I loath to leave this platform after 12 years but I just can't justify staying considering what it's become and who owns it, so I'll no longer be posting here. Follow me on Instagram, Facebook or Bluesky. Links below. bsky.app/profile/roamin… linktr.ee/roamingtheridi…

ISBF it's about people. People coming to meet up each year. The ISBF Family that comes together each year. The Brewers that comes to talk. And - ultimately - helping people is why we do this. Here's how you did good. salfordbeerfest.com/news/thank-you…

Back in Black ‘24. Jolly good 😀

Sad as I am, I’ve always wanted to do this. For the first time ever…..I’ve managed to do the Jaarl v Sonoma test on cask at a pub I know keeps beer really well. Two beers I consider to be THE best Pale Ales . Sonoma wins by a fair bit which was a surprise to me 🤷‍♂️

On the train home after watching Clitheroe FC lose at Bootle. A good day out again, spoilt by 90 mins in the middle 😂. Wouldn’t have it any other way. Football, love it. Onwards and upwards CFC. Great to see so many Topside Fanatics Bar side boys there.

Welcome to the new world order 🥴

Ever wondered what its like in a Sam Smiths pub that’s been shut down for years ? Well here it is. Not sure Hump will be pleased but he doesn’t need to save on power (nor £2 a pool game) 🤣 facebook.com/share/p/1AKqpS…

Perhaps the best and most honest episode yet from this season. Well worth a listen if you haven’t done.

Managed GBG 2 ticks on the way to Wythenshawe v Clitheroe. Almost Si BRAPA Everitt levels for me 🤣

One for Si BRAPA Everitt to read… boakandbailey.com/2025/02/perfec…

The @trackbrewco Fusion was superb The Northern Type tonight. Reminded me that although its 30 mile away I must get there more often. #itsbeentoolong

Scores for the trip to Much Wenlock Si BRAPA Everitt Sad to say the GBG George & Dragon came 3rd out of the 3 pubs we tried. The Wye Valley HPA & Butty much better in the Talbot & the Fox.They always have a dark beer on, sadly it was GK/Wolfpack which tasted like watered down guinness😡

Great read from Oliver Holt in today’s D Mail about completing his “92 Journey”. Love you to write a book about it, especially more covering the differences between the old and current grounds throughout the EFL. 🤞
