What are you drinking tonight 2020.

[Banbeer]

Please don’t make me watch the make-up ***!

How do you know we wear make up

 

[marshbrewer]

Drinking Aldis American IPA, which was in the same slot as Aldis Wild Bill IPA in the shelves ( they hadn't even changed the label on the shelf, lol) . Similar beer, drinkable and good value.

Steve mate
I do this to get good discussion

Mission accomplished then I'd say

 

[cushyno]

Oops, accidents do happen if you're not careful. One badly aimed thrust of a hand into a dark cupboard on a wet night, and out popped this bottle.

No choice but to drink it, I suppose.

Gahh! This is past it's best. BBE Jun 2020 the bottle shows. It tastes quite butterscotch, so I'm thinking diacetyl. Does that become accentuated over time?

I don’t think so. It’s just there and likely to stay there if you have it. If it’s diacetyl it will also feel quite slippery on the roof of your mouth.

As a change the BBE on this is 2038!!!
7% lambic. Not had one before and not sure. I get it as I try to make "wild" beer every now and then and much like those want to try more despite the uncertainty...

Two days left, should I take the one bottle of 1999 Qwak???

Maybe oxidation then. It's caramelly with a twang of aftertaste. But there's the smell of butterscotch too.

2038! Sounds like it might be a bit green then! Needs a bit more time to condition, about 10 years should do it!

It's not one of the greatest geuze in the world but it's still a really nice beer. Wish I had one right now actually, but I'll have to make do with my own Orval clone

Making the most of holiday with the in-laws...
Rather be in Spain...

Am I the only one who looks at the BBE when opening a new exciting beer? Lol.
It usually seems to be a year from bottling/canning but occasionally 2 or 3 with higher ABVs

 

[Leon103]

We have a thread called what kit beers are you drinking tonight but not what homebrew are you drinking tonight or what bought beer are you drinking tonight. I've no problem with bought beers but let's separate them from people's homebrew. Anyone can buy a beer from a shop but it's a craft to brew good beer so let's celebrate it.

Create a brew thread for the brew day.

Does this all the time, especially in super markets that often put out beer that's been sat in a warehouse for 6 months

After a few wee Scottish Heavies, a bottle of Newcastle Brown. I saw some in the fridge at my local newsagent and they looked very tempting...

 

[hop-a-long]

I had a very good Italian one tonight at an Italian restaurant in The Hague..
Gjulia Ambrata.

I forgot to take a photo, so you'll have to do with this one from untapped.

All done and tucked away in the fermentation cupboard. Four brews in one day is pretty full-on!

...and to finish off the day, one of my own beers - my Best Bitter.
