Beer. I like good beer. And food. Good food. Wine is pretty good as well. Red wine rather than white. At a push though I'd have white.
Finishing as I began.
More Goatfire and some Totem of Skulls from Holy Goat. 👌🏻
Incredibly indulgent festival tradition of a few beers alone with a book ticked off.

Now a Yikes Brew Co, Beer name, just random words.
A new brewery for me. Had to Google.
Used to brew out of Granton but now they reside in Dalkeith for some undisclosed mysterious reason.
Juice seems to be their raison d’être and to be fair absolutely ticks that box. Would again.

Now an Overtone something or other.
They do brew lovely NEIPAs but (whisper it) they do all taste kinda the same.
I stand ready to receive the mob with torches and pitchforks.

Kids Christmas concert in the morning, and now a wee trip to Glasgow for some festive spigot.
And beer.
Starting very strong with a Holy Goat Goatfire. Fabulous. Might have peaked early.

Lovely few beers at Two Towns Brewing in Paisley.
The Juicy IPA and Salted Caramel stout were particular good.
A good fridge as well.

Imagine my surprise when I went onto a wee taproom in Paisley and found my favourite Helles on tap.
Superb. What a lovely pint.

A rare (for me) Mills beer.
They never disappoint. This one is complex, balsamic loveliness, and no way is it 10%. So easy to drink.

Another solo play of Civolution, this time a pretty hefty loss to V.I.C.I.
Such a great game though.

Grill’s on.
OTT chilli for those interested.
The beer’s from Arrans Seagate brewery where I was at the weekend. Profits from this one go to the mountain rescue team and it’s absolutely delicious, so that’s a win-win.

Having one of my favourite beers of the last few years to celebrate.

Set up The Belgian Beer Race last night for a run through today.
Gonna have to wait though, there’s gardening to be done.

Really had a hankering for a heavy game after being on holiday so Cloudspire it was. Hadn’t played it in a year so a fair bit of rules refreshment was needed, but it’s now been on the table for three weeks and am loving it.
