What are you drinking tonight 2020.

[Fuzzy Growler]

A mango gose from local brewery, Electric Bear. Still undecided on the style. I think I prefer fruit Goses with a bigger kick of acid, be it from a more acidic fruit or the brew itself. The saline character is more prominent here. It's very drinkable but not sure it's my cup of fermented malted barley.

Had a few electric bear in the past, decent beers

Pint of shipyard needed after scrubbing the boat, in fact it's my second, first one didn't touch the sides View attachment 29418View attachment 29419View attachment 29420

Looks like someone on the boat found your stash!!

They have been going a few years but have really stepped up their creativity and consistency in last couple. Some really fun brews coming out at the moment.

Started with Arundel Brewery Tarrant Street followed quickly by a Bison Beer See Side APA. Very pleasant.

Err... cheeky carb check on a new batch of Citra ale? This one has been conditioning for a week.

First beer of the night provided by @dan125 . Tasty easy drinking Amber, good looker too nice and clear. I have been told the hops are American, seems to have taken on the profile of something more English

Started off with Bristol Beer Factory Milk Stout and now moved onto Church Hanbrewery Ale X both delightful

Well another one from the cupboard in 'the den' was marked up as Jennings 'ish' March 2014 !

Opened an Electric Bear Coffee Sour as my entree for this evening.
Very nice, not what I was expecting - which is always nice with a new beer.

Coffee sweet whilst still being sour if that makes any sense...
It has thrown quite a yeast which is currently sitting in the bottom of the glass, chewy deserts!

 

[Horners]

A reminder that need to make this my next brew. Mind you 2.50 a bottle a bit steep.

 

[dave_77]

Next up my version of American Amber mk 5 with Mosiac, Citra, Columbus and Simcoe.
Steady the nerves before the Hammers kick off

Incredible isn't it? I don't know where they went. I know it was a 30L batch but it's more like a bitter than an American amber ( hop schedule below)
Maybe the 15% crystal mutes the hops???
I think the take home lesson here is - always dry hop your beers

My attempt at Dusseldorf alt style

I like their coffee sour although it took half the can to decide! Had a few tins since and it actually seems to get better as I develop a taste for it.

My own challenger bitter after 3 weeks in the bottle, it's going down quite nicely if I do say so

Just realised, the pint I downed earlier was 6 years old!!

Tasted fine, plenty of body ..... sell by dates on bottled beers ?

I'm very surprised I didn't really pick up those hops from a whirlpool
