Stunning finish once again in the Sumo, even after the kyujo annoucement sucked a bunch of enthusiasm out early on.
Ao looks set for greatness, surely only injury can slow him down now. Interesting times ahead.
I was at the RAH last night!
Just checked. Three of my books, two in English, one in French, are on the list.
They knew. They made their choice.
It's all that carzy Joe Davola's fault
Also, Ty Segall's version of Every1's a Winner is amazing, if you're that way inclined
I Just Love What You're Doing!
#ncbf done. Plenty of nice beers in show, but @emperorsbrewery again stole the show for me. Trench Run. 14 months in JD barrel. Thick, vanilla, lush.
We're gonna have a new Yokozuna! Never in doubt, tbh. He's gonna be a legend. #sumosky
What a boon that is! Get in Palace
Diamond lights at Glasto?
#Sumo is back this weekend. Onosato to win, and grab the rope?
v4. More complex malt bill, tweaked the water profile, and slightly lowered the mash temp. Boil additions for bitterness only, and some at hopstand. 75% Galaxy, 25% Riwaka, 200g on the DH. Three carb drops per pint. Much rounder body this time, and a little sweet. Peach, grapefruit, passionfruit.

This was a bit good (as usual)
Well done Onosato! You have to think he's going to be an absolute legend.
Feel sad for Takayasu missing out again, but it was a spirited run. Great to see him make it all the way to the end without injury.
Big day today - day 1 of our annual internal tech conference. This time, for its fifth edition, we took the step to host it at an external venue. I think it worked pretty well!
I'm going to the #Sumo in London in October!
Drinking this 2020 Cรดte-Rรดtie from Guigal. Absolutely delicious... Red and dark berries, vanilla, light smoke. It's so juicy up front, but finishes dry with a little chalk. A joy, sip after sip.
You've just got to love Rhรดne reds!
Hypernormalisation
Itโs official: Yokozuna Deliberation Committee recommends Hoss and at a special JSA meeting on 29th, a new Yokozuna will be crowned for the first time in three and a half years.

This just in: The YDC approved Hoshoryu's promotion to Yokozuna.
Pending the official approval by the JSA board on Wednesday's special meeting, he will become the 74th Yokozuna.
What a battle in the play-off! #sumosky #sumo
Big pressure on Hoshoryu now! #sumosky #sumo
I ordered direct this time. I couldn't see any Notts stockists initially, but now I see Kraftwerks and Junkyard have it, and on tap too!
Expecting this to develop a bit over the next week or two (I have a few cans) but my initial appraisal is - it's very good this year.
๐ It's juicy but thick. I don't have to chew through it. There's ample bitterness here, some pine, lots of pepper. Fruit plays second fiddle currently - mango. If you're familiar with Verdant, you know the deal - that savoury, sweaty, oniony flavour? Yeah that's primary. Touch of tonic this time.
This iteration in one word: savoury. Which is very Verdant of it, really.
๐ Onion. Stone fruit. Verdant.
