Based in Bristol, Lost and Grounded Brewers began brewing in the summer of 2016, following a year of preparation. Fascinated by the precision of German brewing and the idiosyncratic nature of Belgain beers, Lost and Grounded have a 25HL brewhouse from Krones, located in Freising, Germany – home of Weihenstephan. Here, the brewhouse includes a traditional lactic acid propagation plant, giving brewers the ability to naturally produce “sour” wort with a special strain of lactic acid bacteria used to naturally...

Automation is becoming more and more normalised in the workplace, to the extent that it is creeping out of the normal industrial areas that it in habits, and making its way into the office space. However, while automation is something which is an accepted part of the industrial workspace, it has to undergo some changes to be of equal use in an office. The needs of an office are different when it comes to automation because the needs of the...

@BenGelblum With Britain's police budgets set to lose £700m a year, amid rising crime, and yet more cuts planned for border forces, parliament today heard of the tragic consequences of less money to fight a growing drug-fuelled gang crime epidemic. Knife crime is not being driven by minors and teenagers. It is being driven by organised criminals exploiting children, arming our young people and fighting turf wars over a £12bn drugs market, Tottenham David Lammy told the House of Commons,...

Feisty Emily Thornberry stood in at PMQs today, for Jeremy Corbyn, with David Lidington standing in for the PM as she in China. Thornberry said that the DUP and Tories were a “coalition of cavemen” because of their opposition to lower the voting age to 16, which all other main parties support. A concern for the Conservative Party is that 16-18 year-olds might be less likely to vote for their party. As the lively debate continued Thornberry said there was...

Thousands of children fall victim to the horrifying new 'bait out' trend that sees their nude pictures shared on social media EVERY DAY, police believe. At least one child from just one small Kent borough every day has their naked selfies posted online, police reveal. And if this worrying trend is similar nationwide, it could mean thousands of kids are being exposed daily. Since the beginning of January over 40 schoolgirls aged between 11 and 17 have reported incidences of...

There was something about the phrase “thoughtless obsolescence” that had got me thinking ahead of To Kill A King’s final tour date at Islington Assembly Hall. The term was used by the band in our pre-gig chat to describe the “lost and unsatisfied” feelings that seem to have become the catchphrase for our current political and sociological climate. It joins a school of ‘obsoletist’ lines like “If half the world's gone mad the other half just don't care” and, my...

A disabled man was Tasered by police and charged with assaulting an officer in a case that collapsed when his mother discovered CCTV of the incident. The autistic man, Paul, who has a mental age of seven, could have been jailed had the trial gone ahead, his mother Margaret says. She obtained CCTV footage from the sheltered accommodating where the then-25-year-old lived, showing a different version of events from those provided by officers. Police were called to the sheltered accommodation...
