I’m in Siena and after our guided tour I’ve found a little independent brewery which has been existence since 1876! They are called Birra Bader and I’ve gone for small taster sizes of 5 of their beers starting with their hoppy beer - Luppoleto; the Heller Bock; and a Marzen. 1/2

The last two beers at Birra Bader were their Schwarzbier and a Gose. I enjoyed all of the beers with the Luppoleto coming out on top for me, with the Schwarzbier a close second. 2/2

Flying from London City Apt early tomorrow, so I’ve got a hotel nearby. Looked for somewhere decent to have a beer or two not far from the hotel, so I’ve come to @beermerchantsHW and enjoyed a draft beer from @OtherHalfNYC and a Westie from their great fridges from @KCBCbeer.

Some @TheBeakBrewery beers at @HopStopBeers. Bampa on cask, plus their interesting duo of collabs with @two_flints - Early and Late. The first is hopped with early harvest Motueka, the latter with late harvest Motueka. “Late” just shaded it for me, with a bit more going on.

Back up to London today to see a mate perform his comedy show (@Ja50nR05e - go and see him if you get the chance!) so a beer first in the @bluemaidldn (a gorgeous Dark Mild from @HowlingHops), then a pint of @FivePointsBrew Best in the comedy venue (The Roebuck SE1).

Yesterday I went to Blackhorse Lane for Harvestfest. Starting at @hackneychurchbc with a great Westie, before moving on to @BigPennySocial for @PressureDropBrw Pale Fire (which was absolutely 🔥). 1/5

Across the road from there is @40ftbrewery and I was delighted to see another Westie on tap. We were now at the “end” of the Blackhorse Beer Mile, so as we passed @hackneychurchbc on the way back, it made sense to stop for a nightcap of their Festbier! Great afternoon! 4/5

Spent the evening in London yesterday, recording a podcast - but not mine! Lloyd of Pubs of the Shire Podcast invited me to chat about beer and pubs - and boy did I babble on (sorry Lloyd! 😁) Two banging beers from @SirenCraftBrew and @SignatureBrew aided the convo.

I’ve had a cracking few days in Valencia on a work trip. Making our own Paella, trips to great restaurants, and a great guided tour of the city. Thankfully some good beer was available at the hotel bar - local brewery, Tyris.

I’m away again for work - Valencia - but last night I had a couple of beers at home. Obviously the days in Munich of Helles and Festbier have taken a hold of me, as I’ve gone for one of each from @PrettyDecentBC and @SierraNevada. And they were superb!

I went to @harppub for the launch of @JonnyGarrett’s new book - One More Round, which features The Harp itself. The beers were a banging Pale from @kernelbrewery, and a sumptuous and decadent Cinder Toffee Stout from @NewBristol.
