Looks like a few of us have moved onto wine. I found the red version of the lady petrol Mrs70 and a couple of her mates took a liking to when out for lunch last Sunday. Three of them shifted a couple of bottles while I was designated driver. The red is very tasty, I didn’t try the white.

Starting the brewery err garage pack up. Having one of these while I get on with it.

Bad news -the keg kicked, doh!!! Good news - I’ve got a pale from @pilgrimhudd waiting in the wings. Beautiful beer to look at in the glass, good clarity and a tight head that lasted the whole pint. I’ve had this hop combination once before, also from @pilgrimhudd and it’s a winner; blackberry...

Happy Friday folks. Nitro stout, this didn’t even touch the sides, going back to pour another one.

Doh. I’ve done it again🤦‍♂️ Fixed in the edit, and it was a belter😁. At least I’m getting all the 🐓 ups out of the way before the secret Santa draw goes out.

My final swap beer, the blonde from @Twostage Lovely pour, great carbonation and crystal clear. The head didn’t stick around too long, I think this glass has been through the dishwasher which didn’t help. Inviting aroma, complex malts and a bit of spice. The flavour follows, a little caramel...

My favourite by a country mile. AC/DC Mistress For Christmas gets an honourable mention.

Once or twice in 5 years, I could easily survive without it. As the network improves the need for a backup charger is diminishing all the time.

I do things the same way, makes the most sense with my setup and needs.

Have you seen it?? Your description is spot on 😂

Celebrations need bubbles. French 75‘s for the good lady and me, No.1 son is home and is having a limoncello spritz.

Over to the other side of Belfast so not far. It’s a new build so I’ve been able to fit the garage out to be brewery ready 😊

Happy Friday friends, and it is a happy Friday. Looks like our house move is going ahead mid-December. Starting celebrations with a pint of the last ever beer to be brewed in the current pad. 🥳

Yes if you wish, but it’s not compulsory.

@pilgrimhudd next. Lovely looking beer in the glass. Deeper brown than my own and similar to the previous one. Nice carbonation replenishing a long lived head. The aroma has a whiff of alcohol that carries over to the flavour, in a good way. The body and mouthfeel are what you expect from a big...

I had a leak from my nitro setup, but all appears fine now.

Opps it’s from @Twostage. In my defence, I’ve had a very long week, my brain switched off sometime after lunch yesterday.

First beer up is from @Nottsbeer Edit Actually, from @Twostage. Kudos for your dedication to the swap, two versions to choose from👏. I’m going brown with the brown first, basically because the ABV is lower. Lovely hiss on opening, has a little haze when poured. Complex malty aroma. Great...

@Nottsbeer @Twostage Thank-you for the kind reviews. Your comments are very much in line with my thoughts, a dangerously drinkable brew with a complex malt profile and a pleasant touch of ester. I'm limbering up with a pint of nitro stout before tucking into mine.
