@Beer_Bore Superb!

To quote Lord of The Rings. 'They Come in Pints, I'm getting one' Ayinger Celebrator, it's just lovely and special and lovely and the first time I've seen it on draft at House Bar Heaton

@daveratkins I have one in my Xmas stash!

What a magnificent beer Lupulus Hibernatus is. Especially in the 75cl bottles. Huge depth of flavours. Full mouthfeel. Rich malty tastes and long dry bitter finish. Superb 🇧🇪🍻🎅⛄️🎄

Delighted to be heading to The Blue Moon Cambridge this December to give a talk and tasting. Rumour has it I'll be taking a keg of the @salfordbeerfest winner Cherry & Dark Chocolate Dubbel collab @craftbeerncl Know any Cambridge-based beer lovers? Please let them know!

🎉🎉🎉

That's it! We're done for another year. All that's left is to break down the bars tomorrow morning. Thank you! Everyone that attended, we love you. Thank you! All of our amazing volunteers, you are #ISBFFamily. Thank you! Hemsley House for being our home... Until next year...

And today was a good day. Thank you to everyone who’s tried our collab beer with ISBF and Steam Machine Brewing Co. at @salfordbeerfest this weekend! #ShareTheBeerLove

Hello from @salfordbeerfest 👋 We’re checking out the talk from @NickSmithFOB + @seanayling then it’s time to try our #ISBF9 collab beer with Steam Machine! 🍒 #ShareTheBeerLove

@deathbybecky Let the soil dry out. House plants like that can tolerate the soil being completely dry between waterings, but the flies usually can't. Good luck!

Green fingered friends I need advice. My cheese plant has been over run with little black flies and I don’t know what to do! I don’t want to harm my plant but want rid of the little fuckers. Anyone got any tips?

Our first ever collab. is released today! Steam Machine X ISBF X Craft Beer Newcastle Look Down Look Down Dubbel with Dark Chocolate & Black Cherry Launching at #ISBF9 with bottles available from us at @BlackfriarsRest Christmas Market on 30th Nov - 1st Dec

As the co-founder of a ten year old brewery I agree here on every single point. This blog could have been taken from my own mind...

@Beer_Bore :O

A classic bit of fan mail from 9 years ago. Warms my heart

Q: What do @durhambrewery @FL_Brewery @McCollsBrewery @NE_Alchemy @riggandfurrow & Steam Machine all have in common? A: They’re all launching new beers at #ISBF9 next week! #ShareTheBeerLove: @salfordbeerfest

Decoction mashed (that was fun!) a Fellowship Of Beer hefeweisen today, so celebrating the end with a rare classic courtesy of @Beer_Bore ! (Also, check out the colour from the mash before and after the decoction!)

@BeerChannel Pfft, what does it know!

Brutal burn from AI on a video today....

@saltwellmackem Hooray! My mate wrote to them a few weeks ago and had a reply from @LidlGB to say they had no plans to do them this year!

@NickSmithFOB It's in the online leaflets nick, alpine week from the 17th! 👌

Lidl oktoberfest fest packs instore from the 17th people! 🍺🍺🍺

@mrcjmartin @LidlGB I think this is last year's graphic. As the price and name of currywurst is slightly different to the current website offers. (I'd like to be proved wrong though)

Breaking briefcase news...

@hopforwardbeers Aww Nick, I'm really sorry to hear that. You have my condolences.

That moment when you speak to someone on Zoom, they ask how it’s going and you say, ‘Not great. My mum passed away last week’ and they clearly a) weren’t listening or b) weren’t interested in the answer and say, ‘Ha ha, yeah, nice one!’ 🤦🏻‍♂️ I couldn’t be arsed to correct them.

Another @kornolfestival is over. Too overwhelmed and emotional to say more right now. Maybe later.
