Sad news. James showed me round a couple of years ago. A character but clearly very passionate about what they do.

Very sorry to hear of the passing of James Fawcett of Thomas Fawcett & Sons. He and the company always had a lot of time for what we do and a supporter from early on. I was fortunate to visit them with John Keeling when he was with Fuller’s and learned a great deal. RIP.

@hopheaddarrell Makes you wonder what value they still see in the brands

[Points of Brew @points_of_brew]

Some of the replies to this 🤦‍♂️

[Points of Brew @points_of_brew]

@ObsoleteSkills I loved them historically yes but never the same after being reacquired

[Points of Brew @points_of_brew]

Don’t think they were ever the same again after they were re-acquired which is a real shame.

Really wanted them to come back again and relive those old Cannonball Runs! Wonder if anyone has the original recipes and could revive something similar? 🤔

Sorry to read this about Magic Rock brewery.

@staffsbrewery We’re all allowed one indiscretion surely?! 😂

[Points of Brew @points_of_brew]

Come on then, who’s attempting Dry January?

If so, which breweries are you turning to? Which beers have you tried before that you’d recommend either in draught or small pack?

[Points of Brew @points_of_brew]

@thebrewodyssey @StAustellBrew @thornbridge This is it, it can only get better hopefully can’t it?!

[Points of Brew @points_of_brew]

@marcus_hunt Thanks mate 👍

[Points of Brew @points_of_brew]

@thebrewodyssey I’m 50/50 if to try it more permanently than just January once what I have in the fridge is done. Maybe month on, month off kinda thing?

Also, I’ve found that Proper Job 0% is great from @StAustellBrew and Green Mountain AF from @thornbridge is also pretty good too.

[Points of Brew @points_of_brew]

@marcus_hunt Ah nice one! Well it’d be good to stock some if we can get hold of it ooop North

[Points of Brew @points_of_brew]

@marcus_hunt We had a batch of these last year and went down pretty well. Might get a variety in again to test the water this Jan & beyond

[Points of Brew @points_of_brew]

@SiWCbrewery @marcus_hunt @gang_mash @CloakAndDagger Perfect. I’m collating a list so I might be in touch to find out more if that’s ok

Good evening, remaining folks of X. I’m looking for information on breweries that exclusively cuckoo brew, have their beers cuckoo brewed or are regularly brewing beer for other companies for a potential upcoming article.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated 👍🍺

[Points of Brew @points_of_brew]

@mrcjmartin @fiercebeer Thanks mate appreciate it

[Points of Brew @points_of_brew]

@marcus_hunt Figured as much. Such a shame

[Points of Brew @points_of_brew]

I guess the fact that the first like on this post was a fake porn account kinda tells me where X is at right now…
