Mark Smith-Magee - Views From The Bar

Is cool to hear such feedback from someone whose opinion you respect.

@DaveClarke42 Have you grabbed Rush tickets for the UK tour next year?

@daveratkins I am a fan of Glazen Toren. One of the lesser well known Belgian breweries yet they create some lovely, distinctive beers across their range. Cheers.

Big Beer Saturday. Glazen Toren Scotch Ale. A fantastic winter beer full of rich malts and hints of spices. A true winter warmer.

@daveratkins Cheers Dave!

Happy Christmas Eve - De Dolle style.🍻🎅🎄⛄️

@CigarCityBeer Very pleasant evening ender. Bottled in late 2016? Smooth, soooo easy to drink, even at 9.8%. The balance is lovely. Nothing is too much, it is all just right. Will savour this for as long as possible. Mmm!

@Mr_ian_B The innocence slips away ...

"addicting"

@BrassCastleBeer Oh my! A gently, quenching summer fruity sour. @YorkTap What a banger! Order, tip it back ... order ... repeat.

@DaveClarke42 Hiya Dave. Had a blast - cool meeting you! Was great to meet another Rush fan n it was a cool time besides. Yep, DD's PW was cool so assume he will move on to HYF. What did you think of the gig? We loved it. Just an amazing show. They played Home Invasion/Regret #9! My fave. :)

@ViewsFromTheBar Good to meet you before the SW Lowry gig, wow just sensational. Anyway you said Daily Doug was working through #Rush the 80’s. Binged on his GUP and Power Windows reviews last night. As always fun to revisit stuff you’ve adored for decades with his added insight.

Share a 10/10 album, a no skip trip!? #Metallica

@marblebrewers Manchester Best Bitter on sale at Be.Re.Trapizzino (near The Vatican), Rome. And also cans of the stuff on sale at Johnny's Off Licence near Campo de Fiori. Romans like a drop of Marble!

Tonight at Ma Che Siete Venuti A Fá, Rome. 1. Cantina Errante Forte de Coupage n also Bruin. 2. Cantina Errante and @CyclicBeerFarm Cyclista. 3. @burningskybeer Saison d'Ete. 4. @LittleEarthBeer Darkness MkII. (I brought 3 n 4 from home). Great beers. What a bar! What a night!

Here's hoping this is really good news!

@YuriHegge @thornbridge @rivingtonbrewco Always do. 🍻🍻🍻

@ViewsFromTheBar @thornbridge @rivingtonbrewco Spread the love!

So much respect for @thornbridge! They saved an iconic part of British Beer Heritage. Passion over money. Heart over money. Thank you Thornbridge! 🤘🏻

@punt_rd 🔥 Killer of Giants! Nuff said. 🔥

Ozzy Osbourne’s ‘The Ultimate Sin’, where does it sit? Underrated? Overrated? Between loved & berated!?

@TheExtremeMusi1 Rush

Who’s your favourite 3 person band???

@crockpics Princes of the Universe.

What is your favorite Queen song?

@daveratkins @Thirsty_Pilgrim Gutted to hear this. Steph n I really liked this place n popped in every time we were in town. Gah, really sad. The wanton destruction is the final insult. Loved its lived-in, unpretentious decor.

Confirm the rumours are true, La Brocante in Brussels has permanently closed as of 8th August. The owner has removed anything of value & smashed up anything he couldn't take with him. He is currently being pursued for huge debts. A sad end to a great bar. Note @Thirsty_Pilgrim

@rivingtonbrewco Farm Trip 2024 n having a blast. Thursday was fab n Saturday is shaping up to be just as good. The @ArpusBrewingCo Smoothie Sour n @STFermentations Peated Pale make for a very pleasant start to the day. STF always deliver n Arpus Smoothie Sours are a revelation!
