A cold day so stopped by Spoons for a pint of Theakston's Old Peculier. Paul Weller fan club had beaten me to it @johnferrett.bsky.social

Perhaps not something I've done for 30 years but stopped by local Wetherspoons for Sri Lankan prawn & fish curry & a pint of Theakston's Old Peculier. £11.31. Decent curry & beer but not the kind of fusion Farage is about

Night cap. Always good to see a bottle conditioned beer. As for the first use of Nelson Sauvin no doubt others will have views

A day for porter drinking. Hook Norton Twelve Days (cask) is a decent start. I checked when it was first brewed...

Unsurprisingly a difficult week but this makes a decent nightcap. Even so having watched episode 2 of @davidolusoga.bsky.social Empire I do think 'imperial' doesn't convey the best message in 2025

New from @thornbridge.bsky.social Colombian coffee porter. It works well & certainly not outwith the traditions of C18/19th London Porters or indeed Henry Hunt in Bristol

Winter Warmer beers are a genuine tradition,often strong. This one from Hall & Woodhouse is a comparatively modest (for the style) 5%. Better in my view than bland Christmas named beers which appear also at this time of year

Family gathering to raise a glass to Megan Davies at her favourite Cardiff Indy Bar. Glass of @fyneales.bsky.social Dubh Siris mixed ferm blended porter & Danish Stevns cherry juice. Probably not one for Megan but beard friendly
