What are you drinking tonight 2020.

[Hazelwood Brewery]

“Manfred” from Time & Tide Brewing. There’s a full parts list for this one: Maris Otter, Pilsner, Flaked barley,Oats, Citra, Equanot, Mosaic, Simcoe, New England yeast. 5%.

Immediately on cracking the can the aroma was amazing. My wife buys a pineapple and mango fruit cordial and this smells just like it - wow! The flavour is really nice but doesn’t quite match the aroma (how could it?). Quite assertive pithy bitterness but not excessive. This is a “juicy” beer and I like it a lot. Maybe give it a try if you’re looking for new inspiration.

You guys buy beer? You clearly don;t brew enough

We brew, we swap, we gift, we buy. Mostly we drink and enjoy.

 

[LesTom]

Enjoying this just now

It's a cracking beer, smooth with plenty of tropical fruit flavours going on

A couple of Erdingers tonight, a kristal and a dunkel

 

[NormanHurst]

An excellent new pale ale from Electric Bear with plenty of Ekuanot... followed by a 75cl Tripel Karmeliet

Cracked open a bottle of loose cannon's bombshell

Is that their new “The tide waits for no one“ ale?

Looks flat...

The Informer, made with John Ford hops. Several months old now, lots of caramel, sweet, really quite nice

That's the one. Picked up a mix case today. It's very good.

Maybe the last for tonight, a “zesty & refreshing triple hopped IPA” with Goldings, Chinook, and Cascade. 4.4% from Curious Brewing.

I used to love Curious IPA but they’ve slowly dropped the % (used to be 6.5% I think).

Still a good beer, but it’s just not quite the same / tasty as it used to be.

 

[HoppingMad]

I’m having my final beer of the evening; a trusty Leffe Brun.

 

[BrewMeHappy]

I popped into Lidl earlier and spotted Slovakian Zlaty Bozant which I have only ever drank in Bratislava. Not a bad beer. Unfortunately i only bought 2 which are now long gone

 

[Benfleet Brewery]

Enjoying a couple of pints of my Dead Phoney Club. Was burst carbonated and left in the shed for a week or so and brought out to the tap yesterday. The PSI had dropped a bit whilst off the gas so was put on again 24 hours ago. Could do with another few days to reach ideal carbonation but tastes good enough for me.

A pallette freshener

I really like Citra on cask, but in the bottle it has a higher level of carbonation so not as good..4 for £6 in Morrison's so can't go wrong and the labels wash off the bottles fairly easily

I must admit I had that last night and poured the last 80ml or so away. I like coffee stout, I like vanilla stout, I like milk stout, I like chocolate stout, but chocolate vanilla coffee milk stout was too much for me. Couldn't even manage my dinner afterwards. Maybe on another day I would enjoy it more. The nitro thing was interesting. I hadn't realised until I opened it. Definitely one to drink chilled.

And to drink after your dinner once your tum is settled. Treat it like a dessert for sure.

 

[Pennine]

I take back my dismissal of this session neipa I brewed a few weeks back. it's turning into greatness. Definitely will do this again and maybe a 20l batch to have on tap.

I’m sampling my kegged beers as I often do at the weekend. On the eighth and starting to feel it a little now. Just three more after this

Edit: Last one now - number 11. This is my English Pale Ale at 4.2%. None bad, most good, Punky (which I’ve still not tipped away) is really the only one I’m not sure about but I’ll keep it until I need the keg - you never know

Here’s a pic of the Pale Ale.

Should I sample the bottles too?
