Dog friend, very amateur guitarist, egg maestro, left of centre-left, occasional beer imbiber.
It's been a pretty emotionally exhausting week, for various family related reasons.
But it's nice just to sit in the corner of the pub on your own, have a couple of pints, watch the buzz of people coming & going, & observe the social side of drinking while feeling resolutely antisocial.

I always think Kernel are rightly lauded for their pale hoppy beers, but they are genuinely exceptional at malt forward beer styles.
And these are just superb.

Lovely evening @b33r-at-33.bsky.social last night. Stein of Octoberfest Paulaner and pizza from Bove's out the back (Stan had a bit of crust).
Very lucky to have this place as our local 😀

Inspired by a recent @tigger2017.bsky.social tweet decided to order some Buxton beers.
Remember being blown away by Wyoming, King Slayer etc. in the olden days of craft beer so looking forward to these 😃 (and the BA saisons and triple..)
And £60 for the lot with free delivery 🥳

Years ago I used to be a bit sniffy about Bank Top beers.
Maybe I'd heard a bit of talk about them being very trad & bland.
But this dark mild is very good. And so are a fair few of their pale beers.
And in a world of inflation, pints at £3.40 doesn't hurt 😅

It's just about acceptable when it's free at a wedding.

Nice stop off at Newbarns brewery tap in Leith yesterday. Could've easily stayed for more than one but had places to be/things to do/other bars to visit etc.

Lovely long day on the Scottish coast along the Firth of Clyde.
So a very nice amber lager from local @stfermentations.bsky.social & my hometown brewery Rivington seems appropriate 😋
