Brewery and twitter account. Leith, laugh, love. It’s probably just a joke.

Not being funny like but if you haven't been to Vessel yet what are you doing with your life?
Just ban us all from social media so we can draw a line under it and move on with our lives.

For some reason an estate agent was put in charge of selling the kit and at the start of the negotiation he went "I don't know anything about this sort of thing lads, what do you think it's worth?" and that is the one and only time in the history of Pilot that we won at business.
Here’s something interesting that isn’t even about Twitter for once. We bagged our brewkit from Fountainbridge nearly 15 years ago, and now we’ve brewed a Scotch Export using a historic yeast strain from, wink wink nudge nudge, another Fountainbridge brewery.

Oh we’re awful in person. Ask anyone.

Look at us posting about a beer we’ve made rather than yet another thinly veiled subtweet. Feels like we’re really maturing as people.

Expect all the caramel and toffee flavours you can handle. Also rather than stick an AI slop highland coo driving a train across the Forth Bridge on the can we got local artist Steven Cox to do something a wee bit more interesting…

No of course the brewery isn’t Brewdog, that’s an outrageous thing to say.

To explain this with a brewing analogy, it’s like if Tim Davie was in a brewery and the brewery was full of nothing but nazis and sex offenders and yet he decided to stay in the brewery to try to get the nazis and sex offenders to watch Countryfile for some reason.

Muggins here once tried to say either 'ta" or "thanks" to the local shopkeeper and said "tars" instead and could never return to the shop.

On the plus side the other day someone in our office was talking about buying something and instead of "pull the trigger on it" he said "pull the triggle on it" and we've said very little else but that for 36 hours so maybe the world's not all bad.
Just seen Ricky Gervais posting one of his extremely funny vodka adverts along with a crying laughing emoji. 7 days into a new year and we've had world war 3 starting and now this new low. Really starting to feel like there's no way back for humanity.
What's led to this outburst, you may ask. Well, we did our semi-regular log in to LinkedIn and saw someone leaving crying laughing emojis under one of James Watt's posts. Sickening stuff. We're meant ot be out for a meal tonight but currently feel to ill to eat.

A non-zero chance we're the only intelligence in the universe and this is how it's gone Horrifying.

In better news though, 2026 really feels like the year craft beer is going to break through to the mainstream!

Good news everyone, the fascist sociopath has added a sexual assault generator to his website! At this point it’s fair to assume that any brewery / football team / MP / rando still using it actively supports these things.
Quoting ourselves here, but it’s absolutely insane to us that anyone still uses Twitter. You don't have to. You can just stop. It was a *massive* part of our growth but you can just let it go. However important your business is to you, it's less important than this:
Elon Musk, "These lovely small towns in England, Scotland and Ireland, they've been living their lives quietly. They're like hobbits"

"And so one day, 1,000 people show up in your village of 500 and start raping the kids"

"This has now happened, God knows how many times in Britain"
