Here’s a throwback to the humble stubby — captured in original art commissioned for my latest newsletter. It’s more than just a bottle; it’s a symbol of an era in beer culture that may be on its way out.
Check out the full story and artwork here:

What if brewers brought quality lagers and ciders back to the stubby bottle? I spoke with Reece Hugill of Donzoko Brewing about this nostalgic revival.
Could the stubby make a comeback? Find out in my newsletter.

Stubby bottles were once a supermarket staple with a hint of continental flair. From Tesco’s Biere D’Or to Kronenbourg, these bottles tell a story of changing beer culture. Read more in my newsletter.

@SRDas @drinkstodon all excellent questions!
I'm off to the Whisky Exchange's new Tequila and Mezcal Show later.
What's one thing you'd like me to find out while I'm there?
There’s something special about a stubby. It's more than beer, it's a ritual, a moment of pause, a cheap, reliable companion after a long day.
I explore what stubbies still mean today in my latest newsletter.
What’s your stubby ritual?

Hey friends, I've written a newsletter about stubby beers and why we still love them.
I've also pulled the boat out and included two interviews and some specially commissioned original art (from a human).
So if you like it, share the love!

@Mutedog hey that's really cool - so glad it turned out well!
Thinking of hosting a Christmas party this year? Here's how to make life easier for yourself.
Off to an event for Laphroaig tonight. I always say that I love it (and Islay drams in general) but it occurs to me that I've not actually had any in a few years now.
Will I *still* like it or will its briny iodine smoke slap me around the chops and poke a finger in my eye?
The 21 Year Old PX Cask Finished single malt from Bunnahabhain is an absolute banger.
Big sherry as you'd expect. Lots of nutty European oak. Charred pineapple, orange, toffee apple and cocoa powder. Creamy, complex, long and warming. Lovely.
Happy #BookshopDay to those who celebrate. And especially to those in #SouthLondon
Nice to see the #BBC has actually made it across the river:
theWhiskyteacher #tvtip: 20.35hr on BBC One, Our Lives - The journey to Scotland's remotest pub.
Documentary that tells the story of the inspiring, thriving, Scottish village of Inverie on the Knoydart peninsula. Twenty-five years ago, the local community pulled together to buy the land from private owners, securing its future for them and the many who travel there.
Draft beer on the plane. Beer tapped fresh from a wooden barrel was part of Lufthansa's Senator service until the 1970s.
