In a pub in outer Sheffield where people are singing carols – familiar words to local tunes, everyone joining in, utterly lovely.

A fun time at the National Video Game Museum in Sheffield. I'm bad at games but got stuck into a text adventure for about 20 minutes, and reacquainted myself with the clicky clacky tactility of the BBC Micro.

I've written for The Observer about how as teenagers many of us were obsessed with Hitler, just like Nigel Farage – but there's a difference (features Nazi death cry "AIEEEEE!", the song Hitler Has Only Got One Ball, and bisexual commando Micky Burn)

One of my more unusual homebrew projects I've tried so far is home-malting. Not just any malt, but air-dried wheat malt to approximate a historic malt for Bavarian wheat beer. First, I steeped the grains in water for about 36 hours during which it gained about 50% in weight. Then came the sprouting.

Re-up for the nighttime gang
We risk losing cask ale — not because young drinkers are wrong to ignore it, but because we've failed to make the case for it.

Who could blame them?
The problem with cask ale isn't that young people don't drink it. It's that we haven't given them a reason to.
