20) Is a convert to wee bottles of wine. They fit neatly into a bag or coat pocket,and represent good value for those looking to drink on the go @sundancemckid
-Yep, you've always got to be open to innovative ways of expanding your drinking repertoire
19) You can now do a pub crawl in Battlefield. From the Langside to the Clockwork and back again @robsterowski
-Rob, kind of over egging the southside pudding there
18) All these new beer styles are becoming a little bemusing. The latest I've found is RDIIPA... @Molendinarbrew
-Andrew speaking for all of us who yearn for those simpler times of 60/-, 70/-, 80/- and if you were really lucky the odd 90/-.
17) Wasn't really expecting burlesque dancing to the Andrews Sisters #GlasgowMela @ali_king
-Nobody expects burlesque dancing to the Andrews Sisters. That's what makes it the perfect accompaniment.
16) Jaipur in Soc Room. Place is packed. This is coincidental @willmill82
-Will there pondering the finer points of Aristotelian cause and effect philosophy in a Lloyds No 1 Bar
15) I taught my dog to talk. I made him my wingman and went out to pick up women, but he answered honestly when asked if I was worth dating. @VeryShortStory
-OK, only a tenuous connection to beer and pubs but @VeryShortStory is THE best thing about twitter and you really need to be following him.
14) Ilkley Brewey Dark IPA 5%. Paisley Last Post. Reminds me of Andechs Dunkels without the sour waitress @OGCC
-True story: Motherwell football hooligan crew the Saturday Service were through for a game at Love street. Keeping themselves amused whilst waiting to be served in the Last Post they struck up a chant of "Saturday Service, Saturday service. We are the Saturday Service!"
Barmaid,"If youse dont shut up you'll no get served at all"
Not a sound in reply from Lanarkshire's hardest casuals. Class.
13) Asked if I was 'James from tWattDog'. I was wearing my 'Im James from tWattDog' t-shirt & stood outside our new bar shouting CRAFT at people @tWattDogJames
-It really is getting harder to differentiate between the original and the Parody
12) Orkney Dark Island @ Fisherman's Tavern in Broughty Ferry & Ferry Tap in S. Queensferry- prob ~20 years ago - still great ! @AdamSh
-Is this Beer or Ferry nostalgia you're indulging in here?
11) Good to hear that a new Real Ale pub @thelangside is opening up on the @southsidehap in Battlefield.Hopefully makes Clockwork improve... @Glasgow_Red
-And its always good to see someone on the Left putting so much faith in Market forces. What was it Stalin said about two steps forward, one step back when he allowed an element of private ownership in the collective farms to boost production?
10) Great quote from Zimbabwe Information Minister coming up...'The British problem is they behaved like a drunkard who climbed a tree overnight only to wake up in the morning naked and unable to come down and so conjures up all stories to justify why they are there, and it takes time to get down. We are prepared to give them a ladder @BobServant
-Bob cheated a bit by spreading it over three tweets, but too good a quote to omit. And lets face it we've all been up that tree at one time or another.
9) @thebonaccord is that another brewery name I see on your board?! @the3judges
-And the great Lets wind-up the Bon Accord about Brewery names on its Beer board campaign gathers pace with other pubs now joining in. Next thing you know there will be a dedicated hashtag.
8) Best draught beer I've ever had on a train was when I smuggled my last pint out of a beer festival @robsterowski
-Yeah? what sort of train? Did you get the chassis number? Or whatever numbers it is you guys collect...
7) @robsterowski similar to my best beer drank in Nando's, smuggled out of the Bell Inn, Nottingham! @Glasgow_Red
-Hope you took the glass back Joe, 'cos @thebellNott is now on Twitter
6) Things you don't often see in pubs. The sword 'Excalibur' as used in the film. Bolton Arms, Old Basing http://twitpic.com/5fsj38 @AdamSh
-Don't remember the film Bolton Arms, was it it an Ealing comedy? Oh, wait. Yeah I see what you mean now.
5) Velvet Elvis staff need to improve the service. Smiles hard to come by... @barbiographer
-Should've told them you only need 34 muscles in your face to make a smile, but 57 to make a frown.
4) First time in my life I've been in a bar where the staff had heard of The Bachelor Pad @robsterowski
- Funnily enough Bar staff knowledge of twee indiepop is getting its own logo in the next edition of the Good Beer Guide
3) I ain't a fan of the Pee Loiuse. It stinks of piss. Could do with a deep clean. A bit like half their regulars @rhodeshannah
-Kenny with a level of detail you just don't get in the Good Beer Guide
2) You know it's an entertaining evening when it's light when you leave the house, and light when you crawl home... @Molendinarbrew
-Or maybe its just an indicator of the time of year
1) In gallus. It isn't. @sundancemckid
-Brevity is truly the soul of wit. And of a good pub review
