What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[Clint]

Is that your version of swapping out the kegs on tap!

Well...not quite. We don't use our front room/lounge,call it what you like ,very much as most of our family life revolves around the kitchen/extension seated area/TV room . I find the lounge is a great place to stash a couple of crates for carbonation purposes...now its a bit cooler and that room is warmer and there's lights and a tree in there and a bigger telly Mrs Clint has migrated..

H, you do know they do the 750ml bottle for £5 in tesco?

No, must have a look. Cheers!

I'm with @Clint there.
Only my crates are in the garage.
Yesterday, sorting them out I 'discovered' a whole box of my Golden Delicious clone bottles at the back. Conditioning behind the other remainders, that was brewed in the Summer.
Just before the birthday present Hopcat arrived and distracted me.
As I have found the previous bottles seem to improve vastly with months ageing, I look forward to trying them.
Not tonight though - it's Car club night at The Dering Arms, Pluckley Station.
It's a Goacher's Best Bitter night tonight.
'Bike and train to preserve the driving licence night!
Socially distanced of course, just like last year's totally against their own laws at no.10 "it never happened Christmas party, despite all the damning evidence".
Why wouldn't you believe Alexander de Pfeffel when he is a proven liar and self confessed adulterer? (as seen on BBC's Have I Got News for You, and Ian Hislop hasn't been sued for stating that on-air).

I’m missing my best bitter. I’m just preparing the water to brew some today.

Ah, so by mentioning Best Bitter amongst all that spleen venting has had some benefit!

As will a visit to the Dering Arms no doubt!

 

[chillipickle]

A few stouts are in order this evening, after a day in a not so nice wind!

 

[Donegal john]

I will second that for stout.
quick qc of my latest one with the @Hazelwood Brewery method of hops in the mash lots more hops in the boil and hop stand and it’s a good hoppy American stout. Less bitter than the last time I did it as I only added a small bittering charge. Bit further to go on the conditioning but it will be good for Christmas week.

 

[Donegal john]

Belgian blonde while I’m in the shed. Possibly the clearest it’s going to get but it’s decent so not that bothered.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Half pint of Exmoor Gold, Devon nectar

 

[Donegal john]

Onto a love hate from vocation. Lovely.

 

[Stu's Brews]

Tonight's advent offering is this very tasty Maple Breakfast Stout, probably the best yet. Given it seems to be a special for the calendar, I can see a brew coming on...

Day 8 - Clockwork Tangerine. Yum!

Edit - the hubby says he has seen a Brewdog notification that they’re bringing back the original Elvis Juice. Hope it’s true!

It was £5 but actually came from Sainsbury’s. The Dubbel from Westmalle is good too!

Not sure that’s available in Sainsbury’s here either. Pity. It’s a good beer.

Brewdog advent calendar was Clockwork Tangerine. Quite nice as it isn't too orangey, but wouldn't want more than one. Do brewdog do any dark beers? They have all been a bit samey so far.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

First time we’ve had this. Not too bad I suppose for 99p.
