An event with cake. What’s not to like?
Almost too scared to eat the In the Wake icing…almost.
Pint!
Brooklyn - Stonewall 4.3%
Session IPA at the Water Rats, London. Fairly lightweight with a touch of grapefruit peel in the mix. Very welcome in the oppressive heat of London today.
#Bskbeer
Obligatory coldest place known to man photo. Off to that there London to listen to @sidsmith.bsky.social waffle on about King Crimson for a couple of hours. Should be fun if I don’t melt.
All ready for the off…
As well as enjoying a bit of booze now and again I also enjoy reading about it. This piece by @barmas.bsky.social about Norwegian cider is really interesting and has reinforced my wish to visit the country. Well done sir.
Today’s view from the office…

Siren - Lumina 4.2%
Session IPA which is largely uneventful. Some citrus, some bitterness and generally lightweight but inoffensive. Probably a good pre train journey selection. At the Parcel Yard, King’s Cross, London.

Pint!
Howling Hops - Pale Ale Series No.1 4.0%
Citra & Simcoe pale ale with just the right amount of bitterness. Very quaffable at Tap East in Stratford, London.

Pint!
Saint Monday - Cold IPA 5%
Orange forward flavour. Some dryness- from the Swiss lager yeast? Pleasant change from your run of the mill IPA at Tap East, Stratford, London. #Bskybeer
Obligatory pre listening party photo. This time around for In The Wake of Poseidon with @jothekendall.bsky.social & @sidsmith.bsky.social
