18th February 2023. Sorry about the blog free day yesterday, got distracted by this; No idea what it is, but I’m sure it’ll make a great micropub when it’s finished. Talking of micropubs, back to our Stockton Saturday. I was ahead of schedule so tried to track Mrs RM down in micro central, gave up… Continue reading ANOTHER MICRO IN ANOTHER ALLEY – STARTLING STOCKTON

THE MAGIC OF MARHABA
5th December 2022. I spent the tram journey back from Radcliffe looking at a flurry of comments following the Telegraph article, none of which seemed to be actionable. Back in Manchester, I suddenly fancied a traditional Mancunian boozer. But instead ended up in Fierce, drinking a pint of something murky while I tried to read… Continue reading THE MAGIC OF MARHABA
TIME FOR A NETTLE PORTER & PORK SCRATCHINGS IN FIERCE
Aberdeen is one of the top 10 great pub cities in the UK. No, really. I had four (not three) new GBG entries to visit since my pre Covid trip, and other Temptations (not those ones) lay on every corner. The Grampians are home to one of the UK’s top craft breweries, and I interrupted… Continue reading TIME FOR A NETTLE PORTER & PORK SCRATCHINGS IN FIERCE

The previous Saturday I’d tried for… Continue reading I MAY BE BIG BUT I AM FIERCE
I WANNA BE TEENAGE
A poignant birthday for me, if not Matt (above), as Dad lost his last teenager to the terrifying twenties last Tuesday. There’s loads of great teenage songs, heh ? Well, not much beats the already classic one released last month; Dave “all music stopped in 1979” Southworth had never heard of Olivia, but then I… Continue reading I WANNA BE TEENAGE
FIERCE
After my tick I had 2 hours to kill till Matt gave me my second post-Lockdown haircut; you’ll have seen the state of it after a month on BRAPA’s blog. No obvious pre-emptives, but I REALLY wanted to do Fierce Bar, the new Manchester outpost of Aberdeen’s craft kings. that so impressed me 18 months… Continue reading FIERCE
FRIDAY NIGHT IS CRAFT NIGHT IN ABERDEEN
WARNING : CONTAINS CRAFT 5pm on a Friday night on the mean streets of central Aberdeen. Mrs RM was still turning the University IT off and on again, I was lugging around my overnight bag (mainly phone rechargers), and I had no new GBG ticks to do, unless I jumped on the ferry to Orkney.… Continue reading FRIDAY NIGHT IS CRAFT NIGHT IN ABERDEEN
