First try of Hop 2000 from Grey Trees (local brewery, about a mile from my house). Fruity and hoppy IPA 🍺

A day in Bath yesterday - mainly books, beer and walking 📚🍺🚶

A neoclassical building with columns labeled Friends Meeting House features posters and people standing outside under a clear sky. A spacious and brightly lit bookstore filled with shelves of books, tables stacked with more books, and customers browsing and engaging with the store. A small outdoor café table holds a book, a glass of beer, an ashtray, and a pair of glasses, with outdoor seating and a street scene visible in the background. A cozy pub interior features a wooden table with a glass of beer, a packet of crisps, and glasses in the foreground, while patrons chat near the bar in the background beneath hanging dried hops. A yellow building with a sign that reads Bell stands along a street under a clear blue sky, with additional older buildings visible in the background. A yellow flag with a smiley face waves above a group of flower pots and a wall painted with smiley faces, set against a backdrop of trees, buildings, and a colorful mural.
