TWICB PODCAST Rob is joined by Ollie & James from Squawk Brewing Co. ISSUE67 SIXTY SEVEN JUNE 7th 2021 ISSUE 67 - 7 JUNE 2021 We at TWICB have been having a great time recently making several trips to iconic taprooms in London and elsewhere. It’s fantastic to be back drinking inside venues again, though outside is even more perfect when the sun is shining. Cheers to all of you who we have met on our beer travels so far, and to all the staff busy brewing and pouring amazing Craft Beer. Though things in the UK are improving, the shock announcements about travel last week are a reminder that nothing in this Covid world of ours is certain. We are disappointed that the start our Grand Beer Tours is de- layed until later this year. However, once our destinations are officially on the ‘green list’ and set to stay there, we’re going full speed ahead. Don’t forget to keep checking the promotional pages in our Newsletters for details, and hopefully we’ll see you on one of our awesome trips.

Made to be highly quaffable. Turning Point Brew Co. Drones In The City 4% Bitter A classic bitter made with Maris Otter and Crystal malts, English hops East Kent Goldings and Archer.

The London Beer Factory Dusk (Blend #3) 6.3% Dark Wild Ale A malt driven aroma intermingles with almond and hazelnut and fades into a fruit sweetness akin to raisins.
