I claim to be from a council house on the mean streets of Wolverhampton, but here I am eating goose pizza.

IN THE event of a
catastrophic oil-spill at sea,
haven't the likes of Shell and BP
considered throwing a load of
sliced mushrooms on the slick?
Them bastards hoover up all the
oil in the pan when I'm trying to
do a fry-up. Plus, a bedraggled
cormorant might appreciate a
snack whilst waiting to be rescued.

I figure sober me knew better back at about 16:00 & I'm gonna trust his judgement on this.

Don't you worry about me. I can handle it.

I thought it was a universal thing: odd sock.

No. I was at work today, but it's party night tonight.

Should have put more beer in the fridge.

I didn't intend to suggest it was.

Always remember that you'll end up with umpteen litres of the finished beer at the end, so I find erring on the side of caution best.

My Brett beers so far have involved making a regular beer - then instead of bottling it, transferring it to a 2nd fermenter with the dregs of my last Brett beer in. Leave for another week & bottle.

After 6 weeks it's lovely. After 12 weeks, it's still nice but the Brett dominates everything.

Pics or it didn't happen...

Tonight's beer is the bastard child of 1 litre of NZ brut Jasmine IPA mixed with 1/2 litre of honey, jasmine & Brettanomyces beer.

Boy does a little Brett go a long way.

It sounds like it's up there with mature cheddar & lime pickle sandwiches 😋

Up here the sun dips below the horizon in a couple of weeks for the last time until early March when it breaks over the horizon again.

When I say off piste, I mean "not a run of the mill beer made with the usual ingredients, in the usual way".

Dave Morton @dmonbeer.bsky.social · 1d

This was rather off piste when I visited Glasgow last year & met @robsterowski.bsky.social who gifted me a bottle.

Fyne Ales seem to be the front runners in making wild ales in Britain with an amazing variety of fruit, herbs & microorganisms going into some of their amazing beer.

I can confirm that Jennings new Helles lager is a perfectly fine beer.

Been for a walk downtown to a local landmark this evening.

A path through a churchyard & an avenue of trees - lit higher up by the low evening sun. The path runs downhill to a town in the distance.

I would hide my face too if I had a Make Britain Great baseball cap.

That's like a balloon animal gone wrong. I suppose it is in a way.
