This one hurts! Sour Grapes was an incredible beer as was the IPA, both at a time before many were ready for it. All the best to Jeff @Lovibonds A true beer visionary!

@Cathaclysmal Check out Carew area. Beautiful little villages ( bias of course) Cresselly Arms awesome pub by the river too

@wiganwrestler Sure is bud, friends had it at a wedding recently, real nice. You well?

@Angharad_78 The living legend!

@wiganwrestler Great track!

@SirQuinno @Sir_Doris @The_big__D Proper quarry of a place that one. Many a fun night had!

The Claude, Roath @Sir_Doris and @The_big__D will know why I've trekked here. But I'd advise the rest of you not to bother. It's awful.

Staff Travel Sunday, a slingshot out to the 'burbs of Cardiff to begin. The Anuerin Bevan is the quietest Spoons I've ever been in! Fortunately the cask is good...

@StoneBrewing This is an outstanding beer! One of the best I tried on a recent trip across the pond

An obsidian celebration of hops. An acknowledgement of all the righteousness still in the world. Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Black IPA is available in 12oz six-pack cans and on draft for a limited time nationwide. Visit brnw.ch/21wIO47 to find it near you.

@thewordealer Not a chance!

Home from a date, I've just spent at least an hour of it listening to a man passionate about fishing... I have come home and poured a large glass of recovery wine 😳 I'm going to always be single aren't I?

@bftwni @WalesOnline @brainsbrewery An absolute gent he was too!

@WalesOnline #BFTWNI @brainsbrewery Christopher Michael Brain chaired the business from 1998 to 2009, during which time it sponsored Welsh rugby and football teams, became a household name across Wales and moved from the traditional site off St Mary Street to the southern side of Cardiff Central railway station. tinyurl.com/endkrmyk

@StoneBrewing San Diego. Banging beers, Rob superb, US hospitality never fails to disappoint!

@tabamatu @NagsHeadReading That is how it's done!

For anyone who's never been in the cellar at @NagsHeadReading, this is from their IG. The rows on the right each line up with one of their 12 hand pulls. You can see the cask widge rods in them, each vented in order. The kegs lines are down the end. Fully sealed floor. Class! 😍

@hopforwardbeers Preach! Basic life skills missing. We get the odd brewery sales person like this over the phone, wonder why we never buy their products!

Here's a tip for breweries (or anyone in business): how you do anything is how you do *everything*. If you speak to your suppliers and clients in a shitty, abrupt manner, what does that say about your business behind closed doors? 🧵

@ThePigGuide Great news for the area, so much local local love for this pub!

THIS is very exciting news! Good work, Charlie and Amanda Digney... and if you think you don't know who *they* are, you really, really do!

@pintof45 Blast from the past!

Decent pint in the Andrew Buchan on Albany Road last night. Bar has had an upgrade as well (PJ)

@thatcymraes Legendary!

@TheBathLandlady @NewBristol Please keep me one...

@JLewisland @AskDawnGribble Absolutely agree, everytime. Hospitality vs service

@AskDawnGribble I always say great service can save bad food, but great food cannot save bad service.

Had a really great chat here talking pubs, beers and branded glassware

@hopforwardbeers @OCSmusic Just had a re-listen!! Still a banger!

@Jamestenby @OCSmusic Marchin’ Already is equally as sound! 👌

Moseley Shoals by @OCSmusic has to be one of the finest records ever committed to tape! Still sounds fresh. AF after neary 30 years 🙌 music.apple.com/gb/album/mosel…

Great read! Our Jan figures showed some interesting facts, plus an accompanying chat with @ElectricBearUK on this today... is time to embrace this growing category #nolow #camra
