What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Last night in Dublin before Crimbo. Tomorrow is an easy half day. Not sure whether to have one more of these or not. What’s the verdict?

..sorry, was that a genuine question?

Just the one tonight. An Omnipollo Noa Pecan Mud Cake Imperial Stout. Decadent.

Onto a schwarzbier from @dave_77. This is really good and easy drinking. Could really get into dark lagers. Best of both worlds.

Is that the one that was in Morrison's?

Another Pilsner for me. This keg is about to kick but I do have another ready to go on tap.

was weaned on OSH but it was on tap or occasionally bottled. I don’t think I’ve ever had a can. It was quite sweet and malty so you’re probably not far off.

Alas, it's a shadow of it's former self now, pasteurised and packaged, it just tastes like any other Greene King beer to me.

Now, in the Moreland days, on cask.... Fantastic.

Checking up on the Exmoor Gold clone..

Brewdog advent calendar day 15: Tropical Hop Pilsner. Easy drinking, quite moreish, lasted about 3 milliseconds due to a thirst caused by putting up IKEA flat pack furniture all night.

How is it?
I’ve got one lined up from a recipe I found on Brewfather.

Yeah I think so, although I bought it somewhere else. Well worth it IMO.

Speaking of Greene King, BJCP craft hipster types; look away now.

A real IPA. In that there is such a thing. Which there isn't.

Bit of chill haze from being kegged in the shed but it's nice and juicy,light floral and a soft bitterness on the finish. For few ingredients it's very nice.

I've tried that in cans,bottles and in the pub and all were on varying scales,dreadful. I'm not a beer snob by any means but I'm not getting that one at all. Not even for what it is.

I wholeheartedly agree, it's a very average bitter at best, even well kept cask. But it is an IPA with real heritage behind it. Just one that's been battered about by time. It does have value in winding up style Nazi's though.

I'm finishing the odds and ends of my birthday beer boxes that various people gave me, so none of them are real gems.

Just finished racking into casks tonight purely for QC testing purposes, tail end of the FV, and then the coffee filtered version.
A brew of 'dialled down' Hoppy Pale Ale of Kent 2 weeks ago, using the new to me Warminster floor malted pale Maris Otter.
Rich, rich, rich!
Hops and malt flavours.
Finished at SG1006, so not sugar sweet.
Still the high end of minerals, I suspect.
I may have to share this for comments.
I'll have to wait for it to condition, settle and totally clear first to tell.
Meanwhile more testing may be required over the next couple of days.

Unbelievable! The keg is empty but still filling my glass

We are slightly bored so cracked open a cider! Well it’s nearly Christmas! Husband only has one more shift to do and then off until early January yay!

Went out to lunch with friends today and had several pints of “Red Top” from a local brewery - The Old Dairy. Not overly impressed with the bottled version but on tap it was lovely. Home now and time for an excitable Saison!
