Hello

I’ve developed a hangover prevention method which means you can still have alcohol. I've written up the method as an online course so you'll learn how to prevent a hangover in the first place.

Click on the Linktree in my bio. It is called Hangover Prevention Method Course.

I've had a lovely surprise to learn that I have been shortlisted in three categories in the inaugural @womeninbeer.bsky.social awards along with some incredible women.

Entrepreneur of the Year
Industry Champion of the Year
Industry Icon

Anyway, must dash, I'm off to bribe the judges.

Thank you for the mention! Jane

The official beer of Chloe Kelly #Lionesses2025

One I've been waiting for: sumptuous collab between Garrett Oliver of Brooklyn Brewery, & @thornbridge.bsky.social. Fermented using Burton Union Garrett helped rescue from Marston's. Pale, crystal & chocolate malts with Fonio ancient African grain adding cream & fruit notes. Superb, rich and fruity.

Fab marketing from Cornish Orchards - 'Uncover The Truth About Cider'. A lie detector test compares Cornish Orchards (made from freshly pressed apple juice) to mainstream brands from ultra processed apple juice concentrate with added aroma, flavour and other additives.

And I'm sure it's just the beer that you need at that very moment! #cheerstobeer

What a perfect day we have ahead of us.

We need to start a brewery called Odd Beer then we will always be up for an odd beer or two!

Happy Beer Day Britain everyone!
In the absence of a breakfast beer (an oversight on my part, obvs), I’m heading out to the pub in a bit to meet Beer Day Britain founder, @schoolofbooze.bsky.social herself, for a Sunday roast…& perhaps the odd beer or two.

"Brewers droop" My piece in the current Private Eye 30 May - 12 June.

This is beer related art by my brilliant and talented sister @helenpeyton.bsky.social. It is a lino-reduction print (Helen's speciality - a very tricky technique to perfect).

It is barley under the Milky Way, growing in a Yorkshire field .

I've been in Hay, the book town in Wales, to host a cider tasting and talk at How The Light Gets In Festival. It's the type of amazing festival of ideas where a Nobel prize winning mathematician & philosopher Roger Penrose cosies up with a booze mistress (me) in the book shop!

Today (May 13th) is World Cocktail Day! So here is a piccie of me drinking a Blood & Sand to celebrate the publication of my book The Philosophy of Cocktails from British Library Publishing.

Available from book retailers and signed copies from my webshop.

As he should. You are a national treasure - the jewel of beer!

Update @thornbridge.bsky.social: Their first London pub will now open in September The Wild Swan after an early Thornbridge beer, promises "a heavy cask beer offer". 99 Fetter Lane, at the corner with Fleet Street, the nearby White Swan was demolished in November. Iconic historic pubs remain nearby.

Thank you to @camraofficial.bsky.social and all the branches for being such stellar supporters of Beer Day Britain and Beer Day Northern Ireland!

I purposely arrive early when I travel from York station for the same reason!

Your motorhome deserves the heavenly rays, did the beer?

Love the Royal Oak!

t's really ace. When I was there people were telling me about its former ropey incarnation. Nothing ropey about the new Blue Eyed Maid!

Definitely a place to add to your 'good indie pubs' list.

Borough (London) has a really fab new indie pub. The Blue Maid owned by @unbarredbrewery.bsky.social brewery. Keg & cask beers from Unbarred + lots of other indie brewers & draught cider from Ascension.

Several tables along the adjacent alleyway so it's a summer AND winter pub. Opens Apr 7th 25

I can vouch for the beer being glorious. And if you think the finger jewellery is wonderful as Emma suggests, you should have seen the other hand!

A very big cheer for Hiranthi Cook of Cidentro Cider for winning GOLD at World Alcohol Free Awards 2025

I was one of the judges and this was the only gold medal awarded for cider. Hiranthi only recently started making no alc cider so to win a major award on her first try is most impressive!

Love this! Also, Bodger's is one the best barley wines I have ever tasted. Roger's Bodger will be even better.

Congratulations x 2 to Burnside Brewery, the only British brewery to win GOLD @worldafawards 2025 for Right To Roam IPA. The brewery also won SILVER for Wayfinder Wayfinder pale lager.

I was one of the judges & Right To Roam IPA was by far my favourite of the three days!

Big congratulations to Mova Beer, a brewery in Dnipro, Ukraine for winning a GOLD medal at World Alcohol Free Awards 2025.

I was one of the judges & remember judging this beer - a scrumptious, flavoursome dark stout.

Slava Ukraini.

Delicious fresh juice ciders by @twofarmerscider. Made in Herefordshire mostly from Dabinett & Michelin bittersweet cider apples.

The fruit cider is gorge, made with real fruit juice - raspberry, strawberry & blackcurrant not sugar packed syrup & co-fermented with the apples.
