What are you drinking tonight 2020.

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Sorry am I missing something. Don't people drink punk anymore?

It’s possible someone is missing something - or maybe just greedy?

Had my first ever Mexican craft beer last night(Christmas gift). Not sure I have ever had a Bock before so not sure what a good one taste like. Taste fine, like a brown malty lager.

Found a lonely bottle of bipa in the back of the fridge that needed drinking... lovely and smooth mild roastiness but the hops have fallen off a bit.

Having a Brewdog Lost Lager though does remind me on Kronnenburg 1664.

Enjoying a quiet Neon Raptor Listen to Science NEIPA.

<Borat> Veery Nice! </Borat>

First beer of the day. Another Mexican beer. Lager 4.6% fairly malty like a Vienna Lager
Tasty enough

This is by far the best thing IMO to come out of a beer52 box, 22g/L Enigma and Galaxy hops with London fog yeast

Bottle of malbec for me. Getting the steaks ready

You say Tupelo, I say Tuxedo. A libido, my burrito, no denial: this is noice.

I have to admit I think this one might be the best so far although it's kind of cheating as I might call it more a DIPA. Delicious makes me want to use Jester. Still maybe I liked the Xmas ale a slight bit more. hmmm

Current rankings:
Shepherd and Neame Christmas Ale
Fuller's Vintage Ale
Old Crafty Hen
King Goblin
Old Peculier
McEwans Champion
Fullers ESB
Fullers 1845
Old Tom

Six pints later of my copious supplies...ALL PISSED!

Finally got to try my "tribute" stout that was bottled on the 2nd of October. I'm really chuffed with it and according to my wife it might be the best beer I've ever brewed.

 

[Ajhutch]

Starting with a pint of my latest IPA. Won’t be my last of the day I suspect

Time for another Saison! from @samale

This one pours a nice light yellow with a bit of haze. Aroma is peppery, spicy...cloves and cardamon I am assuming and a bit of banana. Flavour is smooth, light pilsner malt, and spice exactly like the aroma with maybe a bit of cinnamon and black pepper. A hint of bitterness in the end but the spice is much more pronounced and lingers. Mouthfeel is light, carbonation is high and perfect for the style.

Overall this is a very enjoyable spiced saison. I am gonna guess that you might have used a French saison yeast, maybe m29? It seems more peppery and phenolic than bellle saison, but I have been wrong before. Great job on the carbonation I think it's the perfect level and really helps the spice from being overbearing. Also it has a really nice malt backing. The interesting thing is it drinks a bit like a hefeweizen as it's more smooth than the sharp acidity I often get from saisons. I think this helps it all mesh together really well.
Thanks for sending this, I usually don't like spiced beers too much but this one is fabulous, nicely executed.

Too much turkey at lunchtime and having to settle for a short. Regrettably we can only get French whisky here so having to make do with a glass of La Phrog.

 

[Brewnaldo]

Moretti dodnt have enough boxing day bang for buck, so home brew it is. Weissbier specifically
