What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[YeastFace]

Making my way through the St. Feuillien mixed case from Beerwulf.

Made the mistake of deciding to brew a quick ten litres of Irish Red Ale after work, three and a half hours later it’s in the fermentor to cool and I can finally have a beer (I am strongly of the view that alcohol and boiling liquids don’t mix).

Beer wise it’s Salt Tram Double NEIPA 8%

And it’s good really good, I have mostly as of late being drinking mostly 4-6% session ales, and I have forgotten how nice a really hoppy strong beer can be. Also really Like Salt glasses they are just over two thirds of a pint and will take a 440ml can with a little room for the head perfectly I actually ordered the beer from them this time just to get to the free postage threshold on the glass.

After a trip to the vets and a shopping trip to Aldi, we’ve finally arrived home with this. Definitely not slimming today

Trying one of these from Lidl it’s not for me View attachment 57075

No. I have tried it and it's French dressed up as German!

And lastly,
My English Hoppy Pale Ale,
Heavenly,
Honestly, I cannot recommend English "Ernest" hops too much.
Search, buy and try.
English but so New World.
Hukins Hops (the growers) of High Halden, Kent have them.
Because they grow them!

There is a town on the Antrim coast in Northern Ireland by the same name. Is that where it’s from ?

Just says produced for Aldi in Warwickshire.

There’s a mint flavour as well. Didn’t fancy that one.

I guess not.

A hefe now. Really nice and smooth with loads of banana flavours. This is really nice.

 

[Nottsbeer]

Trying a first bottle of a cascade bitter. Been 2 weeks in the bottle, definitely too early. Nice and clear tho. Will have to forget about it for another 3+ weeks. Not much taste yet!;

I'm all too familiar with Ballycastle, but have never seen the liqueur. I'd have to pass through Bushmills to get there, and any of my friends will tell you, I'm incapable of passing by a Bushmills!

After some homebrew and a couple of G 'n' T's, Mrs 70 decided we should have an Old Fashioned.
Mmmmmm

 

[Donegal john]

An erdinger but I have no idea what else it says as my glasses are in the van It’s a wheat beer it has clove and banana going on with a bit of honey and toffee. Werry werry nicceee

 

[Alastair70]

Well, apparently the first ones were too strong. I’ve just bent sent back to the kitchen to have another go. Hangs head in shame….

Oatmeal stout face off Part Deux!

This, courtesy of @pilgrimhudd, is quite different to mine, as the man himself noted upthread. It's noticeably stronger (on paper it's 5% v 4.7%, but feels more to me; I wonder if my calcs are still a bit optimistic. Although I adjusted my spreadsheet after the debate a while back about the right formula to use for calculating ABV). A tasty and enjoyable pint, and I can concur really with pilgrimhudd's earlier comments. This is better carbonated than mine (although mine continues, unsurprisingly, to slowly improve in that respect), and a bit fuller-bodied to match the higher alcohol level.

A fine start to the evening. Nice one!

Wow this was a bit of a find from Aldi; cracker of a black IPA

There was a debate about ABV?

Just back from the fireworks, time for a beer. Belgian pale type of evening.
