Bass 1988 Strong Ale, bottle number 445/500. Heavily aged as you would expect but still drinkable after 37 years. Always fun to try something older than I am!

Beer people! I’ve recently been given this bottle of Bass Museum Brewery Strong Ale brewer in 1988. Ltd edition #445/500. Does anyone have any information on this beer, or Museum brewery from that time? All info appreciated. I plan to open it and try it in due course.

Looking forward to watching this later this evening, particularly after this glorious pint of Landlord I had yesterday at the Russell Arms, Butler’s Cross, Bucks

Happy Sunday all, enjoying last light of the day with a @millsbrewing.bsky.social Standing Beer in the garden. Dry, acidic, fruity goodness, with a peppery hop finish. Delicious.

Just look at this pie. Incredible.

Tonight’s supper was a bottle of Wadworth Old Timer Strong Ale and a pork pie from Block & Butchers of Wendover. The pie was sensational, the beer was fantastic and the pairing was sublime.

Had a great time on the Wadworth Brewery Ale Trail Pub tour this afternoon. A great afternoon out in Devizes for those who like beer, pubs and history.

Jalepeno & Dill is the best flavour of Pipers crisps.

If only more lagers out there had a colour like this. Bohemia Regent Polotmavé is hitting all the right notes for me tonight. A delight.

He would probably advise me to eat an apple and do some naked frolicking in a stone circle.

The weekly food shop was so brutally busy this week I’ve felt the need to go for a pint afterwards. (First mouthful already gone before the photo)

The wall of fame in the toilet at Beerfly Bedford, some bangers have poured through those taps

Quality visit to St. Albans beer shop yesterday to pick up some Christmas treats. Particularly looking forward to my planned Thomas Hardy’s & Christmas pudding combo.

The Fullers Old Winter Ale is tasting particularly good this year.

After a decade of threatening to do so, I have finally started beer blogging.

In my most recent post I lay out why I think we might see a “craft smoothflow” trend from UK independent breweries in 2025. Check it out and let me know your thoughts

Bb 10/23 still tasting fantastic, probably the last can of Brewpoint Hopscotch in existence. Found at the back of my beer cupboard. What a Sunday evening treat.
