What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Has that glass got a activator in it.

Yes, it’s nucleated. It’s just got a slightly etched pattern on the base.

Next up


This is really interesting. It's called a pilsner but it's bouncing with hops. Motueka and Riwaka new Zealand hops.
It's got the brain going. I have a beer on the boil with cascade and citra. The plan was to add Pia yeast. Could I add Czech pilsner yeast and ferment as a lager

They normally send my homebrew nuts.

That’s what happened with my first pint of German Pilsner. It was like I’d dropped a pack of Mentos in a bottle of coke!

Delivery from Norfolk today - thought I'd remind myself what I'm aiming at. Not as complex as I remember from 15 years ago, but back then it was served from a cask on the bartop in the Cambridge Blue.

Moving along to @Hazelwood Brewery Belgian tripel. This should slow me down.
Pours with low carbonation with a light white head. Golden, again excellent clarity
Aroma, nice sweet malt, with spicy pepper with a bit of orange
Taste again I am getting orange but it changes with each sip. Peppery with light sweetness. Nice bitterness
Over all out of the three beers you sent I am enjoying this the most. No alcohol present at all, lovely Belgian aroma and taste. Drinking your beer makes me start to think about how much carbonation I am putting into my beer. I know you keg but it's food for thought.
Cheers again

That one is dangerous. Easy drinking, beautiful beer, and strong!

On the summer breeze now

 

[Rodcx500z]

This is going down rather well

 

[dad_of_jon]

Nothing as we get our first jabs tomorrow so dry week.

I'll be doing the same when I get mine sometime in March/April- so I'll have to give this thread a miss then

but for tonight a laggy IPA,
life & death
duopolis
a zinnebar
& a david essex

 

[Horners]

Few late night tunes but need to drive first thing. The ghost ship is passable, the Heineken well tastes like the bad bits of Heineken

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

On this hot sunny day I’m resisting the temptation to go straight to a cold Pilsner - don’t want to be predictable

I’m starting with a pint of Not Summer Breeze but I have to say the aroma is not overly inviting, the hop flavours are muted, and there isn’t much of a maltiness to compensate. I might even dump this batch along with what’s left of the suspect malt (about 2Kg).

Any beer I don't fancy I give them to boys in work. No taste puds but if it's free beer then they are happy

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Going for a Saison! now. This is much better.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Enjoyed that saison. A real Summer Breeze next. This is an old batch that needs finishing now, I need the keg for another beer on Thursday. Fortunately(?) I only have about 6 pints left.

 

[stubrewworx]

Whilst my helles is mashing....

West Yorkshire IPA (Sam Smith India clone). 17 days in the bottle, almost cleared. I bottled a little too early and probs over pitched with slurry. Turns out my thermometer was reading too high so my first 5 brews all mashed at closer to 60c, so this v.dry

I need to get a bottle of the original to compare. Its not where I want it to be but....

 

[Jim Brewster]

A Polish "Session IPA"
...6.0%

 

[obscure]

I had a Beer 52 box arrive so am starting off tonight with a Buxton Brewery NarGil described as a Coconut Pastry Stout. It’s not bad, does seem a tad thin compared to what I would have expected and the coconut is quite pronounced. Overall I will be finishing the can but have no great desire to purchase any more of it.

 

[obscure]

Again from my Beer 52 box Bristol Beer Factory’s Espresso Martini Milk Stout

It does actually remind me of an espresso martini, nice coffee flavour and overall decent but I still think that Bristol Beer Factory standard Milk Stout is superior.
