Over £40 raised at the quiz last night, a massive thank you to Sarah for running it and everybody who turned up, and these beers are on now @bagatellejohn @BeersInChester @CamraChester @WirralCAMRA @MerlinBrewingCo
I love the increased availability of dark ales in cask at this time of year. Altrincham today provides Dunham Porter at Costello's, Blackjack Manchester Stout in the market and Kirkstall Percolator Stout at the Beacon, all in great nick. No time to wander further but a good haul. – at Sale, England

Britain's pubs are a result of Britain's heritage. Allow one to die, and so too will the other. ⏳️

The reality of this “breathing space” for #pubs. This will help:
6-8% of pubs in England
0% of pubs in Wales
0% of pubs in Scotland
0% of pubs in Northern Ireland
No cavalry coming for pubs.
#Budget2026 has put costs UP for over 95% of UK pubs!! 🤬

Another huge blow in #Budget2026 for #pubs #hospitality & small shops: Chancellor @JohnHealey_MP effectively announced that the Labour Govt will break its manifesto commitment to scrap #businessrates & replace them with a fairer system to level the playing field between high street & online giants 🤬

The latest episode of Beer Prime is now available, and it features recent @BrewJournal Brewers Choice award-winning brewer Toby McKenzie of @redwillowbrew. Get yourself a cask beer - sparkled, of course - and have a listen!

"...with a bar run by an independent brewery". Hoping for one with a reputation for a good range of cask beers!

Carlsberg; possibly the worst possible custodian of our brewing heritage.
Cheers @Morrighani for highlighting how Carlsberg-Britvic have destroyed our much loved British brewing heritage.🍻👍👏🤬

For a great many winters, our pubs have kept us warm, and together. Pubs should never be overtaxed or forced into being expensive. They're there to unite and maintain each community within Britain and Ireland.
