@PubsAPPG
Ran a bar shift tonight for the first time in a little while. Really proud that we were able to hire 15+ staff recently out of work. They all have rent to pay and reopening has allowed this to happen. Big thank you to everyone that came for a socially distanced drink tonight!!!
In Brussels drinking Geuze and eating mussels and chips and a ridiculously large amount of mayonnaise. Officially living my best life โจโจโจ

Let's call a spade a spade. We are witnessing the collapse of the hospitality sector. The no man's land that is Tier 2, with 10pm close, hardly anyone inside and people outside when it's almost winter. IT DOESN'T WORK! More government support is needed to support tier 2! ๐๐พ
Draught Relief dropping duty on Draft Beer by 5%.
BUT....only on kegs bigger than 40 litres.
Whens the last time you filled a keg over 30L? ๐ค
I'll go first, it's been about 4 years...(we fill kegs most days)
@RishiSunak

Not really sure what to say ๐ ๐
Crikey the CAMRA drama... Was at a tasting a few weeks ago, both cask and keg. There was a group who refused to even try any keg beer and we're sending it back. They called me 'the devil' for producing keg beer ๐. I think they were the most passionate people I've ever met ๐ค
Absolutely delighted that the Portman group has has taken steps to include discriminatory marketing in its new Code of Practice.ย
I would like to thank everyone who has campaigned on this issue.
It is an important change.
Bye Bye sexist pumpclips. ๐๐ฝ
I'm doing a peice on the telly on the best alcohol free drinks on Jan 5th.
I have some in mind of course but always happy to expand my horizons. Twitter hive mind: Any recommendations?
Major news like a second lockdown starting next week leaked via the press. The added anxiety this communication method adds to an already stressful situation is soooo unnecessary. SIGH.

So whilst I've been stuck at the airport (very delayed plane), I hear
@WildCardBrewery
have won some awards
@SIBASouthEast
Independent Competition. Gold for our NEIPA, Gold for DDH IPA and Bronze for our newly revamped IPA. Very proud mama.
Im in the Basque country, San Sebastian in Spain doing a talk today. Learning all about the craft sector in the region as well. There are 22 breweries in the area. And I hope to try them all whilst I'm here ๐
We've just VERY VERY quickly set up an online beer shop. All local deliveries are free and will be hand delivered by our brew team. Buy some beer please. We can deliver country wide.๐
This is Jan Kraan. He runs a brewery called Brouwerij Kraan in a village called Bodegraven. I'm always amazed by the inginuity of the smallest brewers. Cobbled together, but perfectly functional equipment. Goes to show that you don't have to spend lots of ยฃยฃยฃ to make great beer!
Decided to go on a massive walk across Epping forest today. Took this photo today that accidentally looks like an oil painting. Damn nature is beautiful. ๐
#nofilter
I know
@CAMRA_Official
decision to remove sexist labels from their festivals has been in the press a lot over the last few days. I just wanted to make this super clear.... In May this year we added sexual discrimination (plus homophobia, racial discrimination + more)...(1/3)
Spend the afternoon tasting the Rioja Barrel Aged Saison with E17 grown Grapes. The barrels have been sat for 5 months so far and the beer is delicious. Really quite something. I know the beer will be even better with more time, so back off to sleep it goes.
Normally I would host a International Womens Brew Day at the brewery, but alas can't do that this year. So.... instead I've put together a women led tasting pack of some awesome beers from around the country. Join me + guests Insta Live March 8th, 7pm๐

After the

panel last week and reading the
@Independent
article this morning, I'm feeling pretty hyped. Although there's been strides made internally by the beer industry, the stats show that the majority of female drinkers havn't joined us on this journey.(1/6)
Protests in front of no 10. The crowd then moving on to Parliament, then blocking Westminster bridge, all the while shouting "Stop the Coup." Whatever your stance on Brexit, the suspension of parliament is an erosion of our democracy.
Can honestly say I'm disappointed. Debate was busy, but I'm surprised by some of the opinions of some in 2018. We have a long way to go on the road to equality in beer.
We've been neighbours with
@godsownjunkyard
for a long time. It's taken us a few years but we finally have a neon sign of our own, specially made by our fantastic neighbours. So pretty โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
We're running the bar today at

. 52 beer lines a ridiculous amount of beer and cider and ALOT of staff. Also my little sister Alex is here!
Loved the New Zealand hop combination so much on our recent

@cloudwaterbrew
collaboration, Betty, we decided to make another one!
This beer is the same recipe (with Kveik yeast this time) but is a DIPA, 8% version. It's the big sister version of our Betty(1/2)
Normally we would put on a bit of a party at the brewery to celebrate the launch of our Women's Day Brew beer

. Brewed together with this gang. ๐ช๐พThis year's brew is a hazy, IPA, a tribute to Ada Lovelace, widely celebrated as the first computer programmer.
