Rest in peace, Scooper. I'm going to miss you brother, you will always be an honorary Womble!
I will be raising a glass of Orval to Simon on Saturday at 5pm at The Rake, I hope those of you in London will join me, lets celebrate someone who was truly a reminder that beer should be fun!
I know the Sheffield Tap are doing something similar, as are a couple of people in North Bar in Leeds so if you're in the vicinity raise a toast to his genius at 5pm and lets be united in being thankful that he was with us at all!
If you're in another part of the world lets hashtag the #scooper at 5pm.
Love, peace and motherfucking chicken grease.

I will be in Brugges but will do my best to find a bar with Orval at the same time
Good man, Gregg.
I regret drinking my last Orval on Monday now, but I'll be picking some up tomorrow and raising one to the Legend at 5:30 in Chester.
A sad loss to everyone.
RIP Scoop.
Will probably be in Popperinge, will raise a Hommel Bier or two...
I am going to try and get to The Rake - have a wedding to get to later but reckon I can squeeze one in.

I'm not sure that I subscribe to the whole "light that burns twice as bright" school of though. I think it's more the case that when you see someone burning at half their potential brightnes, it just feels as though they are around for twice as long as you'd like them to be.
Either way, we've lost a diamond.
I'll get me coat.
Hi Glyn,
Raise a pint for me today if you would.
I never met Simon but I found his blog highly amusing and read it all the time.
So young to go so suddenly.
Prof.
Will do, Prof. :)
