What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[Alastair70]

Saison's greetings!
Nice bready malt backbone with loads of orange citrus and peppery spice coming through in this one. I really need to start drinking more Belgian beers.

Onto what has become one of my favourites recently.

Belgian single. Down to my last couple of bottles. Will need to get another on soon

Where did you pick that up

 

[Donegal john]

A firm favourite of mine and a really well balanced beer. Hoppy citrusy bitter and lightly malty. Cleanse the pallet before going onto the black beers.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Where to go after a couple of pints of Mild? Trappist Single of course! At the top end for a single at 5.8% and now almost crystal clear.

Wanted a change, so a a pale ale made in May using Admiral, First Gold and EKGs.
Honey, piney resin then..... ?Smoke.
The cedariness certainly grabs your attention.
One to drink in a log cabin in front of a seasoned log open fire after a day out in the snow.
They could have done with this at the Tan Hill Inn last week.

Never fails

@samale I cashed out of Beer52 last month. I had enough loyalty points to get a case of their beers for the cost of postage. I went Belgian.
No.2 is a different beast. Still standard strength, higher carbonation, drier finish. More orange yeast eaters, spice character is less than the first one but still very present. All in all, a better balanced beer and well suited to my Belgian naive palate. I expect the more seasoned drinker would have preferred the first one.
I've got a couple of wits and dubbles to look forward to over the next week or so.

Have never seen that one. The off licence only stocks rustbucket, scraggy bay and the other one with the blue label that is quite offensive

Belgian beers would be my first choice at the minute. Problem is most are high on the abv so you have to go easy

Lime burner (the blue one) nice pale ale but not for me. It’s for the entry level craft beer drinkers.
crossroads is their American ipa and it’s a cracker. 6.2% seek it out

 

[samale]

This is still a nice beer. I see some bad press on here about it but at 2.50 a can its spot on

Go easy ? Like that’s a moto you live by

I know. I'm saving the dubbles for sneaky school night winter warmers.

 

[jayk34]

Another good one.

 

[marshbrewer]

Another from my Marston's birthday boxes; this from the golden ales one. I hadn't realised these guys had been consumed by the Marston's Borg, to be honest. Nice drop.

 

[Donegal john]

Staying with kinnegar but going dark. A vanilla coffee stout. She’s a goodun.
