Makes a nice change to be fiddling with my knobs again rather than pulling my tap handles 😳 #soundengineer #livemusic #tamsinquin @tamsin_quin (at The Tuppenny)

Got some more amazing beer in today for the fridges, but in the words on Pink Floyd, “YE CANNIE HAV YER PUDDIN’ IF YER DON’T EAT YER MEAT!!!” This is your meat. Help us make some fridge space ladies and gents, we want to blow your minds with hottest beers this side of far out!! These are all brilliant beers, at a crazy price. Don’t forget we have Larkin & Hall with Canute’s Plastic Army live in the bar tonight. Come on... treat yourselves!! 😘 (at The Tuppenny)

Well it’s finally on guys & girls!! We had in in cans in the fridge a couple of weeks back, but it virtually flew out! So if you feel like you missed out, worry not!! Illicium ice cream imperial pale from the incredible @wanderbeyondbrewing is now available on draught for a strictly limited run!! And anyway, as we all know, you never really properly had a beer ‘til you’ve had it on draught 😘 This one’s a 10%er so will only be available by the third of a pint. With all that milky goodness in it, it’s dangerously easy to drink 😳 so don’t overdo it folks. Love ya’ll xx (at The Tuppenny)

Wine lovers! Don’t forget, from Tuesdays to Fridays, between 5 and 7pm, our fabulous ‘house’ wine selection, is only £10 per bottle!! Perfect for an after work wind down, or a pre dinner pep talk :) we take as much pride in our wine list as we do in our beer selections. It took us a long time to settle on a house range that we know you deserve. None of that horrid jaw bone tingling plonk in here. The Reserve Saint Marc range offer a fantastic Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah Rosé and Merlot all hailing from the sunny south of France. All are brilliant examples of the grape varieties, proper wine for proper wine lovers!! While we’re also on the subject of our house selections, it’d be rude not to give a shout out to our core draught beers and cider that can be enjoyed in here all year round. @renegadebrewery ‘s Craft Lager and West Coast Pale, @cidersmiths craft cider and @porterhousebrewco plain porter are superb examples of how good a core beer and cider range can be!! #wine #wineoclock #wine #frenchwine #craftbeer #swindon #cider #craftcider #porter #stout #rewind #whitewine #drinkbetterwine #thisisswindon #oldtown #thisisoldtown #swindependent #thetuppenny #thetuppennyswindon (at The Tuppenny)

You may or may not have noticed, but we’re trying to up our game a bit here at Tuppenny HQ. We don’t want to just bring you great beers, we want to bring you outstanding beers. We’re working really closely with our suppliers and Brewing friends and keeping our beer radar honed in to the newest, freshest brews from the most respected and revered grainsmiths, not just in the U.K. but beyond. This is one of them! Brighton’s @lostfoundabl R27 TRIo.J NEIPA is an absolute masterwork of Brewing. A gloriously hazy NE style, juicy, fruity, heaps of mango, lychee, sweet tangerine. On the nose is ripe Brie, foam banana sweets and things I just can’t put my finger (or should that be nose) on. Super rich mouth feel, without ever getting cloying. With an ABV of only 5.4%, this is one that can be drunk by the pint! This one won’t be on for long so get in quick boys and girls 😋 big love xx (at The Tuppenny)

Think you don’t like lager eh hoppy pale ale types?? You’re missing out!! Let this hazy little lady convince you otherwise! Richly textured in the mouth, richly flavoured. Great hop to malt balance. An absolute masterwork of a new wave craft lager for those boffins in white coats at @londonbeerlab #craftbeer #craftlager #londonbeerlab #swindon #thetuppenny #thisisswindon #oldtown #thisisoldtown #swindependent #coldharbour #coldharbourlane (at The Tuppenny)

Got some absolute smashers in the fridge this week! From @redchurchbrewer a gorgeous Berliner Weisse. A super juicy pale from those Huddersfield Wizards, @magicrockbrewing. And the pièce de résistance, @wildbeerco ‘s Winey Beest. An imp stout brewed last year, then barrel aged for 9 months in ex Burgundy Pinot Noir barrels. The most richly flavoured imp stout I’ve ever tasted. Off. The. Chain. #craftbeer #ipa #berlinerweisse #wildbeerco #magicrockbrewing #imperialstout #swindon #thetuppenny #oldtown #thisisswindon #thisisoldtown #beertoshare #swindependent (at The Tuppenny)

Oh it’s just that time Phil Jupitus dropped by for a couple of after show beers with his mates Paul Putner (aka The Curious Orange and loads of other brilliant telly stuff) and Dave Gregory (XTC/Tin Spirits guitarists and general rock royalty).

Ooh-er missus!! That’s a blonde bombshell if I ever saw one!! Voted the Best Beer In The World at the 2008 Chicago world beer championships, Delirum Tremens from Belgium’s Brouwerij Huyghe, is a strong golden blond that garners it’s unique flavour from the use of three different yeasts. The result is a finish of peppery bitterness without ever being aggressive. A real privilege to have this in the tap. An absolute must for any beer enthusiast! #craftbeer #swindon #thetuppenny #thisisswindon #thisisoldtown #oldtown #swindependent #delirumtremens @delirium_brewery
