What are you drinking tonight 2020.

[dave_77]

Fancied trying some other Amber Lagers after recently enjoying Brooklyn lager..don't really like this one..too malty..in a funny way.

I'm going to brew a Czech Amber lager in a month or so.

What did you thinking that. I picked them up a while back. I didn't pick up any hop flavour at all

Alright onto the old crafty hen, this one is really good. Smooth, mellow and nicely balanced.

Don't know what it is..it's a bit too bold in the caramel type flavour. Yeah no Citra or cascade that's obvious. Felt the Brooklyn lager is nice and crisp , more noble hop character and more Munich malty maybe

I think they have one which is meant to have mosiac in it. They must be tight with the hops

Back to my English Pale with Target and Admiral

[Clint]

I'm now trying the saaz SAISON!
It's warmed a bit ..oh yeah!!

 

[alefric LeHendz]

First crack at my keg of pale ale, a bit more bitter than I intended, should have probably reduced the early addition and moved the late to steep. Still a drinkable brew though

 

[Rodcx500z]

We’re entering the home straight now

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

American Pale next.

I have a bottle of broadside, I will keep my eyes out for the others. I think the IPA might be two low of abv as I am only comparing >6% although I might make an exception for riggwelter at 5.9%, I love back sheep brewery.

 

[samale]

A stout I brewed for friends. I held one bottle back to try. It's only coming up on two weeks in the bottle. Needs time, I did try and get them to take something with a quicker turn around

 

[Rodcx500z]

Number one son just gave me this ah well in for a penny it’s a long time since I had one

 

[samale]

Not many beers I would go through the hassle for but this over carbonated dubbel is worth the effort

 

[Clint]

Something out the advent..a Belgian, which was ok.
Now another Hazelwood Brewery bitter..

 

[Tanglefoot]

Another from my local Vale Brewery, Red Kite - a really tasty malty bitter
Not tried this before but will get some more in for sure.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Advent beer before the main event.

 

[Horners]

A treat as an in-betweener.

Is this any good? My lunchtime drinking partner who only ever drinks Guinness found a case of 2008 in his cupboard and gifted me a bottle a couple of Christmases ago. At the time Fullers were knocking it out for £100 a bottle and now cant even find it. Loathe to drink it but Ill probably come in pissed one night and if theres nowt else in....

 

[dave_77]

Last beer of the night. My Belgian IPA/pale Brett bottle conditioned.
