Hello

I’ve developed a hangover prevention method which means you can still have alcohol. I've written up the method as an online course so you'll learn how to prevent a hangover in the first place.

Click on the Linktree in my bio. It is called Hangover Prevention Method Course.

I've had a lovely surprise to learn that I have been shortlisted in three categories in the inaugural @womeninbeer.bsky.social awards along with some incredible women.

Entrepreneur of the Year
Industry Champion of the Year
Industry Icon

Anyway, must dash, I'm off to bribe the judges.

One I've been waiting for: sumptuous collab between Garrett Oliver of Brooklyn Brewery, & @thornbridge.bsky.social. Fermented using Burton Union Garrett helped rescue from Marston's. Pale, crystal & chocolate malts with Fonio ancient African grain adding cream & fruit notes. Superb, rich and fruity.

Fab marketing from Cornish Orchards - 'Uncover The Truth About Cider'. A lie detector test compares Cornish Orchards (made from freshly pressed apple juice) to mainstream brands from ultra processed apple juice concentrate with added aroma, flavour and other additives.

Happy Beer Day Britain everyone!
In the absence of a breakfast beer (an oversight on my part, obvs), I’m heading out to the pub in a bit to meet Beer Day Britain founder, @schoolofbooze.bsky.social herself, for a Sunday roast…& perhaps the odd beer or two.

This is beer related art by my brilliant and talented sister @helenpeyton.bsky.social. It is a lino-reduction print (Helen's speciality - a very tricky technique to perfect).

It is barley under the Milky Way, growing in a Yorkshire field .

I've been in Hay, the book town in Wales, to host a cider tasting and talk at How The Light Gets In Festival. It's the type of amazing festival of ideas where a Nobel prize winning mathematician & philosopher Roger Penrose cosies up with a booze mistress (me) in the book shop!

Update @thornbridge.bsky.social: Their first London pub will now open in September The Wild Swan after an early Thornbridge beer, promises "a heavy cask beer offer". 99 Fetter Lane, at the corner with Fleet Street, the nearby White Swan was demolished in November. Iconic historic pubs remain nearby.

Borough (London) has a really fab new indie pub. The Blue Maid owned by @unbarredbrewery.bsky.social brewery. Keg & cask beers from Unbarred + lots of other indie brewers & draught cider from Ascension.

Several tables along the adjacent alleyway so it's a summer AND winter pub. Opens Apr 7th 25

I can vouch for the beer being glorious. And if you think the finger jewellery is wonderful as Emma suggests, you should have seen the other hand!
Perfectly poured Czech beer at @brighton-brick.bsky.social yesterday afternoon. And some rather wonderful jewellery modelled by none other than @schoolofbooze.bsky.social

A very big cheer for Hiranthi Cook of Cidentro Cider for winning GOLD at World Alcohol Free Awards 2025

I was one of the judges and this was the only gold medal awarded for cider. Hiranthi only recently started making no alc cider so to win a major award on her first try is most impressive!

Love this! Also, Bodger's is one the best barley wines I have ever tasted. Roger's Bodger will be even better.
Sunny drive through the glorious Chilterns to Chiltern Brewery to help brew special edition of Bodger's Barley Wine. To be called Roger's Bodger's. (Old meaning: country craftsman) My brewer's coats 2012 2014 2025 modelled by Dudley. #bskybeer

Congratulations x 2 to Burnside Brewery, the only British brewery to win GOLD @worldafawards 2025 for Right To Roam IPA. The brewery also won SILVER for Wayfinder Wayfinder pale lager.

I was one of the judges & Right To Roam IPA was by far my favourite of the three days!

Big congratulations to Mova Beer, a brewery in Dnipro, Ukraine for winning a GOLD medal at World Alcohol Free Awards 2025.

I was one of the judges & remember judging this beer - a scrumptious, flavoursome dark stout.

Slava Ukraini.

Delicious fresh juice ciders by @twofarmerscider. Made in Herefordshire mostly from Dabinett & Michelin bittersweet cider apples.

The fruit cider is gorge, made with real fruit juice - raspberry, strawberry & blackcurrant not sugar packed syrup & co-fermented with the apples.

I'm partial to a perry! Sandford Orchards have released a new limited edition perry made with Blakeney Red, Green Horse, Brandy and Gin pears.

Look at this gorgeous packaging for Anthem, a completely delish session pale ale newly released in cans. It is brewed by St Austell Brewery from all British ingredients.

I have drunk it many times as a real ale and now its in cans I will be drinking it many more times.

Where's the party? At these houses in Brighton Kemp Town and London Mile End where wine and perry are on tap.

I went to a Bridge class with a friend. It was our first lesson. She learned quickly and was very good at the game and I was very good at drinking the beer.
