Happy to see that the concerns of pubs made it onto the national news - and @theswanyork speaking for them! The government have dealt yet another blow to an industry that deeply supports our communities! Politicians need to up their game, and quickly, to avoid devastation! #pub

...or you could tell your loved ones that instead of presents and cards, you are making a donation to charity. Win-win.
It is so wasteful, isnt it! So much paper! I have plenty of paper left over from last year so I will have to use that. I like the tissue paper idea.

I can hardly believe I turned down a chocolate orange stout for this, but who can resist a ruby mild? Glad I made this choice; excellent beer. Abbeydale Ruby Mild in the Angel, Manchester.

Some great dark ales at this time of the year. Yesterday, Macclesfield's lovely Castle provided this stunner. A coffee milk stout from Black Iris brewery.

Always a warm welcome at Jack in the Box in Altrincham Market Hall. I was recommended this cask dark lager and can confirm that it was very good indeed.

Really good stout from Dunham Massey in Costello's Altrincham today. Just the beer for a cold day.

Today in @thetimes.com I break down the price of a pint and explain why it costs so much. Over half of all job losses in the last year have been in hospitality - pubs need help. www.thetimes.com/life-style/f...
How much is too much for a pint?
The £5 barrier was breached long ago and at some London bars you could pay £10. When will drinkers just stop buying beer? And what do struggling landlords want to see in the budget?

Lovely to meet up with a couple of mates in @oldecottage.bsky.social earlier - Unfortunately the Bass was on its last legs (damn, I'd been looking forward to having a pint all day). Second pint was the Wye Valley-HPA, which was lovely. Fantastic pub. 👏 @shitchester.bsky.social
