Just stuck a "craft beers" banner on the front of the bar. This is the latest picture of it, looking good I reckon.

I'm living the dream in the world of beer these days. In my spare time I get to visit pubs and sample their beer and decide if I want to buy it to sell in our bar. We've just had a 4th wicket installe

Do those machines keep it chilled? They're a great idea.    As I brew my own, I don't really have a need for something like that. I buy odd cans and bottles to try things, but I keg my own s

Well screw you lot!

 

I’m having one last beer before heading back to a potential civil war.

 

Laguanitas is a lovely beer, the glass is going in my ruck sack as well…

I love a laguantitas. There seems to be only watered down versions on tap in the UK now. I like that glass too.

I don't pay, which is the main feature for me! 


These are good if you want good solid beers, no real exclusives like with Mikkeller, but still good…

This will probably be better quality and range wise, but pricier…

Yeah, saw that earlier.

 

In the speech he made it seem ike he was helping the little artisanal sector when in effect it was a cash grab on chep shite like White Lightening, a little like they did in Scotland, but without the added social care aspects!

 

There was also pressure in the last budget where the redefined 'micro' brewary if i remember correctely, which hit some of the 'bigger' one like Vedant/Cloudwater/Polly's as their output took them out of the 'craft' band as they moved the quantity levels to qualify down.

 

But, you know, cheaper Rosé and Fizz, bottoms up!

It drives me fucking mad. These cunts are supposed to be about promoting the best of British. We've some amazing breweries that have grown over the last 10 years or so and these fucking bellends are going to destroy them. But they're not arsed, as beer is for the plebs and even if they are drinking, the cost won't matter to them in the parliament bars.

Just had a quick glance at my SIBA stuff. It seems under 5,000hL per year is the starting point and the relief tapers off at 30,000hL and the final threshold is under 60,000hL. Those breweries selling into the top shelf stuff in supermarkets must smash past those limits.
