Just tried doing our regular delivery to Wetherspoons and got turned away because we were wearing poppies 😡 😡 😡 Burnham's Britain 😡

Sad to report our website is still working. We hope to have this sorted in the next few hours.

Emails are back now. Shite.

Just in case you're trying to contact us this morning, our emails are all down. It's brilliant and hopefully they never come back.

Pilot claims Pilot have done more to stand up for milkshake IPA than ‘almost anybody’

BACK - ( after a protracted absence ) @pilotbeer.co.uk Bucks Peach Wheat Pale 4.3% abv. £3/33cl

Yes diesel is expensive at £2 a litre but a milkshake IPA works out at about £18 a litre and tastes an awful lot worse.

Nothing worse than when you’re trying to siphon some milkshake IPA out of one car and into another and you accidentally suck some into your mouth.

Still, some good news at last! We've managed to save an awful amount of cash by firing our lawyers and accountants and just hiring Manchester City fans off Twitter who are surprisingly well qualified in all such things. Apparently.

Had a call from Number 10 asking us to take this down. Bit weird.

Delighted to announce we’re the Official Shirt Sponsor for Manchester City’s 27/28 Enterprise National League North campaign.

At some beer festival way back pre-Covid, probably about 2017, a guy in a Manchester City shirt told us we were the worst brewery there. He was technically correct but, still, hopefully he’s had a terrible evening.

At the end of every month we put the payroll through and the bank website says "are you 100% sure this isn't a scam?" and we have a good look at our staff and think "honestly not 100% sure, no."

Always knew these right wing grifters wanted to drag us back to the past but never realised that with their “repeatedly do something moronic then get their incomprehensibly gullible online fans to bail them out” schtick the very specific past they’re after is craft beer in 2016.

NEW - @pilotbeer.co.uk Pineapple Radler. 2.5% abv. £2.70/33cl

Yes we did see advert and considered applying for the job as Steven Bartlett’s head of social media but coming from the world of craft beer we’re just not used to grifting deluded oddballs.

Delighted to announce we are no longer the Official Beer Partner™ of Ed Sheeran’s 2026 Loop Tour.

Bayeux tapestry? More like Bayeux case of delicious beers at pilotbeer.co.uk right! Right?

At least all of us Leith breweries can stop shoehorning Sunshine On Leith into every other beer launch now.

Haha we asked ChatGPT what we would look like in the 80s and it came up with a picture of a slightly awkward 8 year old nerd wait what?

Just remembered we're a brewery. Should probably try to sell some beer. Back once again (for the renegade master) it's Festbier! As ever, it's resplendent in a definitely non-copyright infringing can and 100% delicious. pilotbeer.co.uk/festbier

👉Had the pleasure of meeting ChatGPT at a charity do once. It wasn’t pretentious, it was surprisingly down to earth. THE BOTTOM LINE? VERY funny

We’re often asked why Oktoberfest is in September and the surprising answer is that the Germans just got it wrong.

13 years we've been at this and we still haven't managed to get a line in that Adam Brooks's pub. Come on Adam, what do we have to do here? There's only so many Union Jacks and Spitfires we can fit on a badge!

Bouncer voice: yeah not tonight mate

Beginning to look like sending 17 cases of beer to the guy who was doing the Ronnie O'Sullivan mural may have been a mistake.

Pretty excited about our upcoming rebrand as we’ve hired the absolute genius who came up with the phrase “working royals”.

We’re often asked who the worst brewer is and the answer is Julia Hartley-Brewer.
