I had one of those wonderful work wanders yesterday. Great to walk 10k in the fresh air and get paid to do it.

Home alone with some decent #BskyBeer . This is a really good lager, another of those which reminds us how poor the mainstream breweries are.

I managed to hit a different supermarket's "4 for 3", and am pleased to have got some decent brews.
From Wiper & True, "Daybreak" IPA. Stone fruit up front with a bitter finish. Decent #BskyBeer for Friday.

My second #BskyBeer is again from @thornbridge.bsky.social . "Cocoa Wonderland" Chocolate Porter. At 6.8% it wouldn't normally be a Sunday night beer; but having only had the one last night, and working from home tomorrow...
Loads of chocolate, sweetened by lactose. Good stuff.

Just found out I don't have to drive to the office at 6 a.m., so it's #BskyBeer o'clock. That's my day made, so what better beer than "Day Maker" from @thornbridge.bsky.social ? Nice and light, with bags of flavour.

Tonight's #BskyBeer is "Kill Your Darlings" Vienna lager from @thornbridge.bsky.social . A top drop, reminds me of STF brews- never a bad thing!

"Wild Raven" Black IPA from @thornbridge.bsky.social . This is superb, with the Nelson Sauvin hops adding a complexity which I bloody love! Top quality #BskyBeer for a Friday.

Went for a wander before this morning's meeting near Basildon.

Tonight's #BskyBeer will be drunk with a friend. His husband and my wife will be on the wine. Beers from @thornbridge.bsky.social , a Sureshot/Vocation collab, Deya, Basqueland, Vault City, and Green Jack.

Sunday #BskyBeer courtesy of Bruha in The Alma, Harwich. This is by far my favourite from Bruha, their "Niksun Pale". Quite light up front, with a bit of citrus and apple, and a traditional bitter finish.

Final #BskyBeer of the evening is "DDH Halcyon" from @thornbridge.bsky.social . I've just decided that this would go very well with blue cheese.

I'm watching "Running Man" which features Mick Fleetwood. Fleetwood Mac did "Rattlesnake Shake" during the Peter Green era. And now, as if by magic, I'm drinking "Rattlesnake" West Coast IPA from @thornbridge.bsky.social . Serendipity or awkwardly contrived coincidence for my latest #BskyBeer !

First #BskyBeer via @thornbridge.bsky.social and @oakhamales.bsky.social . "American Pale" from The Union. Another great collaboration, once again benefitting from The Union kit which always adds a rounded smoothness. Lovely drop, making me think of Belgian beers almost as much as American pales.

Next (and last- early start tomorrow) is from Double-Barrelled. "Parka" hazy pale, selected primarily because it was a lower ABV than most of the others on the shelf. This is good, and makes me want to dive deeper into the brewery.

#BskyBeer this evening courtesy of Vocation, "Incognito" double IPA. 7.6%, so another heavy hitter. Normal Vocation quality, so an enjoyable beer. Soft, syrupy up front- a bit like fruit cocktail syrup. Bitter finish.

This #BskyBeer from Brooklyn is even boozier. "Butterfly Photobomb" is a decent DIPA with a thick-cut marmalade finish. Not much to separate from other 8.4% DIPAs, but a good beer.

Friday #BskyBeer from Brooklyn Brewery, "Sorachi Ace" saison ale at a buttock-thwacking 7.2%. It has the funkiness you'd expect, a bit of white pepper, and then a kind of boozy green apple/ mango finish. Tesco 4 for 3 offer. Really good.

Mighty Oak are a great local brewery. Their "Arcadian Amber" is a really decent pint, reminds me a bit of "Nut Bastard" which I had in cans during lockdown. #BskyBeer

Next up (and the only one I've not had before) is "Jungle Juice" from Vault City. I knew from the art it would be like Um Bongo, and as ever with Vault City they've absolutely crushed it. Awesome stuff. #BskyBeer

The limited range in my local supermarket does have one positive: it features a few @northernmonk.bsky.social classics such as "Heathen". #BskyBeer

Sticking with the dark stuff, a pint of Paladin stout. Creamy, with toasty notes. Best stout I've had in a pub for ages.
