Brewing Director at Iron Pier Brewery. Big fan of old Hymer motorhomes, old Staffies, and old beer styles.
Yup Nightwatch for me too.
I think maybe just because it gives so much backdrop to the watch series of characters, especially Vimes

Wonderful brewery. I miss seeing their stuff over here now. Used to be pretty common sight a decade or so ago. Loved their artwork on the bottles, cans just don’t quite have the same impact.

Yeah it’s crazy. We are looking at about £500 a month rise in rates next year, plus beer duty rise. So beer is going to get more expensive, just like everything else

Our entire economy is set up to create this though. It’s more tax efficient to earn money from owning something than from working.

Yeah, Id definitely rather give more money to staff than beer duty and rates, but it is another cost that’s going up alongside everything else. It’s tough to find the money for all the rising costs, but the least that one is putting more money in the pockets of people that work in the business.

And seemingly had little plan to capitalise on the any good will, brand recognition or anything else. Always felt to me like it bought failing business and continued to operate them in the same way that saw them fail in the first place. Particularly with the 3 you mentioned.

Just showed that photo to Lee - he said he’s very honoured to have been your favourite South London toilet 😂

Oof that’s a great three beers right there.

Maybe that’s why they branched out from beer - so he can check in his Pepsi with his happy meal.

For a worrying micro second I thought that said LinkedIn….

Yeah I saw that on a few bars in London, I think the Wenlock had it on as part of their green hop event this year.

Nice looking venue. Where’s that?
November 4, 2025 at 6:49 PM
Oh really - where did you end up finding somewhere?

Considering their current form they’re probably just wanting to know when it’s on so they can leave before having to watch it.
