The Guide is saddened to hear of the passing of beer writer Des de Moor.
He was generous in sharing his extensive knowledge of the London beer scene and it was always a pleasure to cross paths and compare notes.
RIP Des, the next beer is for you 🍻

You might find minced peas here, but never minced words.
I could be planting peas outside in a month but for now, the time of bad winter is here. The former fluffy stuff now frozen into ball joint snapping block, sidewalks glazed into ankle crackers. Have a great day! Here’s the news.
