What are you drinking tonight 2020.

[Chippy_Tea]

Yep had a 1698, becoming a regular drop at hatton towers, have your tesco altered the offers due to aldi price match?

I haven't a clue, I don't go in supermarkets (or most shops) i hate dithering people blocking the isles etc etc, SWMBO does the shopping i load the car and drive home (she doesn't drive) it works for us and she buys me surprise beers (i haven't had many i wouldn't drink again.)

Down Hackney way, they have changed the offers, some beers have dropped out of the 4 for £6 because aldi have started stocking McEwans champ, and Lidl have started stocking St Austell proper job, used to be easy. a proper job to wet the whistle and a heavy brew to dry it.

yeah I get that, once saw a dad throw his full basket down the aisle, because the son couldn't decide his crisps, he should have taken up ten pin bowling.

First up, Sam Smith's Pale Ale. This is fantastic. I haven't had it in ages, and it really is good. Crystal malt and Sam Smith's yeast, classic ho's ( I'm going to guess at fuggles + late EKG). Yummy yum yum.

I wouldn't mind trying Batemans XXXB have you tried it what are your thoughts?

Serving suggestion: With three malts and three hop varieties, Triple XB is bursting with aroma and flavour. The delicate aroma of biscuit and fruit unleashes a distinctive peppery, fruit flavour which is followed by earthy hops and a dry maltiness

It's my favourite cask ale by a long margin. Has to be well kept. Cracking beer. The glass in the picture was one of the ones they were giving away a couple of years ago when the increased its gravity back to the original 4.7%, if you drank 8 pints. I took one home after a single session with stamps to spare.

Next up, Sam Smith's excellent India Ale. This is how I like my English IPAs. There are a few like this - Shepherd Neam do one for instance. I'm not saying they taste the same , bit they are the same sort of style. Delicious.

That's a full beer in the glass. My wife surprised me with a monstrous beer glass. It holds 2.5 pints. I don't know exactly what I'll do with it yet, but I love it.

 

[NormanHurst]

Northern Monk New World IPA after a few hours drive down the M4. Not the best but very welcome and at 6.2% it is a short cut to the weekend

 

[ChilledGecko]

I’m on my fifth? Fruit shute pale ale.
My current favourite.
Chilling with the love of my life and putting the world to rights, a perfect end to a frustrating day.

Bottle of Owd Rodger and a Kolsh. Both higher ABV than I'm used to so Im calling this a night after two. Up early for a long drive to the lakes. Anyone any good local brewery recommendations?

 

[marshbrewer]

Last one tonight, the fantastic Bateman's Victory. Doesn't really need an introduction this one. Awesome.

 

[DavidDetroit]

bottle of Old Peculier and the two below, happy days.

I know you're a moderator and all, but would it be too much to ask that you take a photo of your beer? The organic experience and all?

 

[DavidDetroit]

I'm going to give you all an award if you'll just mention "HB" in your posts if it's a home brew unless it's obvious.
Yeah, I'm being pretty forward but I've had two beers.

 

[DavidDetroit]

Anyone know of a good clone recipe

I don't know if there's a good clone of that one but perusing the sister site (homebrewtalk) to this one might yield some results. The recipe catalogue is impressive.
cheers.
