What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[Alastair70]

I know, I brew a couple of 19l batches each month through the warmer months

I’m expanding my fridge space significantly this weekend, Constantly having a lager on the go pretty much ties up the existing brew fridge. Adding a second larder fridge for cold crashing/lagering/storage means I might stand a chance of being able to start brewing it quicker than I’m drinking it

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

This one next. It isn’t brewed by Branthill Farm (the people that grow the grain) but this beer is sold by them at their brewery ale shop because the beer is brewed using their malt.

This is actually a really nice ale (it was recommended to me by the chap in the shop when I asked which beer he would reach for at the end of the day). The malt flavour is exceptional, it has a lovely baked crust flavour, an almost wheaty character, and a hint of rye. This is giving me ideas! They use Cascade and Fuggles hops which are well balanced but for me the malt is the hero.

Having a pla rad prik! Quite spicy

Moving on to Tap 3, Munich Helles, and a slightly over enthusiastic pour this time. Rebrew of this beer lined up for the weekend if I’ve got the Oktoberfest out of the fermentation fridge, or next weekend if I haven’t.

After something malty…

Tap No.1, my Session IPA. I’d happily pay good money for a pint of this in a pub.

More hoppy goodness

El dorado really is one juicy hop.

 

[Rodcx500z]

A bitter it’s got nice earthy flavours from the hops target and fuggles, head don’t last long but it is a nice beer

 

[Pennine]

Today was a beach day at Wells-next-the-sea. The tide was out and goes out a long way so you probably can’t even see the sea. Even here on the beach I had far better connectivity than at the holiday home!

On the way back we visited a local brewery where I bought a new glass and a selection of beers. The brewery grow and malt their own grain (Maris Otter), I have bought some if we had room in the car but that will have to wait for another day. Most of their grain is exported to California - wish I’d asked which breweries.

A bit further along the same road, this?!

Time to tuck in to one of those beers. This one has bready malt, pine, and citrus flavours. The aroma also has just a hint of malt whisky to it.

Looks like a great trip! Too bad you didn't get any of the malts.

Yum columbus and mosaic together, with a bunch of others. This one went down easy.

and I got the cashmere pale ale bottled too.

I meant to say, I had a bottle of that Hatherwood's Porter from Lidl last night. I didn't like it as much as mine. And I didn't think mine was amazing.

Another weekend camping with the kids. Another mini keg from a nearby brewery... Loose Cannon's Hoppy Gilmore 3.7% summery pale with Target and Lemon Drop hops. Just the ticket.

On our way for a few days break to bushmills. Should add that I'm the passenger ! Never tried this before and it's very refreshing.

 

[Broken Toe]

Thrice as nice NEIPA by @DocAnna.
Magnificent, thick and juicy and no hit of it's actual strength.

Fully tropical explosion when opened and stays until the end.

I would quite happily pay premium for this

Pilsner with tettnang.

 

[Alastair70]

Draining the last of the American Amber keg with a soda stream canister and a party tap, now the kegerator has 3 fullish taps running. Really liked this one, haven’t made my mind up whether to do another one, an Irish red or a hefe for Tap 3 when the Summer Breeze runs out.

Had this before but prefer the off tempo one. Still nice though.
