Quite a lot of this... https://www.vocationbrewery.com/product ... sour-440ml

Bidding on 4 boxes of it on an auction site, thought I'd been out bidded so added another... Turns out it was a different listing, so I now own 108 cans! Anyone riding through S10 who likes sour beer is welcome to a cold one!

Well, exactly... Kind of thought I was bidding for 4 boxes of 4 cans, so put a tenner plus VAT and fees as a bid... Turned out one lot was 4 boxes of 12 and the other was 60 cans! Seeing as the whole lost cost me £30 all in I'm pretty happy!

Bivvy fuel for the solstice sunrise. Got a rather nice picnic to go with: salt and vinegar almonds, French cheese of some description, kabanossi, and some olives.

Milk

Decaf coffee, oh the horror.

Got three of the weaker ones of those in Lidl - fiver for three .

Old Peculier

Live BAM in progress.

Literally had just opened the bottle and taken a sip, when the ground and air started shaking, and a couple of Chinooks flew right over the top of me, about the height of two houses

Jemima's Pitchfork, brewed in honour of Jemima Nicholas who single handedly ended the 1797 battle of Fishguard using only a pitchfork

That immediately conjured up an image of a bunch French fops (this was pre revolution mind) being seen off by a Welsh person prodding them in their derrieres with a pitchfork; with them eventually them all crying and running off!

Abbeydale Salvation cappuccino stout, served with kabanossi, Manchego, and a lovely view across the valley. I think it's Bakewell's lights I can see twinkling on the horizon.

And a wee dram of Penderyn for pudding.

I spent the evening in the Põhjala brewery tap.
Öö X was an excellent way to finish things off.

I had the pleasure of looking after this handsome young fella this afternoon

I even got paid for my (non existent) effort, so on the way home I thought I'd treat myself to a nice bottle of red wine. In the end, the choice of what to get was really quite easy

very nice, not overly hopped

I hope you're drinking it on Axe Edge for the full experience . Bit bleak this time of day though. Well ok, bleak any time of day .

BBBBB - Bear Bones Bikepacking Beer Bivvy, lovely. Got one of those cans in the cupboard, I might go and..... Oh. Mrs P says I have to wait until Friday evening. Er, I'd better do that then.

Pleasant dreams!

Also in the lastminuteBAMwherethehelldidthemonthgoit'sallbeenabithecticohwellI'dbettergetoutit'snowornever club, a wee dram of Penderyn.

Don't get that 'hip flask' mixed up with your breakfast stove meths bottle

Vocation Crush Hour, refreshing from the fridge after a 'day off' pedal around Coniston/Langdale, while I make pizza for the girls tea. I've some Salt Huck a Back and some Northern Monk Heathen Club too. Tasting better for a week of no beer.

I used to live near Axe Edge and must report to having visited much bleaker venues.

"Buxton, while possessing a pleasantly low temperature in summer, rightly enjoys the reputation of being the coldest place in England during the winter."

Very pleasant in the summer though yes I grant you - especially if you're sat in the Flash Bar Cafe having a nice second breakfast

"Buxton, while possessing a pleasantly low temperature in summer, rightly enjoys the reputation of being the coldest place in England during the winter."

Yes, admittedly, descending from the Cat and Fiddle (I worked in Macc) into the frost hollow occupied by Buxton, was occasionally bone chilling.

Some really nice Cider from these guys https://www.farmcider.co.uk just outside ludlow. Apple and Ginger and Apple, Elderflower and Damson are lovely.
