About Me
- StringersBeer
- Ulverston, United Kingdom
- This is Jon's personal "blog" - I work at an independent microbrewery (a small-scale, artisanal producer of “real ale” and other beery treats), based in the Furness area in Cumbria (or N. Lancs if you'd rather). Or a "Craft Brewer", if you like. We're known as "Stringers", or "Stringers Beer". I don't just make beer - I also sound-off in half-informed rants on a variety of subjects. Like here.

Awfully quiet isn't it. You going to be at the SIBA conference?
no, I'm afraid not. You MUST remember to call it "BeerX". Else NO ONE IMPORTANT will speak to you.
All this has done is led me to look past your angry persona and funny hair and see someone with some really divisive but entirely rational points of view. It's also made me realise you're an actual brewer, read about the beers and want to buy them because they look right up my street (esp. the Bauhaus one)
Is the tweet above from who I think it is? In which case I really wouldn't fret - it's to your credit in fact!
You been kicking off with people again?
Yes cookie, I've been bad.
