Last year @BluesBrewer who now brews for @FellBrewery invited my to do a re-brew of Azimuth. I had hoped to organise a series of events but my health has rather prevented that. However, it will be pouring here. trybooking.com/uk/events/lan… fb://event/?id=426766702443422

So, a few weeks ago @HardKnottDave, @AlexTheNewTyke , @evansarah93 , and I got together in near some grain, hot water, hops, and a few yeast cells. Naturally some Azimuth ensued. Very excited to see it released into the wild on Saturday in Cartmel. instagram.com/p/CXQ8M41q4ZE/…

This is interesting. Is this not coming in as law? Although part of the @BrewDog MO to be looking and trying solutions ahead of the curve. – at Bootle, England
We joined forces with Loop & Tesco, to trial a brand-new sustainable packaging solution. Once the beer is enjoyed the bottles are returned, cleaned, sanitised & filled with more fresh beer giving drinkers a zero waste option. Great beer, that’s great for the Planet. 🍺♻🌍

It is true, the highlight of 2021 is very probably #TimMartin running out of beer due to #brexit karma. – at Bootle, England

So, only really came back onto Twitter to understand what exactly @BrewDogJames had done to upset everyone. Seems it might have blown over. Anyway, just drink beer now. Play with electronics and radio a bit and just try and enjoy everyday as it comes. g6hef.com – at Bootle, England

Also, the pandemic doesn’t help. People worrying about their jobs but perhaps also furlough or forced unemployment resets thoughts on careers. Reasonable contemplation of previous experiences are sure to follow. – at Bootle, England
I’m debating in my own head the accusations of bullying etc in the beer industry. I found running a brewery stressful. Running a pub even more so. I think it is inevitable that this stress ripples down to those supporting the business. Working with beer burns people out. – at Bootle, England

I wanted to share a quick update on the open letter from former BrewDog team members.

Well, this is getting interesting. To be fair, I recognise the parallels of disgruntlement of ex-employees from many industries big and small. When social media is a major plank of your PR campaign then stuff like this is damaging. Live by the sword, die by the sword. – at Bootle, England

So, do I have to stop drinking Punk or is the latest furore more about the fact that there are still a lot of misogynistic twats in the beer industry.? And many pubs are full of misogynists? I’m a dinosaur you see and still don’t “get” Insta. It needs to be explained here. – at Bootle, England
Beer has become a simple enjoyment for me these days. I did manage rekindle my electronics career... which does trundle along quietly. I do play radio a lot now. Tonight was 70cm 432MHz @theRSGB UKAC I got into France.and haven’t even had to isolate. rsgbcc.org/cgi-bin/vhfresult… – at Bootle, England
