Tyson Fury comes across as an unreliable narrator in this book. Takes very little responsibility for mistakes, and assumes that god wants him to be successful at the expense of others. Yuck. #books #booksky #bskybooks #sport #boxing

A fascinating look at the beginning of the 2nd Trump presidency. Moves really quickly for a political book, despite the obvious detail and research on display. Highly recommend this book. #books #booksky #bskybooks #history #politics

A hoppy brown ale from Evil Mega Corp. Serving suggestion was to drink from the can to hide the unattractive cloudiness! 😂 Tastes great though! #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

One more pastry stout before it gets too warm, this one from Cheeky Monkey. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

Rocky Juice v.16, a bi-annual hazy IIIPA release from Rocky Ridge. Some editions are better than others... but this is one of the best! #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

A slightly strange Polish style, that is apparently a smoked wheat beer... a strange one, but I *think* I like it! #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

"Narrative non-fiction" seemed a strange oxymoron at first, and it took me a while to get into this. But eventually I came around. Tells the story of the Manhattan Project, and some of the women who contributed to it in different ways. #books #booksky #bskybooks #history #biography

Looked west coast, tasted east coast. Not bad at all! #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

Another foray into manga, this time with the first three volumes of Death Note. Excellent premise, and I loved the art. The story was getting convoluted, so I think the further I read the less I would enjoy it... but I enjoyed these very much. #books #booksky #bskybooks #manga

A great strong lager from Evil Mega Corp, while watching the Wallabies lose the Bledisloe Cup for the 23rd consecutive year 😢 #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer #rugby #Wallabies

A fascinating story of some insecure, mostly unimpressive men, struggling to cope with change and a lack of purpose, by @jonronson.bsky.social. I didn't see how it all tied together at first, but it worked in the end. Riveting, and very topical. #books #booksky #bskybooks

Rarely seen in the wild, a dunkelweizen! This one is a little bitter, but I'm happy to go back to it. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

Complete and unabridged is thre only way to read this monstrous Stephen King classic. Still a gripping story, but rereading it as an adult I appreciated the character development as well. #books #booksky #bskybooks #horror

A mango gose from Cheeky Monkey. Not too sweet, this would be a magnificent beer on a warm day #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

Ripple, in Beaconsfield, has produced this really nice, slightly sweet, ESB. Surprisingly good! #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

Not your typical season diary... from a grafter and deep thinker, rather than a superstar. A very relatable read. #books #booksky #bskybooks #sport #cricket

The most ridiculous of beers... a brut IIIIIPA (that's right, that was 5x). 15%, very crisp, magnificently bitter. Possibly the only brut I've ever actually enjoyed! 😂 #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

A rye red IPA from Hop Nation. This is one of the better versions I've had, enjoyed the smooth malts, not overpowered by the sharp rye taste. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

Cooper's Vintage is back for 2026, and this is a good year. Lovely drop. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

Rereading Animal Farm as an adult, and with a better grasp of history, I got a lot more out of it. What an incredible story. This edition from 1954 was picked up in a neighbourhood Buy Nothing group. It's hanging in there, but barely! #books #booksky #bskybooks #classics

It's not clear who this book was for... too focussed on single arguments from debates and essays, and generally dismissive of creationists. I love examining misinformation and how it can be fought, but this isn't the way. #books #booksky #bskybooks #science #religion #evolution

A decent midstrength red ale from Tasmania. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

Artemis has a very familiar style to The Martian (Weir's first book), and though it tries to recreate the same humour and heart, it doesn't get there for me. I'll give him another shot with Project Hail Mary very soon. #books #booksky #bskybooks #scifi

Heading home after the weekend, and stopped in at Kulin... where I was delighted to find an extensive street library just outside the tractor museum! #books #booksky #bskybooks

First beer at a wheatbelt wedding is going down very nicely. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

A really touching book about a convict and his anxious dog, from Melbourne author Michelle Wright. #books #booksky #bskybooks

Freestyle Brewing are the kings of hazy IPAs in Perth. This double oat cream is slightly sweet, and coats the tongue beautifully. In other words, perfect! #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

Rematched Spinal Tap recently, and thoroughly enjoyed it. This book tells the story behind the making of the movie, and helps me appreciate it even more. It hasn't compelled me to see the sequel yet though. #books #booksky #bskybooks #music #humour

I really love a bourbon barrell aged stout... and Sierra Nevada haven't let me down. I haven't had a Narwhal in many years, and I'm glad I came back to it. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

Vintage 90s sci-fi police procedural... saved only by the evangelical police chief protagonist, who was violent, corrupt and immoral. He was the only interesting part of the story, though thoroughly unlikeable. #books #booksky #bskybooks #scifi

Well, they promised me a nitro stout with dark fruit and gingerbread flavours, and they delivered. Easily the most interesting beer I've ever had from Spinifex. This was great. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

Lazy Truffle Pig, a Belgian quad, with truffles, from Evil Mega Corp. The truffles were subtle, but it's a very nice beer! #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

Another of the excellent series of Belgian style beers I've been having recently, this time from Victoria. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

Red IPAs are possibly my favourite style, but not common these days. New local brewery Seabreeze has this absolute classic in its range. A perfect example of the style, I love it. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

Well, I never thought I'd see Nazis and antisemitism making such a comeback, it makes this novel about an orphan in the Warsaw ghetto even more poignant. #books #booksky #bskybooks #WW2

I'm a sucker for sporting memoirs, and this one was fine... but bloated and a little self-serving. I've discovered, for example, that if anything, Ponting was *too much* of a team player. 😂 #books #booksky #bskybooks #sport #cricket

A Russian imperial stout from Bassendean. 11.1%, and magnificent. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

The extreme ends of the city (Mandurah and Mindarie) combine to produce this classic IIPA. Nothing hazy and sweet about this, just sharp grapefruit flavours, and lingering bitterness. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

A very hazy mid from Seeker. Slightly thin, but a beer I'm happy to go back for. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

A collection of newspaper columns from Australian journalist/broadcaster Rochard Glover that was... fine. #books #booksky #bskybooks

Two Metre Tall, from Tasmania, with this magnificent sour. Brilliantly crisp and tart, it was worth waiting the 7 years it spent in a barrell! #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

I wasn't sure I really understood Cali IPAs until now... this is delightful. Turns out I just needed a triple 😉. From Rocky Ridge, in Busselton. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

Re-reading Lord of the Flies for the first time in 30 years, with this vintage 1969 edition from a street library. Starts slow, and I was doubting my memory of it at first, but the 2nd half is riveting. #books #booksky #bskybooks #classics

Artisan and Nail created this fantastic brown ale, with just a hint of Belgian flavour. Glad I have a 2nd can of this! #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

Rocky Ridge, eclectic as always, with 40 different beers on tap. The highlight this time were a raspberry and chocolate white stout, and bourbon barrel aged Dirty Bitch, their annual imperial stout. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

Bryson uses each room in his house to tell the story of the origins of modern life. It didn't all connect clearly at times, but the slow, slightly rambling nature of the book means this doesn't matter. Very interesting! #books #booksky #bskybooks #history

Hogg Culture in Kalamunda have produced this very nice Belgian Dubbel. True to the style, with plenty of malts and fruit. Enjoying it more than I'm enjoying the Wallabies struggle against Japan. 😟 #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

A big IIPA, more pale than expected, but warm and resinous. Reminds me of the peak era of IPAs. It was a simpler time... like when the stupidest thing Trump had done was stare at an eclipse. 😉 #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

A hazy IPA from Evil Mega Corp. Very pleasant, nicely balanced. Though nondescript, which is off brand! #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer

An imperial black pilsner, from Evil Mega Corp. A little smoky, more bitter than expected, this was interesting. #beer #craftbeer #beersky #brewsky #bskybeer
