Would there have been any point in introducing the Euro if we'd had what we have now – instant contactless payments at the interbank rate without fees?

I found a historic analysis of Bamberg beers from January 1843 (very early to find data about alcohol content and residual extract), and used it to reconstruct the original gravities of historic Bamberg Schenkbiere. The results were very surprising!

With 19/30 of the #Spoonsfest beers now ticked, Moorhouses Quintessent is one of my stand out beers. Ovaltiney malt and the wonderful fruity, woodland flavours of the new wave English hop Harlequin.

There are British citizens being held in a torture centre by Israel right now for breaking absolutely no laws and they have faced no judge or jury. Keir Starmer has said this is "a matter for Israel" - Keir Starmer puts Israel before the British people and should be hounded out of office for it.

There is no such offence as love in the third degree, and I am rather surprised the CPS let it get this far. Case dismissed.

With all the stories about how hospitality is suffering, it's good to hear that the Loch Lomond Arms in Luss is doing so well that it can casually turn away 30 customers who just want a pint of beer.

Last week a paper came out, showing that chimpanzees daily consume significant amounts of alcohol. A thread where I walk through why the paper matters, then the paper itself.

Some interesting chat that some fresh hop cask beers might make it to Glasgow this season. Very intrigued. Would enough people be interested?
