What are you drinking 2024.

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I’ve cleaned some kegs and cleaned my beer lines this afternoon and now I’m going to relax with a beer.

I decided on a best bitter from cask. This one has been in the cask just under 7 weeks so probably needs finishing over the next week or two. That’s my green light to brew another beer because it will take that long to ferment. I’ll have to think about what I want to try on cask next

A pint of BFG at the Lych Gates Wolverhampton. I have abandoned Marstons as they have abandoned the historic town brewery!

 

[Druss]

Finished setting everything up for tomorrow's brew day, so it's time for a few beers!

Now a Bates IPA from Little Eaton Brewery.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Same again, only this is the kegged version.

This is a remarkably good Bordeaux for the price, a nice blend of mostly Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Flavour is rich and heavy, with that distinctive taste you get from a wine that has being stored in oak. Look I’m really not very good at describing wines but what I will say is I like this one very much.

Big trembling madness delivery today now it is very difficult to decide which to drink. Hoppy first I guess:

Today our Fränkisch Hell "Alt Bamberg", brewed using the decoction method.
In September 2024, this lager won 2nd place in the competition organised by the German Association of Hobby Brewers.

Starting with these tonight -

A QC of my newest brew.
East Kent Golden ale, named as the basic recipe is the Exmoor one, but the hops are my own grown '24 First Gold.
It's only 14 days old, so obviously not cleared yet.
But the flavour!
Fresh and rich, then golden and rich and long follow on flavour.
Only thing missing is any hoped-for definite hop aroma.

Well this is the Flatish bitter, it now has a different look in a full glass more like a dark mild, it is good and will get better

 

[YeastFace]

Just one more as up early to head to Liverpool for a gig.

I already have a list of about 28 pubs I want to visit, but if anyone has any more recommendations please let me know.

Vault City Mini M*rs Stout

Chocolate, caramel, sweet. A bit nutty. If you like Pastry Stouts you'll enjoy this or its bigger brother.

[LesTom]

Really enjoying this, lovely notes of dark fruits

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

That’s just reminded me, my wife brought me a couple of bottles home today from taking the old lady shopping.

Westerham Spirit of Kent from a minikeg.
Lovely clean and lightly bitter.
So easy to like.
And I do.

 

[damienair]

Trying to cope with the tension of watching Ireland vs New Zealand in the Autumn Internationals with a Festival Razorback IPA. It has matured beautifully and is as nice as any commercial IPA. Really nice. I’ve only two left.

 

[Alastair70]

Just had the second consecutive 10 hour day followed by a second 90 minute Zoom meeting.

I unwound by drinking all of this

While listening to this

And now everything is right in the world again!

Next up my CADB blended ale.
Dropped clear at last, after blending.
Yeup, a remarkably decent beer - luckily.
The bitter definitely brings out the hops in the Camden.
