Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire 📍

Just finished the second collected volume of Clive Barker's Books of Blood. I genuinely consider these six volumes to be some of the best horror writing available. The short story format is perfect; the narratives are tight and genuinely creepy. #booksky

I got dragged to Manchester Christmas markets last Sunday. Looked at all the different food options, ended up coming home only buying two scotch eggs.

Recently eaten and highly recommended.

🚨 new brewery tasting alert. Picked up a few cans from Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 brewer Cold Shelter Brew. Dark and Gothic can art, but with some light and hazy beers inside. #bskybeer

Tonight's beer is brought to you by Fuerst Wiacek, a Berlin 🇩🇪 brewey doing hazy and hoppy beers. A couple of solo efforts but mostly with some British brewery collaborations. #bskybeer

Idea for Manchester City Council. 🚨

A safe passage route for those poor souls (me) that work in the city centre allowing us to bypass the Christmas Markets. If one more person stops suddenly in front of me or I have to walk into the road to dodge a group deep throating a German sausage.....

I'd be really interested to.fimd out the combined hours lost in a 12 months period on the Leeds - Manchester Calder Valley due line to signalling issues. If I had more about me, I probably could.

The Turner Prize finalists are currently on show at Cartwright Hall in Bradford. It's free to see (but you need to book your ticket in advance) and well worth a visit.

Signing off tonight with a very boozy imperial double IPA from north of the border with Holy Goat Brewing -Mighty Scoop. A brewery I'm becoming a big fan of.

From Halloween to Christmas, Santa's Hop Sack by Amundsen Brewery. An orange IPA but with a very light mouth feel. Tonight I realised that Amundsen is a Norwegian brewery! With their bold and brash cans, I'd always assumed they were American!

My only Halloween related beer tonight (purely on name and can design) Dark Silhouettes by Azvex Brewing Company. A brewery I've been meaning to try for a while and based on this beer, one I will be seeking out again!

Completed my first playthrough of Deadeus on Indie Collection 1 this afternoon. I saw the end, all on my own on top of the mountain, can't wait to work out how to get the other ones!

I was initially really excited to watch the Metropolis remake. Great director and a strong cast, in the end I went off the reviews and skipped it. However, Metropolis by Verdant is not a beer to skip, it's a dreamy, hazy mouthfeel treat of a beer

Friday Magic by one of my favourite UK breweries Left Handed Giant. This has a right zesty little kick.

I honestly bought this Pressure Drop Brewing beer due to Gameboy style artwork. But stayed for the fluffy New England IPA haze.

All the coolest cans of beer So cool I'm going to have to give each can its own post. #BsjyBeer

The Marble Arch in Manchester is worth the walk a bit further out of town for a drink. #BskyBeer

Jumped on the Boddington's bandwagon tonight. Didn't get it in one of those fancy B branded glasses I keep seeing on social media. This was my first ever pint of boddies, despite growing up in Manchester. #Bskybeer

When the person you manage is also a fan of an early finish and a trip to the pub. So you combine their one-to-one with a pint. #bskybeer

The hills of the Calder Valley which Henden Bridge sits between, were hidden behind mist this morning. It almost made up for the wet Sunday we had to suffer.

Once called RAF Station Leconfield library it's home, which closed in 1977 so I bet it has had quite the journey this book.

Came across Dominic Cooper's The Dead of Winter thanks to @benjaminmyers76.bsky.social - Under The Rock. I’m glad I did. What a book. Cooper crafts something genuinely mythical here - the prose is beautiful, but the story is uncompromisingly brutal. It's a profound, melancholy read. #booksky

The @wdcfc.bsky.social away fans making some impressive noise in yesterday's 1-0 win at Atherton LR Football Club. West up to 2nd in the #nwcl 🖤🤍 #groundhopping #nonleaguefootball

The Gallows Pole by @benjaminmyers76.bsky.social First read it only knowing a few places when living in S. Manchester. Now I live in the Upper Calder Valley, and every hamlet and place name is recognisable. Reading a book set where you live hits different #BookSky

A very unique setting for a beer and book night, Verdant, Beak and Track at Manchester Museum teaming up with authors Phillip Marsden, Tiffany Jenkins and Rebecca Watson for 'A Night at the Museum'. #BksyBeer #booksky
