Happy to find a new vintage Schlenkerla in my local monopoly shop. Their Jahrgangsbiere are incredibly smooth. This one is smoke and marzipan. Nice while planning a Franconia trip in December.

This Danish Bock is not particularly tasty, but extra points for the amber color.

Very happy to find Schlenkerla Kräusen on tap at Cafe Sara in Oslo. But the young men behind the bar sruggled to understand the Umlaut. The last line of the taps, please. #Schlenkerla #Franken

Lufthansa has relaunched its in-flight cocktail at least 3 times since 2005. The original dates to the 1950s, or maybe earlier. That version has also been relaunched, though under a different name. Also: David Bowie.

Thursday-Saturday next week is time for the highlight of the beer year in Norway - the Trondheim brewery festival. This year a good range of smoked beers, but there is something for everyone. I’ll be serving beers for Bygland and Rodebak. Everyone welcome!

Another day, another inexperienced but hopeful writer, announcing that they have “been offered a book deal” for £20,000. Turns out that the author is being expected to PAY THIS to the publisher, not the other way round. Folks, no publisher does this.

Wherever I travel, I try to seek out a craft brewery. Including in Kalamata, Greece. Nice soft lagers with noble hops. Well received in the local tourist industry. Bonus: Sea turtles in the harbour!

I heard of Martyn Cornell’s passing, but it hasn’t sunk in yet. Can barely believe it. A terrible loss — such a lovely and supportive man. Only a month ago he was suggesting a publisher for one of my book ideas. He will be sorely missed.
