Sheffield stop number 5 is a @thornbridge.bsky.social pub - The Greystones - and the beers were the ever amazing Jaipur and a black IPA (Wild Raven).

Sheffield stop number 4 is The Wonky Labrador where we’ve had a beer from Talking Tides and another from @idealdaybrewery.bsky.social. Lots of lovely friendly dogs there too!

Great visit to St Mars of the Desert to record the next episode of the podcast with Dann. Three lovely beers while I was there - Jack D’Or, Urchin, and Fieldmouse.

Did a little home tasting of these beers tonight, with my son and my wife. Have to say that Number 3 stood out more for me this time around. Used a lot of my various glassware too 😂
Wife went for no 4, son went for no 3.

A couple of brown ales - one from @werewolfbeer.bsky.social and another brought back from Nice from Brasserie Bleue - plus another Brasserie Bleue beer that I enjoyed so much at the taproom. Three really lovely beers from both sides of the Channel but all three brewed by Americans.

Today’s trip was to Monaco, and after a 2 hour tour I’ve stopped at Brasserie de Monaco for lunch and a couple of beers - a seasonal IPA and their wheat beer.

Today I am in Cannes. I have located a little Biererie and settled in for a Bellerose Ambree.

Next stop is Allez Hops - a bottle shop & taproom for Brasserie Bleue. I had two excellent beers - especially their IPA, which the brewer told me he considers to be more a Mid-West IPA. To me it had a lot of what I enjoy in a West Coast IPA. Lots of malt character and very bitter!

I’m in Nice, France, for work. Free evening today, so I’m exploring. In Vieux Nice, I’ve stumbled upon Beer Company. They brew their own beers and I’ve had two of them - Chantal IPA and Josette Amber - that are pretty decent.

After Schottenhammel, we headed over to Pschorr Braurosl for some Hacker-Pschorr beers.
That was our lot. 6 litres to add to shots and spirits throughout the day!

Then on Monday, we hit the Wiesn!
First was the Schottenhammel Festhalle for a few hours, and several litres of Spaten.

I’m back from a trip to Munich for Oktoberfest, where I was with a group of 20 people (including me). First was a little bit of sightseeing, then a dinner at Augustiner Keller.

Oktoberfest, baby!

Paul Newton - Beer Prime @beerprimeuk.bsky.social · 13d

A beer with dinner, and it’s one that I took away from the @redwillowbrewery.bsky.social taproom the other day. It was one of the beers I had on tap on my visit, as I was so enamoured with it, and it’s just as good from the can. And I’m not ashamed to say it 😁

Saw Rich there too. Nice to see him in the flesh as the podcast was done over Zoom. He’s built a really cool place, and it’s well worth a visit. @werewolfbeer.bsky.social

I’ve finally (4 years after having Rich on the podcast!) got down to @werewolfbeer.bsky.social in Camden. It’s a great taproom. Lots of horror/fairground paraphernalia and heavy metal music playing. The beers are awesome too, which of course helps!!

I’m running a big golf day tomorrow (120 players!) at Shrigley Hall, so I’ve popped in to Macclesfield to visit @redwillowbrewery.bsky.social for a few. Very much enjoyed all the beers, and their town centre bar is great.

Paul Newton - Beer Prime @beerprimeuk.bsky.social · 19d

Two other beers today - one at Two Tails Taproom (Only With Love’s Yacht Rock); and another at home - @verdantbrew.bsky.social x The Lemonheads Marauders of the Sea).
