What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[Leon103]

One week away from towing our van to St David's. That reminds me, I need to do research on hostelries and breweries...

Went there last year. Not far from us. I will check if the beer trailer is still going. They were parked up in the rugby club car park. Selling craft beers from a horse box. Really good selection

I’ve always wanted to put a corny in the caravan somewhere but I think my other half would kill me

The thought had crossed my mind. Though I have a cunning plan...
I've been brewing 24l batches recently, 19l for the corny, with a convenient 5l left over
3x mini kegs filled, conditioned, and ready to stash under the seats. Well done me!

Oooh! That sounds good!

Eldest daughter and I are planning a trip but haven’t set a day yet. Might see you there!

Nice one. I'm amazed you've heard of it.
They don't seem too hot on advertising.

One of the best. Hard to beat this beer and my recent clone attempt will not come close I suspect !!

 

[cushyno]

Last one's a beauty. Boho Pils.

Now I must go pick some salad to go with the fajitas before pouring a pint...

After reading Sirens blog about Californian IPA I was intrigued to try..it's nice but not really what I was expecting..I almost had a Lager coloured West coast bitter piney IPA in mind...nice but nothing amazing.

Apologies for my delayed appearance at the bar and apologies to @pilgrimhudd
I have been a bit poor at drinking some of my guest ales of late and I have had this beer some time.

Tomahawk ipa. A lovely ipa that's hitting the spot after a long day in work.

No worries, glad you enjoyed it, some of them have badly oxidised for some reason so am glad you got a good one.

Next one on the sharing list. Blood orange IPA.

Nice West coast style ipa. Don't see many of those with all the hazies about

The colour of it almost replicates the name, sorry to hear about your fermenter problems, sounds like it was designed by somebody with a lack of engineers logic

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Youngest daughter bought me some beers so I’m going to have two or three of those, this is the first.

 

[Leon103]

Oooh! That sounds good!

This is it.

The posts say there is now a brewery in st David's. Which site are you staying at? We were at whitesands, be careful with an awning the wind can pick up very quickly. Ours came crashing down.

Thanks. I’ll be drinking yours later. I felt mine was lacking a bit of mouthfeel and it’s the first witbier I’ve made that seems to want to clear.

Otherwise happy with it, even if as a competition entry it’s my least favourite of the 4 wits I’ve made.

Here’s my verdict on @Broken Toe witbier. You can see from the picture the colour difference between mine and his - like @Hopsteep earlier on the thread you can see that my wit has started to clear.

It’s nice and refreshing, the orange really comes through well and the tartness from the yeast is more obvious than in mine. I like the mouthfeel a lot (it’s what I’m lacking) and it’s highly carbonated. A very nice beer - a pleasure doing business with you.

I’d be interested to see the differences in our recipes. I mainly disregarded the competition recipe pack and did my own thing - I used the Pilsner malt and the oats but ignored the Munich and subbed out the wheat malt for flaked wheat. The only hops are 8g magnum for 60mins, and I used 30g of orange peel and 10g of crushed coriander seeds for the last 10mins.

My thanks to @Brewnaldo for this Tonka bean stout which is a rich vanilla chocolate magnum taste in a dark sultry stout. Phew that’s one fragrant hit for a starter beer for the evening .

 

[Chippy_Tea]

One of the best. Hard to beat this beer and my recent clone attempt will not come close I suspect !!

Guinness W E Porter and Old Peculier are my go to beers unfortunately the shop in town were out of Guinness porter so i will have to start with an Old Peculier followed by a bishops finger tonight.

(ooh err missus)

Its a tough life.

So out of pure laziness I took the malt bill as sold. But I went rouge with the hops really trying to push the citrus out by using some Magnum to get my ibu and then whirlpool with 25g lemondrop and 10g Cashmere. For the herbs I went with 12g Indian coriander, 7g camomile and then 25g orange peel. All for a 19l batch.

We are on number three now. 330ml cans shared with 2 people don’t last long!
