First trip back to London since 2019 this week and there was opportunity to retake this photo. A lot happens in five years. Good and bad. Borough Market beers still good.

Indeed!
Glad to be back in the brewery and starting the year off strong 💪 We kept brewing over the holidays and we thank our yeast for its hard and tireless work. Here’s to lots of beers in 2025 🍻

Ordered a case of beer for the principal purpose of getting some bottles of Schlenkerla for Christmas but it was out of stock so all I got were the token Paulaner bottles. Not at all bad but I really wanted some smoke.

This trip didn’t completely go to plan. Will do it better next year. It was still fun.

Found the right glass for it, too. I remember Dad telling the bottling company he wanted the date code to say ‘vintage’ rather than a ‘best before’.

It’s Always Sunny in Birsay wasn’t a planned beer. “It’s always sunny” is reference to our pervading optimism. Thanks to schoolfriend Ian for the excellent design.
It’s Always Sunny in Birsay A4 prints available now in the brewery shop and this weekend at William Shearer, Kirkwall. So much good feedback and so many requests for this beer this year. The prints will be on the website next week.
