What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[Donegal john]

A couple of firsts for me. And a brew dog nitro on special so rude not to

 

[Brewnaldo]

I'll qualify this by saying that I never shy away from criticising my own beer to the point where I may be overly critical, AND, I have just discovered that Guinness from a can is utterly rank... But my own Guinness which was bottled only 2 days ago, is a significantly nicer drink than the real deal. Very pleasing.

Guiness in a can ? Do you mean the Guiness original ? It’s a world away from the draught nitro stuff you get in bars and surger cans. But I remember when it was all you could get (in cans) here before the widget showed up. A generation would shake their heads disapprovingly at you for that. But I agree. Not a nice beer in a can.
Yours looks good though.

I bought it thinking it would be more representative of what I was tryong to copy. In hindsight I should have bought the draught can. Either way, not good at all.

Try the Guiness foreign extra or west indies porter to see how good Guiness can be.

I will say I have had the West Indies Porter and didnt like it, but that was just a taste thing. It had flavour, not like this insipid pisswater

 

[Donegal john]

Ohhhhbthis one is as bitter as the dup.

 

[BridgeBrew]

Myo aipa. With 50g Chinook, 50g Citra dry hop. Lovely.

Tonight whilst in the garage working on my Fermentation fridge, I’m have a couple of cheeky Wherry extract kit pints that I made a few weeks ago. Never had the real thing but certainly like the kit version.

Double punk
A lot smother than punk with a rounded finish and an alcohol bite at the end.
Better than the original

Just got back from my local brewery Iron Pier.
Had a session IPA, American Brown Ale & a Barrel aged /saison blend

One of your beers was brewed in Ellon (I'll have to Google that) and one in Ohio--I'm assuming USA. Interesting. I saw that Brewdog is multinational but there website is glitchy for me so I couldn't nail down exactly what's what.
Edit: Interesting in that a possible export would be feasible.

I have Googled 'Ellon' as I didn't know it either.
It's in sunny Aberdeenshire, Scotland;
The Brew dog brewery tap is TripAdvisor no1 thing to do in Ellon! Looks to have a lovely grey Tolquon castle too.
Looks a lot more pleasant than the only place I know around their, having worked in the papermill at Stoneywood, Dyce 18 miles down the A90.
The River Don is lovely there though.

Just kegged my red rose bitter sample tastes good used hops that were hanging around challenger and Sazz

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

First pour of my Passionfruit Gose. Not quite carbonated yet though.

On first taste I’d say this is the nicest thing I’ve made so far. Really light bodied and refreshing like a lager, but with the fruit, salt and coriander coming through. A really easy sourness too at 3.6 ph and not very bitter at 9 IBU's. That is to style though so all good.

However, I’m really worried about oxidisation. Does anyone think it’s started to oxidise? It looks a hideous colour in the fermenter and it’s slightly darker than it was at first.

I have bought some packaging so I can send a few bottles out so fingers crossed it doesn’t go bad. Holding my pigging breath for this one. It will be so disappointing if after all this effort it fails.

No, it doesn’t look oxidised. As it oxidises it goes from the colour in your glass toward the colour of the beer in your fermenter. The taste also changes from bright flavours to dull muted flavours with an odd off-taste to wet cardboard.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Aw ok. Excellent. I have a bottle reserved for you if you would like one HB.

 

[Donegal john]

A few drinks in the mates house before we head to our first concert in 2 years. Ibiza orchestra. Should be a good night for older ravers.

 

[Leon103]

Something to wash down the Indian.

 

[micklupulo]

Just back from our local in Wales and some Conway Gold and now for a curry and some excellent cheapo German lager.
