My last beer of the evening is from @thornbridge.bsky.social : Jaipur X, the imperial rendition of (yeah, you've guessed it) Jaipur. I always enjoy this when it appears; but take a moment also to admire the artwork on that can! #BskyBeer

The last from my Kirkstall stash, and it's fairly bonkers. "Infinity Dragon" is great in its own right, but also something about the flavours feels like it would go perfectly with a tequila chaser! Alas, I have no tequila. #BskyBeer

Next from Kirkstall is their Mango IPA. It's obviously packed with mango flavour, but also has a touch of saltiness which works really well. An absolute belter. #BskyBeer

I've had quite the work week. 11k run on Mersea built into some site visits on Tuesday (beat that for multitasking); a visit to the Essex/ London border on Wednesday featuring a wander around some woods; and today, Harlow's Green Wedge where I took this.

I had mixed feelings going into this, but I'm pleasantly surprised by how well it works. A bit more gherkin than posh sarnie, and all the better for it. Kirkstall's Cucumberjack cucumber pale. #BskyBeer

Next up is "Galaxy single hop IPA" from Kirkstall. This has better carbonation than the last one, and I'm generally a fan of Galaxy hops. A good beer. #BskyBeer

Tonight's #BskyBeer is "Superdelic" New Zealand hazy IPA from Kirkstall. It's a single hop (that being Superdelic, which explains the 'tm' on the can). Pleasant enough up front, but the more interesting flavours come afterwards.

A wallop of greatness from @thornbridge.bsky.social , "Pamela" Colombian Coffee Porter. Cold coffee bitterness with a complex sweetness that mellows the coffee just enough. #BskyBeer

Quite the week: spying on chickens; data-ing stuff aw tae f; taking part in a police emergency response exercise; and planning for a terrorist attack. Good to finally switch off with Altstadt from Kirkstall. Part of their Small Batch Series, I'd describe it as "biscuits". Looks great, tastes better.

No pub today, apparently. Instead I have Nectar Honey Pale Ale from Kirkstall Brewery. Beautifully smooth- I'd be interested in an imperial version, because I think that would be legendary.
I've not had many Kirkstall beers before, but I'm really pleased with this mixed case via Brewser. #BskyBeer

Sticking with #Stouturday, "Mini Crunch" from Vault City. Captures the chocolate and honeycomb flavours as promised, making me want a Crunchie. #BskyBeer

Next #BskyBeer , "Dark Matter" by @northernmonk.bsky.social and Wiper & True. An impie, loads of coffee bitterness. Perfect #Stouturday pick me up!

Picked up some decent beers from Morrisons. Exclusive to them is Pink Grapefruit Jaipur from @thornbridge.bsky.social . The grapefruit is quite prominent, but the Jaipur flavours are retained. This is a good beer in its own right, and a must if you like Jaipur. #BskyBeer

I had one of those wonderful work wanders yesterday. Great to walk 10k in the fresh air and get paid to do it.

Home alone with some decent #BskyBeer . This is a really good lager, another of those which reminds us how poor the mainstream breweries are.

I managed to hit a different supermarket's "4 for 3", and am pleased to have got some decent brews.
From Wiper & True, "Daybreak" IPA. Stone fruit up front with a bitter finish. Decent #BskyBeer for Friday.

My second #BskyBeer is again from @thornbridge.bsky.social . "Cocoa Wonderland" Chocolate Porter. At 6.8% it wouldn't normally be a Sunday night beer; but having only had the one last night, and working from home tomorrow...
Loads of chocolate, sweetened by lactose. Good stuff.

Just found out I don't have to drive to the office at 6 a.m., so it's #BskyBeer o'clock. That's my day made, so what better beer than "Day Maker" from @thornbridge.bsky.social ? Nice and light, with bags of flavour.

Tonight's #BskyBeer is "Kill Your Darlings" Vienna lager from @thornbridge.bsky.social . A top drop, reminds me of STF brews- never a bad thing!

"Wild Raven" Black IPA from @thornbridge.bsky.social . This is superb, with the Nelson Sauvin hops adding a complexity which I bloody love! Top quality #BskyBeer for a Friday.

Tonight's #BskyBeer will be drunk with a friend. His husband and my wife will be on the wine. Beers from @thornbridge.bsky.social , a Sureshot/Vocation collab, Deya, Basqueland, Vault City, and Green Jack.

Sunday #BskyBeer courtesy of Bruha in The Alma, Harwich. This is by far my favourite from Bruha, their "Niksun Pale". Quite light up front, with a bit of citrus and apple, and a traditional bitter finish.
