Merry Christmas, from my favourite pub in Oxford: The Royal Blenheim. A fabulous pint of Bostin' Mild XXL from Green Duck @greenduckbrew.bsky.social Malty, sweet, a touch of smoke at the back. The platonic ideal of a festive pint.

Delicious beer! @trackbrewingco.bsky.social 'Koyo' (green-hopped Red IPA), was absolutely banging.

Given the times, this passage from 'Lycidas', written in response to the sudden death of a friend in 1637, springs to mind:
Last came, and last did go,
The Pilot of the Galilean lake;
Two massy keys he bore of metals twain
(The golden opes, the iron shuts amain).
