Making hay whilst the sun shines with a Theakstons.
Not had one for of these for ages and surprised that it seems quite biscuity for such a pale beer.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Moving on from the bitter, Summer Breeze

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Andromeda IPA with Galaxy hops it’s out of this world.

 

[lupinehorror]

down to the last couple of pints of AIPA in current keg. have it tilted at a jaunty (read: precarious) angle

settles out nicely after the pour.

Hoping my cider making friend won't be too offended that I have used half a bottle of a 2017 Vintage intriguingly called El Cid, to cook this lump of pork belly

My stout makes a beautiful beef stew so why not.

Big hike with the dog today so hoping this helps the knees. Ginger has anti inflammatory properties so I like a ginger beer after a big walk. This batch of Ginger Ninja is still a bit green but wanted to try it.

It's quite sweet and undercarbed so I tested it with the hydrometer to make sure the priming sugar has gone. I hope it ages as well as my others. Slurry from a Wilko Newky kit plus limes, oranges, ginger and the odd carrot that Rudolph didn't eat.

I find bitter works excellently in Yorkshire Puddings (if I wouldn’t drink It then I won’t cook with it either).

As for what I’m drinking Top Dog Stout Clone.

 

[Kellz]

That one was more of a brown ale than an amber and they said it was a Belgian not a good example of either. Try devils backbone from kinnegar to see how it should be done.

Thanks John. I'll get into that ASAP. Kinnegar are a class above the rest of them around here I think.

From Beer52, quite nice, not a million miles off what I brewed myself as a very simple stout, which is reassuring

Tonight Matthew . . . .

I started off with one of my Belgian Tripels, which I am very happy with.

But then surprise, surprise, as it's my birthday week this week, Mrs UKS has arranged a hosted Zoom gin tasting session, so we're going to give this lot a go in about 10 mins. Result!

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I put the idea of stout in my own head so that’s where I’m headed.

 

[BrewMeHappy]

I've got a few lucky dips tonight. Due to a lack of labelling of 3 crates and I have forgotten what's what after moving them, I am going to need to drink a few to figure this out.

 

[chillipickle]

Hahaha, honestly love, i had to do it for research purposes, i only had a couple.

 

[dan125]

The pork belly has come out with some good looking crackling so I'm celebrating with a AUS vs NZ Verdant IPA
Zesty fresh citrus hop character is spot on

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Czech Pilsner next. My lager glasses are too small but this will do until my Pilsner glass arrives.

The Brett must be still working on it. I don't remember the one I had being that carbonated. I seen Steve review
How long did you leave the Brett in before bottling

I added the Brett at bottling in each individual bottle. It was around 2-3ml per bottle of the dregs. I think the gravity at bottling was 1.005.

Dan that looks crackling
