Indeed. If It ended at all, it was always going to end badly. This is very badly.

Just read @petebrownbeer.bsky.social column in the Sunday Times. I've been saying this - not as articulately or persuasively admittedly - for years. Hazy is lazy is my summation. Nice one Pete.

Want to see AI in beery action? Watch this shite about Youngers Tartan Special. Photo is a fine example. Guess where it wasn't brewed? And it wasn't a lager ffs.

I see Molson Coors is offering us Caffreys Black Stout. 3. 4% of course. We shall see, but I have my doubts about it's quality.

Mixed bag in Manchester yesterday. Beer of the day was Fullers/Thorn bridge ESB Beermoth. Brewed in the Burton Union set, this was lush in every way. Close second in terms of presentation and taste was Adams Ghost Ship, but the overall complexity of the ESB swung it for them.

Collingwood/ Abbotsford area. Stomping Ground, Bodriggy and one other I can't recall. Easy train ride from Flinders St station. Both fab places and East to find. A beer beforehand at Prince"s Bridge hotel by the station is well recommended.

There is no context required Matt. Simple question, but you know me. An open book, so there you have it.
