What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[lupinehorror]

punk IPA and a brandy called insuperable. the brandy bears no UK duty sticker nor ABV. strangely.

So i thought I’d make the most of the bit of sun that’s poking through, so I’m sat in the garden with the hubby and doggy, and we’re having a go at the Blackforest wine today.

It’s a lovely jewelled tone colour and made with Blackforest fruits, blueberries, dark sweet cherries, chocolate extract and vanilla.

I don’t think Wooster minds!

That dark cloud better beggar off sharpish!

Time to celebrate another win with a little Aldi purchase. Nice and refreshing

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

When @dave_77 popped round with a few beers he serruptitiously reached behind his back and pulled out an unmarked bottle. He leant in close and pushed the bottle into my hand. “From Dan” he whispered. At least that’s how I remember it but he may just have given me a bottle from @dan125.

The bottle IS unmarked though and I have no idea what I have here! Having poured it into a glass I see it’s well carbonated, a pale gold colour, and crystal clear with a soft fluffy white head.

The aroma tells me I might be dealing with a lager, it has a dry cracker malt aroma with just a delicate spicy fruity vibe.

The flavour is just like the aroma. It’s clean, it’s delicately fruity and has a subtle spicy note. The malt is definitely Pilsner-like. The finish is well attenuated.

Well, it’s now gone so I’ll end this post by saying this was some sort of lager If this was @dan125 ‘s latest NEIPA, one of us has gone very wrong!

Another M and S one for me whilst I wait for the pulled pork and beef short ribs to get up to temperature. Been challenging conditions for smoking today.

Anyway this one was done for m and s by robinsons and I do like their ales.

Summer Breeze V1 kicked as soon as I pulled on the tap. V2 still going strong!

This Single Hop Citra NEIPA with a Verdant grain bill (inc oats and wheat) and Verdant yeast. its improved a lot from 10 days or so in the keg. Having now done my 1st single hop brew and also recently having done the Citra/Galaxy 'Even Sharks...' recipe from Verdant I'm thinking a Citra/Mosaic/Galaxy combo would be really good. Does anyone have any experience of this hop combo?

Aurora & Saaz Saison 6.4%



I am starting to get the appeal of Saison this was a really simple grain bill (Pilsner and Carapils) hopped with Saaz & Aurora, and fermented with Belle Saison it’s crisp dry with that distinctive taste that goes with a Saison. I don’t have proper temperature control so I suspect it will be Saison and Weissbier that will get me through the summer this year (maybe with a couple,of Kweik pale ales thrown in for variety).

I will post your beer tomorrow, do you fancy a doppelbock or a black IPA.

Bipa please

I’m not an expert on lagers but I think you did a great job mate. Lovely.

 

[Richard_H]

Starting tonight with my final Belgian chocolate dubbel, bloody lovely at over 3 months in the bottle and 7% but for some reason after a month they all had the potential to be bottle bombs (this cap was first vented on Tuesday!)

 

[StJayJay]

Pint of Punk-ish IPA, cheers!

Thanks mate. I think a slightly drier finish would help it along but pretty pleased with it for a first crack at the whip.

 

[Leon103]

Nah, that was the previous WCIPA.
Should have a NEIPA ready for next month's comp if all goes to plan though.

And I know the judge

 

[dave_77]
