When I wrote about Old Peculier last year, it was to document a beer that I love and perhaps give it a little of the spotlight many lesser beers enjoy.

ICYMI this weekend CAMRA passed a motion that means its campaigning will now focus primarily (but not exclusively) on supporting independent breweries. A hugely positive step IMO.
The @camraofficial.bsky.social AGM in Torquay the best for years. Well chaired by Ash @corbettcollins.bsky.social. A breath of fresh air. Key debates on tackling global brewers, supporting indie brewers. Glad plans to reduce the number of pubs in the Good Beer Guide have been rejected.

Nice fruity zip on the nose. Gently carb’d on the tongue. Taste has stone fruits upfront, developing a moreishly dry citric bitterness. A pleasingly quaffable IPA from #FlashHouseBrewery.
