80s stuff, Duran, booze (preferably on the dark side) and CPFC, really.
Phwoar! Northern Monk fast becoming one of my favourite breweries. Happy Sunday boozing everyone 🍻 #bskybeer

Stunning performance from ABC last night in Southend - Anne Dudley’s orchestral arrangement a particular highlight. And All Of My Heart absolutely remains in my Top 5 songs from the 80s.

Only ever had it in a can over Christmas before, but on draft this Festive Star by Northern Monk is incredible. Massive hit of cinnamon. A-grade porter #Bskybeer

En route to Manchester for the Duran Halloween gig and accidentally brought a glass and beer for the train. Never-too-early cheers all 🍻 #Bskybeer

Sorry about the near-empty glass, but I just got carried away… Amazing porter. Happy Friday boozing everyone 🍻 #Bskybeer

Two new big hitters at Tesco! Will have to wait until Friday evening with some TOTP to indulge, though. Some people disapprove of that kind of thing on a Wednesday morning with a school run later.

The prince of train drinks. Happy boozing everyone 🍻 #Bskybeer

Finding some Wilde Child in deep, darkest Essex - what a midweek treat! #Bskybeer

Slowly getting through as much of the dark stuff as possible… Loving the #GBBF on a weekday

No. I love Who Knows Where The Time Goes, but not bowled over by the rest of the album. Absolutely love the cover though.

Snap! Just had one too. Cheers!

A delightful 6% American IPA at the Old Fishing Shack in Paphos. If you’re ever in the area, do pay a visit before it goes (owner has it up for sale). Cheers all 🍻 #Bskybeer

Enjoying a lovely Kernel London Stout at the Ale House in Chelmsford before heading up to the racecourse for Duran. So much good stuff on tap! Cheers all 🍻 #bskybeer

A rare free house, a massive Arbor delivery and a new Now Yearbook…I’m like a pig in shit! Cheers all 🍻 #Bskybeer
