I like beer. 🍻
Formerly known as RecentlyDrunk. I'm a lapsed home brewer (and CAMRA member), currently spinning vinyl and building a modular synth; although I keep getting distracted by pinhole cameras, home automation and brewing better coffee. Also partial to cycling long distances and the odd bit of tofu…
