Improbably, perhaps, Bass has done a collaboration with trendy kitchen wear brand Service Works, launched last night at the Macbeth in Hoxton Street. It’s the latest step in AB InBev’s new promotional campaign for this legendary brand

The food served at the event. The Venison Samosa was superb

I’ve written for @pelliclemag.com about the Dog and Bell, a unique pub whose evolution over the past 40 years nevertheless illustrates the story of modern London pubs. It’s here: www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/9/...

Nice change of pace to see an Alesmith beer on cask in spoons for £2.15 vs. THIS LONDON PUB IS SELLING A £50 PINT and it's Alesmith Speedway Stout

Toby Wood @tobywoody.bsky.social · 11d

A very fine west coast IPA indeed. Grab some while you can ….

Two frame comic excerpt. Top frame shows a man in a pink polo (macro mick) asking for a “pint of San Miguelo, please” while a smaller man in a cap (craft beer Gary) enters stage writing exclaiming “alright, mick! Get us a hazy IPA”.

Second frame shows gary jumping in front of a pint of Madri adjacent macro lager as if he’s catching a bullet and shouting “mick, no! It’s not from Madrid” to which mick responds, I’m not mithered.

I enjoy that the two most official Oktoberfest channeling boozers in Manchester city centre are Albert Schloss and the bar in the Arndale. Polar opposites of the pint spectrum.

David Bailey @bathedailey.bsky.social · 21d

Always forget about the pub in the Arndale but that line-up goes hard as hell. Presume it must have the weirdest regulars in the world (11.30am-6pm opening hours, plonked in a shopping centre food court) but where else can you wrestle a Panchos burrito with a pint of cask or a seasonal German.

Micro Bar, Manchester 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 1st visit. Arndale Centre. If you don't start at the right entrance it can be awkward to find. Oktoberfest keg takeover, 3 x cask including the Boddingtons revival. Excellent fridge selection. Pinball & Jukebox. Unavoidable market trade atmosphere sadly. 🍻👍

Fantastic article from @rachelhendry.bsky.social as per on the social perception of cask beer for CAMRA. Chuffed to provide illustrations for it. It's cask ale week somewhere: learn.camra.org.uk/courses/cask...
