Almost finished today’s brewday but had to run a couple of errands. Home again now but before I finish the brewday I’m going to sit with a beer - the first pour from a new keg of bitter. Lovely!
I think it’s a completely new recipe. I noticed it a few weeks ago and bought a bottle. Nothing like I remember, and the info on the recipe looks quite different.
Then again, I think they did this with fursty ferret as well, it’s much hoppier than I remember..
NEIPA (!?) next.

First try of my latest best bitter which was a more modern interpretation using slightly modern UK hops Endeavour & Godiva. Easy drinking at 4.1% . Same malt bill as last (Maris/crystal/amber malt). I'm liking this one. Hops give berry, citrus and some spice.
It’s still a bit hazy but I want more so had another go today and added raw oats. I’ll also add more dry hops.Your NEIPA is clearing nicely
I’m having a first taste of the cask version of my Pirate Pale. It’s really too early (only been in the cask a week) but I was wondering if it might be good enough to enter into the CAMRA homebrew competition. The trouble is, the last day for registration is tomorrow and beers have to be sent in by the 20th for judging on the 27th. It doesn’t taste bad but it isn’t properly conditioned yet - could it be in two weeks time? 
Edit: I decided to give it a try, nothing to lose but the postage cost and 2-litres of beer! I also decided to give my Full English bitter a chance to win another CAMRA award as I’ve now entered the competition. I obviously need to give that a taste test too

I’m having a glass of my best bitter now.
Looks like my pseudolager has settled down nicely. No work tomorrow do it would be rude not to.
Cask Pirate Pale now. I think I’ll be drinking this for a while to get past the worst of the hazy beer at the bottom of the keg before bottling some.
Turned out nice after all the rain we had thanks to Cheshire.
Another Pig beer and another really nice one. I’ve been very impressed by them.
Edit you can’t see on the photo so this is Sauber and is their take on a Kristállweizen with a hop twist but no idea what that is.

A throughly mediocre glass of Merlot at Gatwick Airport Premier Inn (I have an early flight tomorrow), ah well.
Hello friends! Thought I would try this from Aldi. It's not bad! 
Nice label, is that a bottle of True Blood that you’re drinking?

When the wine is mediocre, the beer is all kegged larger (and one ‘IPA’) it’s time to go for spirits in this case a Negroni. Not as good as the one I had in Heathrow last month (though four pounds cheaper). Now the question is I have a 7AM flight I plan to be through security by 6AM, is it socially acceptable to have a Negroni at 6 in the morning?
Espresso Martini for breakfast
