Tank pour of my new Belgian West Coast IPA "Bitter Disappointment". Going into kegs today. You see, sometimes I actually do make beer! This is the first of a new core range, that'll include some old favourites and a couple of new beers too. Hit me up if you want a wee sample. 😁

And now featured here as part of a balanced and nutritious lunch...

Not only is this the greatest thing I have ever seen, it's the greatest thing I WILL ever see.

Ha, everyone else has cornflakes...

If you want a true insight into what it's like to be a brewer, it's when sentences like "Sorry, I'm running a bit late, had to have a quick shower to get the yeast out of my hair." Became perfectly normal things to say...

Okay dokes folks - I know I've been totally silent on socials for some time, but I promise I still exist and I do still make beer! 😅 A slew of Summer weddings had me pretty busy for a chunk of the year, plus I decided to go for a cheeky wee rebrand. But now... I am back! 🥳

So without further ado, here be some new beers, in some new clothes. 😍 They are back on the ye olde web shoppe right bloody now and presumably/hopefully back in real life shops shortly.

You may have noticed a full selection of goodies now available at Cornelius. Do not be afraid to buy them all at once...

Nice to be back out on the bike getting cans in shops today/tomorrow. But did it have be blowing a fecking hurricane?! Might need to get some aero on the old boy - front wing anyone??

New beer! 🎉 Hoppy Nonsense - session IPA with "a few" hops in and a bit o' Belgian yeast. The beer is good, the photo is bad. But whaddaya want from me?! I'm not one of the three marketeers.

I should also point out that, as of today, Tartan Shark is now available in Porty. Ohhhh yes, the East of Edinburgh is in for a bloody treat.

Some more fun news. I'll be doing a little tasting/meet the idiot - I mean Brewer 😬, at The BeerHive on Friday between 5.30 and 7pm. So if you fancy trying a couple of beers and/or just having a wee chat that is where I'll be.

"I'll just leave this wood outside for those shelves I need to build, it won't rain... Or snow." 🤦 At least it's tres bonny out there though.

There's a certain irony in being asked to give the weight of a set of broken scales...

That's a real test of the lateral thinking that one...
