Lovely day for a beer tour! At @southwarkbeer with @thekernelarch7 @mashpaddleuk @BillyFranksCoUk ahead of us. To join a future tour see des-de-moor-beer-tours.desig…
Drinking a fino sherry from Emilio Lustau in Jerez de la Frontera. Full of acetaldehyde: green apple, green almonds and olive brine, gracias a la flor. Interesting that these would be big-time off flavours in most beers, but very much part of the character here.
Kill the Cat's innovative original branch in Brick Lane closes end July, though thankfully the more bar-like Spitalfields branch will remain open. One of London's most interesting bottle shops but it seems the future is drinking in. @BeerGuideLondon @Pisci

First look at new Deptford beer bar Lucky Anchor at @hopburnsblack party, looks very promising, great beer list tonight. Amazing also that HBB are 10 yrs old, congrats to them. What a decade!
Another Bermondsey beer venue on the way, in Druid Street, from the folk behind @HiverBeers
Drinking Moor Beer again this evening after a day judging, tasting at @drinkmoorbeer Bermondsey!
Pleased to hear one of my fave brewers @Bridge_Brewer in Burton, whose owners have been trying to retire for some time, is continuing by merging with iconic neighbour @Heritagebrew & with the great @EmmaJCole as manager. Hope the DBA, Empire & Tickle Brain keep flowing!
Enjoying myself at @peckhamcellars which has the added advantage of being 20 mins walk from home. I’m in my dotage. I drink wine now.
Fab evening last night, my 1st time in legendary @Brownsouppub Queens Head Newton with Justin from @drinkmoorbeer talking cask & flavour with a delightful audience, great cask all round, not just Moor but Tring mild too, thanks for invite!
London X Ale, my collab with John Hatch at @RamBrewery, is back! 5% Victorian-style pale mild with a naughty handful of @CharlesFaram Jester hops this time round & tasting v good tho I say so myself, one firkin only on now at @SambrooksBrew
Really excited to be co-hosting a talk and tasting on Cask with Justin of @drinkmoorbeer at legendary @Brownsouppub Queens Head Newton (1 of 5 listed in every Good Beer Guide) nr Cambridge on Thursday, details here queensheadnewton.co.uk/whats… @CAMRABooks
At @CAMRA_AGM Caird Hall Dundee getting ready for my cask tasting & just spotted the venue was a location for one of my fave hidden gem films An Englishman Abroad (1983) when it stood in for the Bolshoi in Moscow.
