Boddingtons Cream of Manchester “By’eck, it’s gorgeous”!!!

Cracking brew day. Thought I’d have a go at one of my favourite styles, the Irish extra stout. Should have something around 6.5% in a few weeks time. Thanks to @Geterbrewed’s super speedy malt delivery and Malt Miller’s brilliant brew kettle. Super easy brew day.

@BigChiefSpyBoy Vault City do some nice tasting beers, but makes me laugh they class themselves as a ‘sour’ brewery. Most their beers are super sweet!

Perfect, niche reference

That is the best individual performance in a single session of snooker I have ever seen. Magical.

After nearly three years out of action, I finally got round to brewing again! I should have a 6% Harlequin English IPA ready in the next few weeks. The new 12L Malt Miller kettle was excellent too. 100% recommend if you’re new/returning to brewing.

A little late to posting, but @thefirkinbar now have a nitro tap. Repeat. A nitro tap. In Newton-le-Willows. Stuff dreams are made of.

@BeerChannel @MENnewsdesk @LiverpoolCAMRA @LiverpoolCAMRA @CAMRA_Official @pelliclemag @brewserbeer @LivEchoLFC Please could you share across your platforms, if possible?

PLEASE SHARE Newton-le-Willows Beer Festival has been subject to terrible vandalism, with all 60 beers poured away. It’s a fantastic event that raises substantial funds for the Rotary Club, who do incredible work in the local community. Please DM @thefirkinbar if you can help.

@bindelj Kala is excellent, and it’s surrounded by brilliant places to drink too. Cafe Beermoth, North Westward Ho and Blinker are personal favourites.

UP THE POPPIES

Maximo Park on top form once again last night in Manchester. I’ve lost count on how many times I’ve seen them live, but still as incredible as ever. @maximopark @paulsmithmusic

Fantastic trip back home to @threehillsbrew in Thrapston. Hard to believe that I used to work here 15 years ago in a DVD rental shop - now it’s a thriving high street with an incredible brewery on its doorstep.

@thefirkinbar 14 Budvar and a Timmy Taylors and that’s my final offer.

@BrownsBeerBlog Not against it

What we doing for our 10th Birthday? A big fat juicy party thats what. We will divulge a little more nearer the time but please get the date in your diary and come celebrate with us. Gunna be big its gunna be hoppy. 🍺 🎂

@ThingsByNik @BristolStMotors That’s absolutely appalling. Even Colin McRae brought back his cars in better condition (most of the time…)

Had a brand new car delivered today from @BristolStMotors and this is the condition it was delivered in. Scratches all over, a damaged alloy wheel, car was filthy. Shocking standards. I’ve spent all afternoon cleaning it to make it look better.

This properly made me jump this morning! 😂 Thankfully, it was the @SkyUK engineer (not @BillBailey peering through the curtains…)

Quality bottle share with @ThingsByNik and @feebrob this afternoon. Very difficult to pick a highlight! Top tier beers from @wanderbeyond_, @Tartarusbeers, @PomonaIsland, @Williamsbrewery, Broaden & Build and @thornbridge.

@ThingsByNik @feebrob ⬆️ All the above

Heading to a bottle share with @feebrob and @BrownsBeerBlog tomorrow, so need to raid my stash! 🍺

Another fantastic @manchestercbf: ✅ Great beer ✅ Great company ✅ No ill effects this morning @NorthBrewCo’s Shadow Boxer and @SirenCraftBrew’s Death by CCC two of many highlights.
