I've not even seen it. Out of pure nostalgia though, I always get 4 tins of McEewans export whenever I'm at Euston heading up West Coast Mainline to Liverpool or Wigan or Preston or Penrith. In the day it was pretty much all they had in the buffet car and it has stayed with me. #classinaglass
When I was a young lad on an apprenticeship and earning just enough dough to run a car while my mates were at school or college, I used to spend many weekends camping/hiking/drinking around Northumberland/Cumbria/Southern Scotland, and when we loaded my car up with kit on a Friday night there would be at least a couple of four packs of McEwan's Export in the boot for emergencies (i.e. the pubs were closed by the time we got where we were going).
 
Missus has gone to bed so whilst I 'lock up' a cheeky Lambs with coke

Early taste of my American ipa. This was the first time that I threw the wort on top of the yeast cake and turb from an esb and I’m not sure the hops on this one will win through. The esb was done with Nottingham yeast and it seems to have overpowered the hops it’s still very young only 10 days in the bottle and should balance out a bit. It did take off within 2 hours af pitching and was done in 4 days though. I bottled 6 bottles and put the rest in a keg with 5ml of citra aroma oil to see what it adds to the beer. Will see when I tap the keg.

I said Nottingham goes off like a rocket.
I did the same with a brew recently, and it was obviously already actively fermenting in my polypin before I had finished straining the last batch sparge rinsings on top.
Hungry yeast!

Opened one of these to compare against the one I brewed - both me and SWMBO prefer my own Witbier. I'm taking that as a win

So the FIL came round to visit (he lives by himself) and kindly brought me this white wine from 2017 as he doesn’t like whites.

Very very nice wine but at 0.988 it’s way too dry for me. Had to add a teaspoon of sugar to my glass but really enjoying it now!

Today I kegged a beer, I hopped a beer, and I fitted the new fan in it’s bespoke enclosure. Now I’m drowning my sorrows with a Summer Breeze because building that beautiful fan enclosure was a waste of time. The issue is the radiator not the fans, the foil that’s intended to increase surface-area on the radiator is so tight it allows virtually no air-flow through it. Now I need to source a replacement, probably a small car radiator - but not tonight.
