What are you drinking tonight 2024.

Shopping in Aldi this afternoon I saw this Madri like beer so bought it. The positive is that it was brewed in Spain unlike Madri. The negative was that it was bland. I won’t buy it again but it was cheap at £1.79 for a 660ml bottle.

The lawns are mowed and the bags are packed, looking forward now to my trip to the Old Dart, I think the next serious drink will be in the Organ Grinder.
Today however the first drink is my Golden Bitter.

The second is Jamils Bitter.

And finally one I haven't had for a while my Milk Stout.

First Erdinger I've ever tried (I think) and I'm pleasantly surprised.

And another rather tasty offering from Erdinger...

I’m likely alone in this one but I honestly like John Smiths, even if it is £3.65 a pint in the pub.

The last time I was in a pub, two quid a pint was fairly common unless it was something fancy, that's inflation for ya!

The last of my non-standard beers before I have a few cans of good old Doom Bar...

Definitely enjoyed this one more than the Erdingers, although they're not remotely alike, but certainly this is more my kinda thing.

Pint of my Rusty Red Rye IPA. It’s coming along nicely now and I think the unintentional addition of the Rye has helped it.

rybinss · Aug 30, 2024

Alastair70 · Aug 30, 2024

Second cocktail, a Corpse Reviver No.2 (Google it). I’m on my own with this one!

Caramel Ox · Aug 30, 2024

Hop heats 2 of 5. CF374. They say Berry and Woody. I think I’d like to try the hop not in a Neipa…a bitter maybe.

Today a Barley Wine BA "Südseefeuer / South Sea Fire"

My brewing friend and I brewed this BW in spring 2023 after a year of planning, finding the recipe, sourcing the cask and the ingredients.

At the Central German Hobby Brewers' Meeting in June 2024, we took 1st place out of all the beers entered.

A Barley Wine is able to literally ‘get the best’ out of wooden barrels, regardless of whether they are brand new or come from different wineries or distilleries. In these cases, it is not just what the barrels previously contained that matters. The wood from which the barrels are made is very important: each type of wood has its very own characteristics, such as porosity and absorbency, not to mention its distinct scent. In this sense, the choice of barrel is similar to the choice of malt, hops or yeast. Wood could be defined as the ‘fifth ingredient’ and has a decisive influence on the flavour characteristics of a beer.

This Barley Wine was brewed by hand with selected ingredients and a special recipe and matured for 210 days in a pre-seasoned Fuji Ron oak barrel.

Brewed by hand, with heart and mind.

Alk. 12.6 vol.%, drinking temp. 15°C
Vintage: 2023, bottle no. 0065
