What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[jayk34]

A belated birthday drink. Saving my birthday drinks until Saturday when I'm off work ! Dry Stout V2 3 weeks in bottle. The original GH version was excellent and this slightly modified version is just getting better.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Tonight I’m going to start with a pint of mild. The first sip is a bit like a baby dry stout but after a couple of sips it takes on it’s own character.

Hi H, that reminds me of chesters dark mild from my youth

I love this Belgian Pale. Crisp easy drinking dry pale hopped with Celia & Motueka.

I struggled to find any at all in the shops, it seems to have fallen out of favour.

 

[Rodcx500z]

Chesters dark mild was brewed by whitbread, finding a recipe is eluding me at the moment

After a couple of pints of mild, time for a treat. This is a 6% Bretted Lemondrop Saison from @dave_77

It’s the third time I’ve had it and the Bret character is beautiful so I’ll not be saying too much more. It’s well carbed, good head, crystal clear, tasty, tasty, tasty.

A load of pesky wabbits for tonight

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Not had one of these before but someone (unknown) brought one to the family BBQ and left it behind.

Not sure about the smell

Be brave, try it…

My new last drink of the day…

 

[marshbrewer]

I'm drinking an alcohol free beer, which is also yeast, hops, sugar and malt free.
aka another night on the water

These two strong beers slipped down nicely last night. Fullers Golden Pride on the left is a mighty 8.5% ABV, which I would describe as raw alcohol cleverly disguised as beer, and St Austell’s Tribute XXtra at 6.8% ABV, a special beer brewed in memory of their Head Brewer, Roger Ryman.

Roger joined the firm in 1999, the year of the total solar eclipse over the West Country, and his one-off brew ‘Who Put Out The Lights?’ was so popular it became their flagship ‘Tribute’. They do a Christmas version called ‘Tribute Extra’ at 5.2% which is excellent, and I only found out about this supercharged version when contacting the brewery about Rye malt. In for a penny in for a pound, I bought a case of a dozen bottles as I’m currently out of my own beer.

I've drunk many of these in the past! Best served ice cold on a hot day with a view of the Aegean within two feet of a plate of Calamari. If any of those elements are missing, I suspect the enjoyment levels drop somewhat!

First try of the cml Irish red ale kit for QC it’s very good and strong with an alcoholic bite but that’s my fault I was 6 points over on og it was my second brew in the brewzilla and it is still very young, would I brew it again yes I would I am going to order one when I get home from my holiday

I’m guessing someone bought a few after a holiday and only then realised their mistake!

I’m starting with an English Bitter at the bar. Feel very much at home here!

 

[NormanHurst]

My most recent Vienna APA. Brewed late June (I think). Some hope fade on the nose but still good. Might not quite hang on for this months competition but will keep an eye on it.

 

[Rodcx500z]

Having another just to make sure yep it,s good

 

[Tanglefoot]

Another beer from the Wye Valley Meadery, Golden Hour.
Pleasantly zesty golden ale with subtle honey aroma.

Another English Bitter. For colleagues in Kent who don’t know, there’s a beer festival in Maidstone next weekend at Kent Life. Tickets MUST be pre-booked, £13. I’m going on Saturday, see you there
