Before this forum changed ownership a few years ago, the owners organised an annual forum meet up for a weekend in a field with tents, masses of food, and of course enough homebrew to sink the Titanic. T'was a good old weekend

We should revive it and have a “Bring a cornie” (or suitable alternative) party!

Not drinking today but I did receive something nice from the monks of Mount St Bernard Abbey.

In the main communal tent there was a temporary self-serve bar built, complete with several taps and beer engines and most people brought cornys, polypins, PBs or bottles. I think your brewshed/bar would be a good replacement

If it’s revived I vote for somewhere central like Cheshire. Somewhere close to motorways and a good rail link and between two major airports.

I think it should be my garden, I won’t have as far to walk then when I fall into my bed!

You’ll need a drink by the time you’ve cycled to Kent!

No that was the nuns

Really interesting advent beer today.
Barrel aged imperial rye from Dot Brew @ 9.2%
Oddly rye isn't listed in the ingredients but it has a very drinkable sweet and sour thing going on, with a faint white wine character.
One of those beers I can't stop sipping trying to fathom.

Probably couldn't be bothered to do the washing up.

Had a Brewdog ClockWork Tangerine from the advent calendar

Followed by a sample of my first try at a stout/porter, not sure which it is technically, I just made up a recipe and mashed 80% Maris Otter and 15% this roasted barley and 5% blended up rolled oats.
Not bad, quite sweet, nice carbonation, pretty happy for a first go.

My English Pale to start the evening

 

[Pennine]

Giving the mcewans a shot. a bit too hoppy and what tastes like fuggles to me, it overwhelms a very nice malt character. Lots of alcohol too.

Shepherd and Neame Christmas Ale - A great combo of pine, spice and malt
King Goblin - Solid
McEwans Champion - has a dirt earthy hop character to me. Similar to 1845 but more malt.
Fullers ESB - Malt extracty and sweet
Fullers 1845 - tried the other half of the bottle and the barnyardiness was there again. hmmm that knocked it down a bit.
Old Tom - unremarkable and heavy on the alcohol
