Matt has completed his first year in Manchester. I was going to say he’d acquired a barbering qualification, a penchant for the Paramount (JDW) and a girlfriend, but Emma would rightly have called out my casual sexism. Emma joined us at BrewDog (I), a place I’ve never warmed to in the way I have the… Continue reading LOCKDOWN MANCHESTER BREACHED

BREWDOG’S BEAUTIFUL BROCCOLI
The campervan is getting me out and about as I knock off the required 399 runs ticks in GBG20. If I had a mechanical liver like BRAPA (369 pints in Surrey this week) I might even have finished the Guide before the 2021 edition emerges in, er, May 2023.

Yesterday I tried to sum up Havana’s non-beery appeal, but I didn’t cover the things for which it’s famous (and likely to be much more so once Americans are allowed back in). I don’t get cars (Pop Plus/Ka/Aygo is my history), and I couldn’t even tell you what the one above is (it‘s blue), but… Continue reading THE CASE FOR A CUBAN BREWDOG
No.1 BREWDOG FAN
Just had a superb walk around Kelvingrove Park and the Museum, housed in as great a Victorian building as you’ll see. My wife forced me into a lunchtime trip to the BrewDog across the road despite my best efforts, and the flight of their stronger beers again proved her instincts right. I’ve seen mixed reviews… Continue reading No.1 BREWDOG FAN
