What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I’m starting with a stout today because I know there’s only one or two pints left in this keg and I need another couple of kegs for my fermenting beers. I also have a fresh keg of stout waiting to go on tap.

After a morning spent shopping with the wife and a lovely lunch in the pub (I drove as the beer is poor)
Home now to a left hand brewing st vrain triple ale.
Described as an American homage to a Belgian classic its American hops and Belgian yeast.
9.3% is a bit strong for a first beer but I would have had 2 or 3 in the pub if I had went to my choice. So View attachment 56638

Beautiful that brewery is about 20 minutes from my place of residence. I really enjoy their milk stout, sawtooth ale, and ipa especially on draft at the brewery.

Didn't spot your post earlier, pilgrim.

Oatmeal stout off with @moto748 ! This is what home brewing is all about .

So... I think moto748's just nicks it if I'm being truly honest. Mine is well over carbonated (hence the head in the camden glass). Mine has a nice roasty aroma, roasty taste with a fuller body, I'd say moto's is medium bodied, a fruity aroma and flavour and truer I think to what the style should be. That said I'm happy with mine, I'd do it again, with less priming sugar!!

If only I could have put the head from the parsnip on the oatmeal, I reckon I would have had a really good beer!

I was reasonably pleased with mine taste-wise, just a but under-carbed. It is something I try to keep a close eye on. I'd reduced the priming from 2.4 g per bottle to 2.3, but would a what, 4% change really make that much difference? The parsnip is primed at 2.3/2.4, and comes our perfect.

Glad you enjoyed it, anyway.

Something different to try today. It’s very nice.

I described that one as someone put umbongo in a hazy Jane. Wasn’t my cup of tea and I thought it tasted artificial

It’s the only one of their beers I have seen over here and I enjoyed it.

I know what you mean about the um bongo lol - but I like that flavour.

To be honest everything is lacking something and/or disappointing compared to 'Heavy Pop' by Overtone.

Hobgoblin IPA, first time trying it last night, couple left over for today, pretty tasty, on par with proper job and shipyard.

Happy Samhain and cheers everyone.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I managed to get almost another pint before the stout ran out, that’s one more keg freed up and one more required - but I have a week before I need that last keg.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Another nice one. Bit of a novelty but nice all the same. And you can’t complain for the price at the moment in Tesco for a 4 pack. I think it was £6 for 4 x 440ml cans (with the clubcard).

First up tonight, a swig of the trial jar from Irish Red V2. Finished out at 1.010, so ABV bang on target at 4.2%. Colour is a bit light, I think need to narrow the gap on the grain mill a fraction.

First sample of my Schwarzbier after a week in the keg. Nice subtle roast character. Easy drinking lager at 4.9%. think I prefer this to a Czech dark lager, it's a little dryer making more drinkable

Small polypin of the (not very) Czechish pale ale nearly finished, and needed for today's racking procedures.
Pouring disturbed the Lees a little, but opaquenes partly down to being in the fridge until polypinning complete, condensation haze on the glass.
That's my excuse anyway.
Here's another after wiping a bit.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Husband says this is best of the three we’ve had so far, and I agree. A much fuller flavour. And I think slightly more dank than the others. Again, a bargain at £6 for 4.

On a night like tonight it has to be dark, dark mild. Are you ready children? 🕷

Are you going back North or South ? Tuffins in Craven Arms in Shropshire has a good selection of Hobsons real ales in bottles plus many others from around the region & afar ! We moved up here from Cornwall / Devon due to job relocations . St Austell . Proper Job & HSD were staple ! Good Luck in your quest !!

That's interesting as currently in Machynlleth so could check out the Welshpool branch of Tuffins on the way back to Wolves!

If not, then the Charles store in welshpool usually as hobsons
