in the garden has been ruined by my neighbours playing Bebe Rexha and Faithless. WTF!!! You don’t do that to Insomnia. Absolute travesty!!!! Tempted to put on some very loud industrial metal to drown out the unrelenting shit being pumped over the fence!

After several SMOD beers where do you go? You go to Brids Cross, a criminally below the radar brewery putting out stunning beer after stunning beer #bskybeer

@azvexbrewing.bsky.social the most challenging beer I’ve ever had to squeeze out of a can… had to decant and whip up 😂 tastes great though

@wearejames.bsky.social were incredible in Newcastle last night. Consistently superb for decades. How Tim does it I just don’t know, he’s aging better than a lot of us in the crowd 😂

The Tyneside Lambic trail is always such a great reminder of why beer and pubs matter.

A huge thank you to Mick at @thefreetradeinn.bsky.social for putting the whole thing together, to the venues, and to everyone who joined the @craftbeerncl.bsky.social social yesterday ❤️

Get yourselves along to this, some brilliant venues and some wonderful people.

As parents, we're supposed to remember the first time we did stuff with our kids, but the last time is equally as significant, if not more.

This poem is from Whatever You Do, Just Don't (HappenStance Press, 2023), my second full collection...
