What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[Mrhandsome]

Now back home with a few Industry session pale ales from Six Sided Brewery.

Has this the other day, Simcoe & Mandarina Bavaria Pale Ale by @pilgrimhudd

I wasn't quite sure what to expect or what you were going for...

It had a nice crisp bitterness but I didn't get much hop flavour - I'm not sure if that's intentional or if the hops have faded a bit. There was a nice subtle hint of lemon though.

If you handed me a cold glass of this on a hot day and said "here, try this (pseudo) lager" I'd be very happy, even if that wasn't the aim!

I think it would actually work very well if you did it again at lager temps with a lager yeast, but an enjoyable beer nonetheless

Yep, something easy drinking drunk ice cold on a warm day was what I was going for, a pseudo lager probably describes it well. There has been some hop fade, that said it wasnt as hoppy as I thought it might be, I will defo do this again, possibly with a bit more mandarina this time.

Well I could feel my self burning up so a quick trip back to the house for sun tan lotion and well had to stop by the fridge on my way back to the garden (and another bottle ready for next week when my SAISON is ready for bottling).

A Thornbridge NEIPA next. Today the weather is just right and it would have been the perfect day to help @Leon103 judge the American Pales. Feeling soooo chilled right now.

Painted bathroom and chopped logs. Now onto this. First time and will definitely buy it again.

Remember the famous sock aroma from an apa I was given? Well this is the other beer I got given and told to give it a few weeks, it's a kit pilsner, dunno what make. It's really nice, bready aroma, good head well carbed, tasty, I would defo drink this again

, I just need to find out what it is!

Dancing (falling with style) around the garden to Summer Sounds 2021 at the moment. I need to calm myself down before it ends in tears

A nice pale ale next at a more reasonable 4.6%. This is a “3C” (@Clint ‘s recipe). It’s a bit hazy because I’ve started a new keg.

Another one from kinnegar, scraggy bay. Another nice drink.

Can never go wrong with a kinnegar best beer in Donegal. Crossroads (green one) is my personal favourite.

Definitely very good and should have tried them before now. I did see another one in the shop with a lime green label called something like limebuster but didn't byut it

Line burner is blue and it’s possibly the least favourite of mine that they do. But it’s their best seller being lighter hopped.

That could be it, need to get my eyes tested ! Funny enough, Specsavers have been reminding me for weeks about my overdue eyetest.

In my euphoric mood (fuelled by beer and music ) I’ve bought a new 70w Bluetooth speaker and some disposable party ware. BBQ round ours next weekend.

In the meantime, another 3C.

Next up. 8 degrees citra single hop ipa. Nice but not as good compared to the previous 2 kinnegar. Still a thumbs up though. I'm starting to get into these hoppy beers rather than my usual dark beers.

All nice beers. Where did you pick them up. The full Irish is a lovely IPA

A local superValu store. To be honest that was the height of the collection. The rest was the usual harp, tennents, carlsberg, Budweiser, buckfast, etc.
