What are you drinking tonight 2020.

[LesTom]

I was tempted to try that one today. Wish I would have picked it up at the shop.

I'm almost shocked that its so good, only £1.59 for a bottle from Lidl. I'll be back to buy some more next week

I’m on the standard Okells MPA tonight, the wife has already crossed over to something claiming to be a Cascadian Dark Ale with Coconut. Smells like a hoppy porter, tastes vaguely of beach holidays, sunburn, and guilt.

Tonight’s pies are Turkey & Trimmings and Beef Curry.

Door 13 brings a fantastic Brett ale @ 7.5%
Lightly sour with a hint of funk, and so dry and drinkable.
Could drink a few of these.

This is an absolutely cracking porter, it's bitter and rich and it's as good a porter as I've ever had.

That reminds me, bought a coffee stout and toffee ale from 'the lidel' the other day, forgot about them!

I have a couple of bottles before my sweet stout. This one will lead.

@pilgrimhudd I have a confession to make. I nailed the Baltic porter you sent me last night. It was near the end of the night so your review reads like this

It was wet, dark and cold. From memory I really enjoyed it and it didn't last very long.

Needed a low Abv easy drinker this evening so my English Pale it is.

Whatcha think? You getting any barn funk? I had something similar in a brown ale I made with homemade brown malt where I roasted some weyemann smoked malt.

Yes, like old dusty beams - I like it.

Evening chaps, sorry I'm late but I have an excuse.
I survived my first ever AG brewing day today
I've set up a thread in the brewing section for those interested.

Anyhoo, a sweet coconut stout from Drygate. Luverly

Started with a brewdog Jackhammer, 7% on a Sunday... who puts these calendars together?.. very good but the hops were all bittering and it seemed to missing some flavour and aroma hops for balance, for my tastes.

Followed by a bit of a session of 2 liters of my Amarillo ale. It's droped very clear over a few weeks. I have normally already finished the batch by this point. The S33 yeast dropped right out nicely. Forgot the abv of this but I think it's about 4%

Tonight I am trying @Pennine hoppy pilsners. Same recipe with two different yeast M76 and 34/70
Slight over carbonation on the 34/70 which kicked the sediment up from the bottom
Aroma: lovely fruit salad from the M76 the 34/70 is a lot lighter on the hop aroma. Some nice malt in the background
Flavour: M76 is very clean with a nice bitterness, nice biscuit malt with a dry finish. Well balanced fruit and malt.
34/70 this tastes like a completely different beer. Flavours are not as well defined. Still a very nice beer with a higher level of bitterness.
Overall: This is a great experience, I can't believe the difference between the two. If I was to pick I would prefer the M76. Both beers were very enjoyable to drink. The M76 let the hops shine more and had a cleaner finish. The carbonation issue with the 34/70 may of played a part.

As always thank you for sharing

What Farm shop do you manage Chris? Is it in Faversham?

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I’m having one of these next, unusual for me.

No not that one. I'm the purchasing manager of a garden centre and part of my role is overseeing and buying for the farm shop, including the local beer and wine. We also stock Canterbury Ales, Curious Brew and Shepherd Neame (of course) and should be doing Wantsum Brewery soon too.
