I enjoy pints of cask ale, crosswords and the darts. Oh, and I occasionally write a blog.

This last weekend I spent in Sheffield for the Abbeydale Road Beer Festival. My lord I wish I remembered more of it. Getting the print home in one piece was harder than I first thought.

Following the namesake of this beer “Go on then” and treating myself to a sausage roll. Positively sweltering but the staff are class and the drinks going down nicely!

A £2.29 pint of Jaipur at Spoons before my journey back to Sheffield. A few pubs that I’ve got too long without (looking at you Rutty and Shakey’s) and of course Sheffield Wine Week in Bole Hill. Cannot wait!

Chilling out at the Wonky Labrador this afternoon/evening. Hidden gem in Sheffield, cosy little craft beer micro bar - I import you to visit! Mac and his team always make you feel so welcome it’s a cracking place.
And they do a doggy paddle!

Train to Sheffield from Wigan. Would be rude not to pop into Swan & Railway for one. Pint of Ghost Ship for me today.

Working at The Old Shoe was my first encounter with craft beer. Well, any beer.
I’d try what we had on tap and realised that this stuff is bloody good. But Sonoma always stood out, so much so it inspired me to get into craft beer. Happy ten years to a belter of a pint. @trackbrewingco.bsky.social

Look what’s turned up on my doorstep this morning! Going to take a trip to a bottle shop to find something nice to drink whilst I read it this evening. Thank you @katiematherkm.bsky.social and @pelliclemag.com - I hope that this can be the first of many for you!

Consulted the @beerguidelondon.bsky.social and hopped into The Lyric. Enjoying a red ale and a homely atmosphere. Lovely stuff.

Enjoyed some Hawkshead Red earlier at Taproom No. 12 in Ormskirk. Would’ve had more but the barrel went signifying my time to leave. Cracking stuff.

I managed to finally receive my own dimple jug, and thought what better way to break it in than with @timothytaylors.bsky.social.
What is everyone else drinking on this Friday payday? Cheers!

Did a thing yesterday. I decided to make myself an advent calendar, and by make myself an advent calendar I mean buy a lot of beers.
Figured that if I want to properly seek my way into this industry then it’s important to have at least tried a lot of Britain’s foundational beers.

Found myself in the ALDI middle aisle today and locked eyes with this treat for the evening. What an absolute result.

Just applied for my first job that’s within the beer industry. It’s nothing much on paper, and they say don’t get your hopes up, but I can’t help but just have a twinge of excitement for what could be.
Either way, I’m now enjoying my evening sipping on some El Dorado.
