Hi @sirencraftbrew.bsky.social will these also be pouring at your 12th birthday event? Thanks!

Well that’s a wrap for 2024, thanks for reading if you made it this far. And also huge thanks to my local bottle store/bar and friends at @ahoppyplace.bsky.social. I look forward to more drinking adventures and stat checking in 2025!!

And finally in at 10 & newbies to the list - @neptunebrewery.bsky.social. I was fortunate to meet Julie and Les at a lovely beer festival in Leeds and promised I’d buy more, which I did 😀

@elusivebrewing.com in at 9. Much lower than I thought they would be but pleased to see them in after a fantastic year for them which saw a brewery expansion and the highlight of my beer adventures in 24 - a beer / food pairing day at Clay’s in Reading. Amazing. Will try harder in 25!!

At 8, another returner to the T10 - Beak. Amazing beers from one of the best in the UK. I love Dest (Pilsner) but I think it was a TTO at Hoppy Maidenhead in 24 which contributed to most of this.

My most local brewery Stardust are 7th, a slight drop on 23 (blame Indie Rabble 😀). Again I love all of their beers, a highly underrated brewery and being within 5 mins of where I live, super convenient.

@northernmonk.bsky.social come in at 6th. Their Great Northern Lager is fantastic and I love the Patrons Project beers. Missed a few of the OFS releases though, they were great, not sure if it’s still happening?

@verdantbrew.bsky.social return in 2024 in 5th after missing out completely in 23 - I can’t believe it. Again, thanks to a summer holiday in Cornwall I paid a visit to the brewery in Falmouth. They are one of the best in the UK.

New in at 4 - the sour magicians Vault City. First time for a sour brewery in the T10, and largely thanks to a visit I paid to the Wee Vault in November.

In at 3 and a stalwart of my T10 for a few years now - McColl’s Brewery from Durham. Fantastic quality at an amazing price, Crowded Pilsner is my fridge filler.

My new love @indierabble.bsky.social in at number 2. I must admit I thought they’d be nr 1 and I am pretty sure in practice they are, as I haven’t been as consistent in logging beers there. Mostly because I’ve been too focussed on enjoying them 😀

@sirencraftbrew.bsky.social come in at number 1 for the 5th year in a row! It was close though, much closer than in previous years. Thoroughly enjoy all their beers and look forward to having more in 2025.

Elusive at Clay’s was a wonderful highlight of 2024, Andy. Well done, fantastically authentic and executed perfectly. More in 2025? I hope so! Have a lovely break!
