I still can’t believe that the Lambic Trail works and is so popular.
What started as a way to share a love of an under represented style whilst trying to fill pubs in January has become a calendar staple!
Thanks so much to everyone that attended and to everyone that makes it happen 🇧🇪 🍻

The Tyneside Lambic trail is always such a great reminder of why beer and pubs matter.
A huge thank you to Mick at @thefreetradeinn.bsky.social for putting the whole thing together, to the venues, and to everyone who joined the @craftbeerncl.bsky.social social yesterday ❤️

This cask Azacca Mosiac hazy pale ale by Byker brewers Two By Two served at @thefreetradeinn.bsky.social was my favourite beer tried during a short trip Hyem.
A cracking beer. Nice tropical fruit flavours with a lovely mouthfeel.
Cheers! 🍻

Some pubs in the North East are now taking a stance on AI and won’t share or display any artwork featuring generative AI (including brewery pump clips).

I couldn't be arsed to go into town, so I watched the 6pm fireworks display from outside my local @thefreetradeinn.bsky.social - nice view over the Tyne and the bridges, with proper beer.
