Very nice

Sounds spot on to me

Supplying and wiring. It was mutually beneficial. Bartering has been around for millennium

Do ye aye ?
Not sure if the going rate. And if you feel they are family it may be hard to part.

All joking a side it's great to see someone local pushing the boundaries. Most go down the same route. Irish Red ale, stout, pale ale.
Keep me posted

Not usually a big fan of NEIPA but this one from Lacada was a cracker. Ignore Michelle Heaton doing Xmas hits in the background.

It’s a brewery called otterbank. Took over the boghopper brewery in muff. He also brews under yellowbelly from Wexford. Has a load of barrels like Pinot noir mescal brandy port and tequila to age beers in. Lots of good things to come that are not the normal run of the mill beers.

I met Declan a few years back when they were show casing a few brews from Yellowbelly in the Blackbird as we were there for a meet for the Maiden City Brewers.He knows his stuff and a civil spud

Cahoots

That looks a meal in a glass.
I drink wines with lower abv's

Neon Raptor is one of my go to suppliers.
I've a few of their Twerking Turkeys lined up for Christmas Day
Sweet cherry, cranberry and plum lasse gose. Should be a winner!

Let us know how the Centaur Army pans out!

They released the centaur army last year and for a lot of us on the instagram craft beer blogs rated it our best stout of the year so I've big hopes for it this year, it was 14% last year.
They are a great brewery

I need one of these @Hazelwood Brewery Czech pilsner that's my favorite lager style you know.

I put one of these in the post yesterday.

The beer is clear but there’s quite a bit of sediment in the bottom so by the time you get it you’ll need to give it a few days to clear again - or not

While I was trying to come up with a recipe I decided to crack open @samale s verdant NEIPA he kindly sent me. It's a bit earlier than I thought...

Pours a super hazy bright straw color. No oxidation and its a lighter than the picture.
Aroma is a tropical and citrus fruit bowl hoppiness with a nice yeasty dough and malt and maybe some wheat. After swirling it I get a unique woody sharpness to the aroma, not unpleasant just unique like a freshly cut branch, or the smell you get when your are by a wood chipper. It gets stronger and more characteristic as the beer warms too. There is something else there but I can't find a word for it, maybe green bell pepper.

Flavour is hoppy mainly fruity and that same woody character, although it expresses a bit more like a spicy green hop. It's nicely carbonated and the mouthfeel is extremely light on the palate. Bitterness is mild and spicy and lingers a bit. I am not getting very much malt but it backs up the hoppiness and does not taste thin. It leans a bit more to the acidic side I am not sure if that is wheat I am tasting but it has a bit of a wheat twang.

Overall I had no problem finishing this one off. It drank way too easily. It was a flavour and aroma bomb and changes quite dramatically as it warms up. I am not sure if I had this hop before but it reminds me a bit of the descriptions for Sabro. Although I wouldn't be surprised if it was sorachi ace or something too. Í would probably recommend easing off whatever hop it is a bit next time as it definitely overwhelms the palate and I am not sure I could drink two of them in a row. But the overall recipe is nice and easy drinking. I especially like that it didn't drink like a creamy stout like a lot of neipa's do and was more fresh and light.

Thanks for the share! Did you post your recipe? I am very curious about it.

Having my advent beer early today so my palate has a chance to recover before Zoom beers with @dave_77 later

Door 12
Triple ipa from Peninsula (Madrid) @ 10.0%
Quite juicy and smooth but lacking a really big hop aroma.

 

[Pennine]

Continuing the old ale exploration. This one is just ok. A bit heavier on the alcohol and lower on the flavour. The aroma is great.

 

[Fuzzy Growler]

I'm trying to be good, mite give it another half hour before cracking one open

This is the recipe I used from my post
Hazy IPA
5kg extra pale Maris otter
500g wheat
300g torrified wheat
200g porridge oats

100g mosiac, 100 g azacca, 80g el Dorado. All late additions and dry hop.

First time using Verdant IPA yeast.

I am not 100% convinced with this beer. Visually it's stunning, something about it just doesn't suit my palate. It started of with big hits of pineapple and peaches. I just seem to get a strange after taste that I can't really describe. This is my second attempt the first was with London fog. I didn't think the hops stood out on the first attempt.

Huh that’s super interesting about the hops because I would not have guessed those at all. Maybe the mosaic with the green dank hoppy character but the other two are quite a surprise. I wonder if it’s the combination that gives it the unique character?

It’s practically dark now.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I’m starting tonight’s delights with the last of my bottled Citra Pale. ABV is 5.25% and it’s surprisingly still fresh tasting and hoppy after three months in the bottle.

Tonight I am drinking nothing.
