What are you drinking tonight 2021?

The sister in-law is round to see the baby so I'm confined to the garden (and shed). Luckily this bad boy was hiding in the homemade coolbox in the shed! View attachment 48947
An overly Wheaty Chinook cascade user upper pale ale. It's quite nice if I don't say so myself!

Looks good, homemade cool box? More info please.

Not had the pleasure (or otherwise) yet. Actually I've only been to Cardigan once since the first lockdown...

On the newer industrial estate.

Mrs76 surprised me yesterday by taking me for a few beers at the Elusive Brewing tap yard

It's a really tiny brewery (actually one of at least four very close to home) situated literally a stone's throw from Siren Craft Brew in the same industrial estate.

I particularly liked the Contraption Pale Ale and the Spellbinder Coffee Porter (although the weather was rather too warm for the latter! )

If you're interested they actually have the recipe for the porter and one or two others on the website.

BBQ lit. All the meal pre done. Time for a beer!

Basically I bought one of those garden storage boxes and lined it with that silver bubble wrap insulation. It keeps the beer from getting too cold in the winter or too hot in the summer. At the minute it's perfect for anything amber to dark, and the pale ales only need about 10 mins in the fridge.

There's two layers of beer in there at the moment!

Next up an Aldi American IPA. Nice toffee malt in this one

 

[Donegal john]

A glass of bitter while I rebuild the back wall of the caravan.

One with the footy. Now wheres my flake...

 

[dave_77]

Have had this Belgian Pale for a while..toasty malt flavours with a subtle Belgian yeast character

 

[Tanglefoot]

Supping a few ESB's while watching the footy.
First bitter I've put in a corny and treated it just like the ones I barrel and sugar primed for natural carbonation
- works a treat

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Starting with a Czech Pilsner because it’s cold. I don’t know what it’s like where you are but I’m showing 27.4C still.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

This beer intrigued me because of the addition of orange peel and coriander. I do like coriander but I think some people might find the coriander a bit much in this ale, it has a strong pepper/floral vibe going on and not a lot else comes through until the end where there is a fairly strong orange zest/pithy finish. I guess you get what it says on the tin but I wonder how many are ready for it!

 

[Horners]

Yep in the brewcave 36c. Happily I'm back from the out laws in Orpington where I arrived with 8 tributes and 12 grolsch. Not sure I did those justice but a small price to pay for being back in my kingdom. Currently can't face addressing fobbing on keezer offerings so a 660 ml bottle of Morretti will have to suffice.

 

[Alastair70]

Sneak preview of my session IPA at the end of brew day clean up, needs another week in keg to carb properly. Big and bitter taste with a dry finish, just what I was looking for. Don’t think I’ll meddle with the grain bill. Getting more simcoe than amarillo on the palate. Will up the Amarillo in the hop stand next time. All in all, happy with it fir a first try at the style.

 

[LesTom]

Thought this too much of a sour for me but it grew on me the more I drank of it.

 

[Leon103]

Still in the caravan. Still drinking the riwaka pale and sabro porter.

 

[samale]

Trying @JFB all the Bret's.

On opening it jumped out of the bottle. Highly carbonated crystal clear, almost the colour of a glass of Chardonnay. Head fizzed away
Brett aroma is mild, this is a lovely drink. Well balanced with a real dry finish.
Thanks for sharing
I will get something out shortly in return

 

[Pennine]

stopped at the local brewpub, pretty cool little place. Had a citiva smash session with a local maltster and a Sabro Neipa. You can probably guess which is which.

Final taste test of my imperial dark Saison. This is going into this month's competition
