Beer. I like good beer. And food. Good food. Wine is pretty good as well. Red wine rather than white. At a push though I'd have white.
A couple of very interesting ones from Twice Brewed. Couldn’t pass up the Dandelion & Burdock sour and the Grape & Cherry is subtle and very dry.

A visit to Housesteads at Hadrians Wall yesterday. Stunning weather.
Stopped in to Twice Brewed which I have to admit I wasn’t aware of.
Really lovely pint of a Luminosa IPA, a great chat and an offer of a few very good tasters made sure I left with a few cans.

Grill’s on.
Pulled pork low and slow.
Love cooking on the Kamado. With just a couple of vents you can dial in a temperature and it’ll sit steady at it all day long. This’ll probably be a 6-10 hour cook.

Oven’s on.
Newbarns is currently my favourite brewery. Every thing they brew is 👌🏻. Well worth searching out if you haven’t already.
Also I’d mark the untimely passing of my favourite glass which earlier in the week came off worse vs a granite worktop.
Got on honeymoon in Prague. 🫡 #bskybeer

It’s honestly a coincidence that I happen to be waring this T shirt.
This beer is a completely different version from the era the shirt is from. Don’t get me wrong, this Longer is lovely, but the OG version is still one of my favourite beers ever. Was around 12% if I remember rightly #bskybeer

Been ages since I’d played Corrosion.
Needed a serious rules refresh but what a fun game.
The build an engine only to break it cause you have to mechanic is great. Solo is really easy to run as well.

My apprentice got me these as a thank you. He’s from Oban and went out of his way to find some local brews, which was really good of him as he’s strictly a big red T man. Didn’t know Wildbarns had set up again in Oban after leaving Fort William.
Very Belgiany, as expected and a nice can. #bskybeer

Nice surprise this (Spokes) turning up before Christmas and is exact what I hoped it would be. Rules light and doesn’t outstay it’s welcome. Perfect for my family who really enjoy a games night but nothing heavy. Hoping Aspens will do the same.

Finishing as I began.
More Goatfire and some Totem of Skulls from Holy Goat. 👌🏻
Incredibly indulgent festival tradition of a few beers alone with a book ticked off.
