Mid morning walk on a writing day. Lovely to see all the green coming back after our dry summer.

Excellent news that our beloved @goodchembrew.bsky.social will be passed into safe hands. I love the warmth with which the incoming owners talk of the things that make it so special.

And of course, if you are in Bristol, let me know and maybe we can have a beer and chat about your work?

Great! Have you joined the @drinkingstudies.bsky.social network yet? We have 400+ members, we are free to join, and we are always looking for people working on early histories etc. You can find out more here: drinkingstudies.wordpress.com
Just let me know if you want to join or e-mail us.

There really are just a couple of tickets left for this talk on Thursday, and that's by squeezing a couple of extra spaces in!
So grab them while you can and come hear Nick and me discuss basically how beer evolved!

We are hoping it won't be as hot as yours! Same venue but different season so should be ok....

Wish I could attend this as it sounds fantastic

I'm afraid not, we don't have the facilities. It's free to attend if you are local and we have a couple of spaces left but I'm guessing from this question you might not be .....

Can anyone recommend some histories of old age and the body, specifically those that look at leakiness and focus on the eighteenth-nineteenth centuries? Aware of stuff on the menopause but want to check I'm not missing something!

Our next online seminar will take place on 6 November at 12.00 midday. Louisa Niesen, European University Institute will speak on 'Alcohol Consumption among Women Tourists, 1880-1914'. This event is online. More information and how to get the zoom link here:

Think While You Drink on Thurs features Local Archaeologist & Brewer Nick Fitzgerald and Heritage Brewer @beernouveau.co.uk. Together, they'll explore what early (pre-historic) beers might have tasted like, and what flavours are still used today.

This should be fascinating. Maybe one for @drinkingstudies.bsky.social @jameskneale.bsky.social @dorotadias.bsky.social @harbottlestores.bsky.social @jamesnicholls.bsky.social @danmalleck.bsky.social @lucycogan.bsky.social Please share.

The IHR seminar series on 'Bad Habits' look fascinating this term, particularly for @drinkingstudies members as @jameskneale.bsky.social and David Beckingham are both giving talks on their temperance research. More information and sign up here:

Would Cumbrian West Coast folk please repost this: I need homebrewers for a homebrew club In the Cockermouth - Workington area. Bottle swaps, meet ups to wang on about beer & maybe even in the summer drinks in the garden.
Even if you don't currently homebrew & want to see if it's the hobby for you.

GOOD MORNING! Pubs are struggling. The 2026 Good Beer Guide is "a triumph". Craft beer is still growing in India. Gen Z really isn't drinking. BrewDog beers have lost their edge. Nobody really knows which is the oldest pub in London. New Boddies is "drinkable". 🍺🍻
