February 2012 Top Beer & Pub Tweets

Start of a new month can mean only one thing: a compilation of February's Top Beer & Pub related content on Twitter:

17) ‏ @TheBlackIsleBoy

Found a bar in Stockholm that has 5 bottles of AB:04. Anyone got one million pounds? I'll bring 2 back :-)

Aye reminds me of that Pogues line about lend me £10 & I'll buy you a drink. Rich vein of tweeting from Chris in Sweden, well worth checking out his timeline if you dont already follow.

16) Ken has been travelling too, albeit less glamorously
‏ @rhodeshannah
Just seen some bloke buy a pint of @jdwtweet 's Veto Ale at stansted using a €5 note. #irony

15) ‏ @buddiebrilliant

Just realised my O'Dell 5 Barrel Pale Ale is out of date! Tastes great but maybe I can get a freebie for my troubles!

Tweeted like a true Buddie

14)  @bow_bar

“@cutteroo: Neva mind drinking the @MagicRockBrewCo @Bow_bar , smells like you could roll it up and smoke it!!! :)”

Ah yes, so many of us have been struck by the link hophead/dopehead. OK this next one isn't strictly beer but leads on from above and sort of struck me as a classic tweet expressing succinctly something I'd always knew to be true without ever getting round to putting it into words

13)  @JollyReprobate

Odd that potheads call their smokes "blunts," since it takes them forever to get to the point when they're talking.

No problem getting straight to the point no problem for this next regular on TB&PT

12)  @TheBlackIsleBoy

Aldi are selling Innis and Gunn. Perfect brand positioning.

Saucer of milk for table 3 I think

11)  @AleselABeers

This is a "craft" tweet. Carefully created by my own hands, it is superior and looks down upon other mass-produced tweets with derision.

And with that the whole Craft/Keg/Cask kerfuffle was put to bed. At last.

10)  @ThePoke

Three intransitive verbs walk into a bar. They sit. They drink. They leave. (via @Mcsweeneys)

When you saw this one yourself you just knew I'd include it here, so didnt want to disappoint

9)  @FordhamBrewing

Overheard on today's tour: "We brew on Saturdays. I guess you could call us seventh-day fermentists."

The thinking man's Punsters

8)  @TheSimonEvans

Most people are in fact like Marmite:- a by-product of the brewing industry

Short & snappy but with an underlying, sombre element of truth. Just the way we like them here

7)  @bobby__peru

The Vale Bar in Glasgow has gone downhill, always been a bit, erm, basic but last night's crowd resembled a Hieronymus Bosch painting.

Eat your heart out @barbiographer

6)  @ArranBrewery2
Arran ferry collided with pier last night no ferry today brewing at a standstill as malt not able to be delivered on schedule,
As excuses go you have to concede it is right up there with the best

5)  @tweetabixface

If your wean had been screaming for half an hour, it is time to pay them some attention or leave - not buy more drinks

Another regular on TB&PT who just doesn't have enough followers in my opinion.

4)  @bulls_horns

I like to go into bars, drink about 12 beers then say 'one more for the road, the baby should be asleep in the car by now'.

Couple of contrasting views on Children in pubs issue there

3)  @Darkstarbrewco

@RealAleBritain suggest you do your sampling in the pub, you'll find that's the best place and you'll be supporting the trade along the way
The only way to deal with Kevin the Chancer. But did you notice this was re tweeted by no fewer than 10 beer bloggers. They never get free beer of any kind. Oh no.

2)  @borrachoeneldia

Curlers attracts quality neds. group at window are crackers." ahv goat yir number in this phone ahm gonnae get you"
'Overheard in the pub' remains my favourite source of tweeting. Don't get nearly enough of it. So come all you regulars: start earwigging.

Prohibition makes you want to cry into your beer and denies you the beer to cry into. -- Don Marquis

That would bump up the IBU count no end
