The first pint will have a lot of the settled sediment so the flavour will not be as clean.
What are you drinking tonight 2024.

That was my thinking, I didn't notice any cloudiness in it so I wasn't sure, but it's certainly improved since.

As I don’t have a dedicated keg fridge in the summer I normally transfer a couple of litres of beer from my 19L Corny into a 2L corny keg using a transfer cable and pop it in the fridge, however this was empty for my second glass so I decided to have the same again this time at ambient temperature (about 13°C) straight from the keg. It’s like drinking too different beers, it’s much softer in flavour with far less bitterness and more fruitiness. Both are nice but this beer clearly works well at higher temperatures.
A pint of my kegged mead, actually this is the third pint, but who's counting?
I'd only had one pint out of the keg so far, it was very good but had a bit of a twang, after @Hazelwood Brewery mentioned about the first draw having a bit of sediment earlier, I thought I'd try it again.
Super crisp and clear now, really nice floral notes coming through, shimmering golden goodness, why on earth have I never kegged mead before?!

I love the tropical England mix from CML

I avoid drinking anything too cold, cold mutes the flavour and retains the CO2, probably why you find the beer softer, lack of carbonation bite so you are not tasting the acid.

Always the same, the last 3 stubbys of Baltic Porter and it is fantastic. Just over two years old, slightly sticky on the lips slightly sweet and lost some of the carbonation just have all the flavours one would look for dark fruit and just starting to oxidise giving off the sherry like flavour. Pity we can't pass on taste with pictures.
A glass of my NEIPA “Afterglow” while brewing a batch of my 49’er Porter.
More of the same because it’s really good, very much like the beers you’d expect to get from the likes of Deya and Verdant.

I’ve never actually tried Rosé before, but on a whim decided to give it a go. In my case a bottle of Château de la Deidière Rosé, Côtes de Provence 2023, described by the wine shop I purchased it from as fresh and fruit forward this at least to me seems rather nice it’s very dry, refreshing with a pleasant after taste. Very much a summer wine but I can genuinely see the appeal of Rosé.
Thought it would be a good idea to come to Anglesey to scatter our old Dogs ashes so here we are with expected 60mph winds and we’ve left the ashes at home

Birthday beer from one of my daughters,
an English IPA from a local brewery.
Sat down listening to some vinyl presents, a few classics from '77 - Low (Bowie), My aim is true (Elvis Costello) , Live and Dangerous (Thin Lizzy) , Sneaking suspicion (Dr. Feelgood).

Love that album, still have it on vinyl, nothing to play it on mind you. One of the best concerts I saw at Sheffield City Hall back in the day. Mentioned on the radio as I drove home from work on Tuesday Phil Lynott would have been 75.
Trying this from Aldi and it’s not bad

Hey, it's my birthday. My hazelnut brown ale just kicked. Fortunately I have a keg of Beamish to soothe the pain. Only two days in the keg and tasting pretty darn nice already.

End of a stressful week, hard rubbish, and booking a train fare from Gatwick to Loughborough then another from Loughborough to Heathrow. Can't believe the prices you guys pay for the train, for £4.50 I can go twice as far here.
Anyway Jamils Bitter tonight, not as good as Poe's Boston Bitter but not too bad.
