What are you drinking tonight 2020.

[Fireside Ales Homebrewery]

Looks really nice

Thank you. It was the first time that I have used Weyerman carafa special 2. I would definitely use again. Imparts some lovely cocoa and coffee flavours. Delicious

I'm polishing off a bottle of red wine tonight. Needed finishing.



In the late 80's Newcastle Brown was my go to beer where the cask Bateman's was either not available or of dubious quality. As I was a young un, that meant I was often in clubs and bars where that was the case so I've supped a lot of the stuff over the years. Despite what Heineken claim, I had one recently and it's nothing like it used to be in my opinion. Sam Smith's Nut brown or Maxim's Double Maxim are much more akin to how I remember Newkie.

Looks like I have to try those 2 beers funny cos was looking at Sam smiths mixed case only yesterday

That looks so good I can almost taste it from here. :hat:

I’ll bring you a bottle or four

Their India Ale is worth a try as well if you like English IPA's. And their Imperial Stout. And Taddy Porter.

Nowt last night, nowt tonight.

Getting this week's dry days out the way before the weather starts hotting up.

Total torture with all this good beer on show.

Trying a cheeky sample of my chocolate porter. Brewed this batch 5 weeks ago and I think it is nearly ready to enjoy.
Have a great week all

Looks good mate

Oak Aged Imperial Vanilla Stout from Sweden.
This was 45 minutes of pure slow-sipping pleasure. Eye-wateringly expensive but worth every penny and I may have to go back for another couple. (One for me and one for

my daughter)

The reason I ask is that although I really like a Weissbier I don't brew them often but mine seem to compare very favourable with this....

erdinger, paulinger schneider & sohn or weihenstephener are better

Never heard of these - but looks like they have a good mix of beers, and free delivery over £25!
Let us know what you think

Look what arrived today - yay!



In no particular order I picked up the American Pale. 4.2%, pale and wheat, hops are mosaic, centennial, and citra.



The first thing to say is that I like the glass, clean simple shape and the logo is similarly simple but elegant.

Cracking open the can there is a big hit of fruit on the nose. It pours effervescent and with quite a big white airy head. The head and punchy aroma don’t last a long time in the glass. Flavour is fruity with a pithy backbite, bitterness is not strong, mouthfeel is *really* soft, aftertaste is light bitterness and pithy orange. In the bottom of the glass - my disappointment that it’s all gone!! Time for another...

Looks a nice selection to get through.

Enjoying the last few bottles of my first brew (muntons american style ipa) 3 weeks + in the bottle and surprisingly good.

 

[Beernuts]

Well this is a proper brown ale glad I tracked it down today

glad jjsh told me about these much better than newkie

Just tried my ‘The Range’ lager I brewed earlier in the year.
I’d kegged it but had been unable to chill it down to a sensible level.
I’ve managed to fire up my keezer even though it’s not finished so I thought I’d try what is left of the lager.
Awesome, it’s now what I’d consider to be a ‘proper’ lager.

..... currently on my fifth this evening

 

[Beernuts]

Well moving on to old school beer my second tonight and blinking cracking Sam Smiths Taddy Porter :hat:

The one and only time I had this beer was when I randomly found it in a tiny little bar by the beach in Majorca. After a week of nothing but Estrella it was a godsend.

Just put my Brut IPA at 1°C as it's finished fermenting, it started at 1.060 (I brewed it to 20L instead of 18L) but added 1kg of DME not 600g and it's finished at 1.006, 7.1% ABV it should have been 6.5% ABV, so if I'm talking **** next week (I know, how can you tell) that's the reason
