80s stuff, Duran, booze (preferably on the dark side) and CPFC, really.
Just too fast for me!

Of course - always happy to discuss anything Duran! The tempo on the single version feels too fast and manufactured, feel you get more of Andy’s guitar on the album version. What are your thoughts?

Album version so much better than the single version.

Very similar. Haven’t fully cancelled, but only ordered once since the rebrand. Used to really enjoy browsing all the different breweries, but now just settle with Arbor or something I trust.

And what an album opener To Die a Virgin is! (And good luck - if that’s the right phrase(?) - for the next 6 days 😬.)

Just got ridiculously excited thinking this was the Bristol-based brewery that had opened in Plymouth, Devon near a mate…only to realise it’s Plymouth, Michigan.

Was at the Manchester one last weekend - so much great stuff on tap (the Festive Porter was sensational).

Stayed up the road at the Sofianna the past few summers and visited often! Wonderful place - and some lovely cats too. Owner had put it up for sale, so good to see it still going strong. Enjoy! 🍻

It’s just Martin Fry these days, and he was struggling a bit with a cold, but he still sounds great. The orchestra is a wonderful addition. (Only a 15 minute drive away so was my first sober gig - not sure I’ll do that again!)

Visited the Northern Monk bar in Manchester at the weekend - such a consistently good brewery.
