Loved this piece, which completely reflects our thinking (& also gives us an excuse for being slack on our socials these days-we're not useless, we've moved to a "situationship" 😂). What we do like doing, though, is our weekly newsletter. Sign up?

Finally read @dinfontay.com's piece. As old fan of Foursquare and current proponent of RTVRN to blogs & newsletters, I loved it.
Social Media Sucks. What if Craft Breweries Left It Behind?
Everybody knows that Instagram is crucial to a craft brewery’s success. But what this column presupposes is… maybe it isn’t. Hold that thought. My first job out of college was at a publication called ...

One of my favourite Saturday rituals. A beer top up at Deptford's @hopburnsblack.bsky.social, then a haircut at the awesome Strong Arm Steady.

Our book The Beer Lover's Table was stolen. Greatly looking forward to this payout. Too soon to plan the party, @clairembullen.bsky.social ? 💰😂
Open AI’s valuation is at $400 billion. They used about 190,000 books to train their plagiarism bot. Randomly saying 25% of their value comes from that stolen dataset, I think they owe the authors about $526,000 per stolen book.

Eagle-eyed viewers of last night's episode of #TheApprentice may have seen a @radiowammo.bsky.social dishing some spice on one of the teams' hot sauce creations as one of the assembled panel of "industry experts". You might also spot some familiar sauces! Catch the episode over on BBC iPlayer.

Our wonderful neighbour Sid of #SidsFlowers has really outdone herself with this year's Valentine's bunches. Support small independents & pick up a bunch with your coffee, cans or bottles today at the East Dulwich Road shop ♥️💐

The world's dullest hot sauce column in today's @theguardian.com... Annoys us every time we see features centred on supermarkets when there is so much better out there. Online shopping means it's just as easy to buy from indie makers too, so no excuse. Do better!

Met this friendly little fella at Barbados's awesome Andromeda Botanic Garden during our travels. Perhaps he'd come to remind us all that @pressuredropbrw.bsky.social One Day We'll All Be Crabs has landed with us this week... 🍻🦀

Love to see this. Golden rule when cooking with beer - one for the pot, one for the chef 👩🍳🍻
Better late than never, I have made the Christmas pudding. Now drinking up the rest of the beer that I put in. Tropical Stout from the Kernel Brewery. A good choice I think.

Really excited to launch our latest 10th anniversary collab - #9 of 10. We've been keeping this one under wraps until now - made with the legendary Whole Beast, realised by Lazy Scientist Sauces, and paying tribute to the sound of the summer. We love this! ♥️
