I'm determined to keep @pelliclemag.com sustainable which for me means:

- Better rates for contributors
- Fair remuneration for our team
- The ability to plan bigger projects (like print!)

To do this we need to grow our subscribers, and you can read more about why this is important here:

When Jonny and I started working on Pellicle in earnest at the very start of 2019, we spent a long afternoon discussing how we hoped to fund it. From day one, we were dedicated to paying every contrib...

He'll hate me for saying this but this fella deserves some sort of lifetime achievement award. Somebody will tell me how much @salfordbeerfest.bsky.social has raised for charity over the last ten years but this festival is so much more than that. It brings people together in the best way.
Moscow is reached at 11:30 pm

This is the final push.

Send hopes and prayers for my energy levels 🤣

I'll be signing copies of 'Made in Manchester' and 'Northerners' at the wonderful Waterstones Altrincham on Saturday 22nd November, 5.30-6.30pm. It's the evening when the town's Christmas lights are switched on.

I think that I may just about detest the "word" "Crushable" more than I do the term "Craft Beer".

Bite me.

“I think the turning point for a lot of people was natural wine and lambics, [as those people] have now started looking at ciders.... "

At #ISBF8 (or was it 7?),we had a side event on exactly this, the interface between Mixed-Ferm / Sours and low intervention Cider.

This is something I really wanted to feature at our little bash.

And @pelliclemag.com @totalcurtis.bsky.social are just the people to do this justice.

There may be some tasters too.

This is going to be ace.

Fabulous beers. Exceptional Ciders.

And a even better welcome.

Go. Treat yourself. You won't regret it.
Just a reminder that tonight's event has been cancelled. Hopefully Black Cactus will be back soon.
It would still be lovely to see YOU at the bar though 😁

We've got some cracking beers on, plus ciders, wine, cocktails and alcohol free drinks.

See you later! 😊
