Yes, yes, Boak & Bailey's Saturday round-up.
I've just caught up, however, on their previous post, which was fascinating, and the 1951 photograph is particularly wonderful:

GOOD MORNING! Pubs are struggling. The 2026 Good Beer Guide is "a triumph". Craft beer is still growing in India. Gen Z really isn't drinking. BrewDog beers have lost their edge. Nobody really knows which is the oldest pub in London. New Boddies is "drinkable". 🍺🍻

Our current local (yes we're v lucky). We've noticed it's been busy this summer (when it can not be). Which is jokily rather bloomin annoying when there's nowhere to sit 🙄, but as publicans ourselves, lovers of pubs & just people who want to see small local biz succeed is great to see - cheers 🍻
BLOG POST: Our former local, The Drapers Arms, got a bloody great big billboard back in July, and apparently it's been good for business. 🍺🍻

When pub signs go big and go viral
As social media erodes around us, perhaps physical advertising could help pubs get found – and convey what makes them unique.

American-focused (obviously) but really interesting read about the last decade in beer and brewing 🍻
Ten years isn’t that long, not really. But the last ten years? In so many ways, it seems like a century.

Got to write the Average Beer Miles at the bottom of The Drapers menu board this evening, after working it out sans calculator. My Dad helped with the fraction. We can neither confirm nor deny its accuracy 😆 Good to try Counter Culture in the wild too 🍻
