We got invited to the Beamish & Crawford Brewery last night for free drink and food. It was unreal. They highered a theater company to run the tour and it was top class. First they gathered everyone at the steps, a guy popped out of a window and rang a bell, then an old guy brought us in.
Ben: “I hope they have little Beamish umpa lumpas inside”
The old guy (pictured) was acting as an employee of the brewery from around 1900. He told us loads of stories and sang us a song. There was another dude dressed as a scientist who kept popping his head in and giving us random facts about Beamish. It was hilarious.
Afterwards we got a heap of free pints. Oh so drunk

The Hot Blooded Animals
What a night. What a fucking night. Hot blooded animals are O Emperor, but playing covers, and holy shit, they killed it. The only way to describe it is: You know when you’re on pills and you’re having such a good time and you turn to someone and say “My Jesus, these pills are strong”. It was like that but in band form
New Bibio tune is tasty enough
Just back from the Canaries and what a laugh it was. We went to Corralejo in Fuerteventura. It’s off peak so the town wasn’t very busy which suited us quite well. So chill. Real cheap. We ate like kings and drank a fair share. Got to eat fresh sword fish for the first time in years and also tried barracuda (unreal). Got a beating from the sun though but the pealing has just about stopped by now.
We rented bikes and headed down the dunes of Corralejo. It was great. The sun was almost above our heads and it was incredibly windy. We took shelter behind one of those green mounds in the background, got our smoke on and headed swimming. The water was oh so good. We spent an hour swimming in the surf trying to stay on top of the waves. One of the most fun experiences of my life
