What are you drinking 2024.

[foxy]

Not getting much chance to post on this thread but tonight I have some free time and a crack at my Foreign Extra Stout, now 18 months in the bottle. Got better body than Charles Atlas, and the 3 litres sour has really immersed itself into the body of the beer.
I do wonder how things came about, finings from a fishes swim bladder? Using up the returned sour beer from the public houses to add to another beer to improve that beer? Why not, a quick boil to kill the bacteria add it to a stout, (wouldn't have worked in anything else) and we have a most wonderful beer.

Flash back to May 20th 2023 'What did you brew today'.
3 litres of wort for souring

Gravity of the wort before the sour was added.

Been far too long since I had one of these, not many better sub 4% beers for me.

Steam Brew - Summer Ale from Lidl over in France.
A light 5.1% (their beers are usually 7-8%). Hazy American ale....easy drinking, if a little thin.
Definitely not bad for 1.39 euros.

I’m on the lash in the Halloween capital of Europe. @samale if you’re in town, I’m the only guy in Derry that’s not in fancy dress.
Had quite a few of these, the Altbier was the stand out in the lineup.

After another Summer Ale and an IPA both Steam Brew

A snifter of aged pineau des charentes

I had a small taste of my latest batch of Czech lager to see how it’s doing - coming on nicely.

Now I fancy something Belgian so I’m having a small glass of my Belgian Dubbel.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

English bitter because that Belgian at 7% went down waaay too quick!

 

[SMP Brewery]

A pint of Timothy Taylor’s Boltmaker with Nobbys Nuts and a very nice pint too.

A drop of the “left-over” wine from making a passion-fruit sauce for our fish dinner.
