Before I had temperature control, I found the best place for consistent temperature was the cupboard under the stairs. No good if you live in a bungalow.

I had a perfect Timmy Taylor landlord the other day. I still like to mix things up though just to make it interesting. It doesn't always work 🤣

Burnt Oak brown ale 4.5% abv on cask in the Bird and Barrel near Barnehurst Station 😋
