I'm back to work tomorrow (for one day only), so to ease the blow I'm tucking into "Old Colony" American East Coast pale from @8sailbrewery.bsky.social . I've had this before and am pleased to report it's still fantastic, with the cascade hops doing their thing.

Last one this week from me.

On a windy weekend, the beer chooses itself! The excellent Millstone from www.8sailbrewery.com in Heckington, home of the famous 8 sailed mill.

🍺 8 Sail Brewery Bar, Heckington, Lincs: snug, wood-panelled taproom in the shadow of the (unusual) eight-sailed windmill. Their refreshing 4.2% Froglet has a gentle bitterness. One of the guys who works here is a Boston Utd fan and will be at tomorrow's match. ⚽️

Heckington Windmill, Lincs. The only surviving eight-sailed windmill in the UK. There’s an excellent little microbrewery (8 Sail Brewery 🍻) on site too. #WindmillWednesday #Windmill #Heckington #Lincolnshire #LincolnshireLife

Excellent 8/10

Stopped off at the famous Heckington 8 sail windmill on the way back from #FolkEast. Last visited it in 2013 and the 8 Sail Brewery wasn’t open then. Brown Ale in the glass and Damson Stout and Imperial Porter (10%) in the bottles.

This is an absolute delight! #8SailBrewery Imperial Stout. 10% alcohol mixed with roasted malt, chocolate and liquorice!
