As Iβm in Dundee, made my first official visit for what may become a future book, a fascinating chat with Johnny from Holy Goat Brewing on all-Bretannomyces fermentation, cask ageing, blending & the impact of hops on funk. Tasted some very promising beers in tank too.



Really excited to be co-hosting a talk and tasting on Cask with Justin of Moor Beer Co. at legendary Queen's Head, Newton Queens Head Newton (1 of 5 listed in every Good Beer Guide) nr Cambridge on Thursday, details here queensheadnewton.co.uk/whats-on CAMRA Books

Enjoying myself at Peckham Cellars which has the added advantage of being 20 mins walk from home. Iβm in my dotage. I drink wine now.

Pleased to hear one of my fave brewers Burton Bridge Brewery in Burton, whose owners have been trying to retire for some time, is continuing by merging with iconic neighbour Heritage Brewing Co & with the great Emma Cole as manager. Hope the DBA, Empire & Tickle Brain keep flowing!

Kill the Cat's innovative original branch in Brick Lane closes end July, though thankfully the more bar-like Spitalfields branch will remain open. One of London's most interesting bottle shops but it seems the future is drinking in. BeerGuideLondon Emma Stump
