LOCKDOWN MANCHESTER BREACHED

LOCKDOWN MANCHESTER BREACHED

August 27, 2020August 28, 2020 20 Comments

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

BREWDOG’S BEAUTIFUL BROCCOLI

July 31, 2020August 1, 2020 19 Comments

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. But with our house on the… Continue reading BREWDOG’S BEAUTIFUL BROCCOLI

BRIXTON TO BRESCIA

I’ve checked my “Blog Post Request Book“, and “Opera and shopping malls in Brescia” has zero votes. So here its is while I countdown to the glorious 4th. At the tail-end of my illustrious NHS career I managed to cadge a couple of lecturing gigs at the University of Pavia just south of Milan.  … Continue reading BRIXTON TO BRESCIA

BREWDOG – THE MURK OF KING’S (COLLEGE)

Tuesday evening.  The clouds cleared, and Mrs RM graced me with her presence on a walk round dead Cambridge pubs. We stopped at the cash point at the magnificent Lloyds, but I’m STILL using the cash I took out on 13th March. QUIZ – What’s the WORST name this “pub” has been saddled with; Cambridge… Continue reading BREWDOG – THE MURK OF KING’S (COLLEGE)

THE CASE FOR A CUBAN BREWDOG

THE CASE FOR A CUBAN BREWDOG

December 31, 2015March 1, 2021 Leave a comment

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

Just had a superb walk around Kelvingrove Park and the Museum, housed in as great a Victorian building as you’ll see. Kelvingrove 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… Continue reading No.1 BREWDOG FAN
