I’ve written for @pelliclemag.com about the Dog and Bell, a unique pub whose evolution over the past 40 years nevertheless illustrates the story of modern London pubs. It’s here: www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/9/...

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out — The Dog and Bell in Deptford, London — Pellicle

On a Friday night in early December, Deptford’s Dog and Bell is Christmas as imagined by a Haribo-addled toddler.  A huge resin Santa, grinning merrily in his sleigh, squats in Prince Street out...

Nice change of pace to see an Alesmith beer on cask in spoons for £2.15 vs. THIS LONDON PUB IS SELLING A £50 PINT and it's Alesmith Speedway Stout

Toby Wood @tobywoody.bsky.social · 5d

A very fine west coast IPA indeed. Grab some while you can ….

We’re chuffed to be shortlisted for Branding of the Year at the Brewers Choice Awards, and we’re in brilliant company to boot! 🙌

All our branding is done in-house, and this year we’ve taken things up a notch with the Assassin rebrand, brought to life with the help of @bathedailey.bsky.social 🍻

Two frame comic excerpt. Top frame shows a man in a pink polo (macro mick) asking for a “pint of San Miguelo, please” while a smaller man in a cap (craft beer Gary) enters stage writing exclaiming “alright, mick! Get us a hazy IPA”.

Second frame shows gary jumping in front of a pint of Madri adjacent macro lager as if he’s catching a bullet and shouting “mick, no! It’s not from Madrid” to which mick responds, I’m not mithered.

I enjoy that the two most official Oktoberfest channeling boozers in Manchester city centre are Albert Schloss and the bar in the Arndale. Polar opposites of the pint spectrum.

David Bailey @bathedailey.bsky.social · 14d

Always forget about the pub in the Arndale but that line-up goes hard as hell. Presume it must have the weirdest regulars in the world (11.30am-6pm opening hours, plonked in a shopping centre food court) but where else can you wrestle a Panchos burrito with a pint of cask or a seasonal German.

Micro Bar, Manchester 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 1st visit. Arndale Centre. If you don't start at the right entrance it can be awkward to find. Oktoberfest keg takeover, 3 x cask including the Boddingtons revival. Excellent fridge selection. Pinball & Jukebox. Unavoidable market trade atmosphere sadly. 🍻👍

Fantastic article from @rachelhendry.bsky.social as per on the social perception of cask beer for CAMRA. Chuffed to provide illustrations for it. It's cask ale week somewhere: learn.camra.org.uk/courses/cask...

On the common ground between cask beer and sparkling wine by the boss @rachelhendry.bsky.social for @camraofficial.bsky.social. Bunch of illustrations on a super interesting comparison: learn.camra.org.uk/courses/comm...

square illustration of two boats passing each other in the night. Pint of cask in the foreground in a humble wooden boat waves at a flute of sparkling wine in a more expensive liner.

Willing to eat my hat but don’t see it reaching that level. Find it muddied with the shite version still pretty regularly available on keg in MCR and the cans in supers - most won’t know it went away. Interested to see if Lees dig into the Guinness rivalling old cream ads and put big £££ behind it

Apropos of my previous post, here’s @pelliclemag.com’s latest comic drawn by real life human David Bailey. I know he exists because I’ve had a pint with him and everything.
