What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[Clint]

Corporation vending slop for me tonight.

My first glass of my first witbier called brunchmaster 2000 from the Malt Miller. Brewed on the 18/11/21 very slow to start, Kegged on the 3/12/21, left in the shed for 10 days and carbed over the last 3 days. May need a few more bubbles. This is right up there with one of the best I've done,( I've only done about 15 AG brews and loved them all) If this gets any better with age (if it lasts that long) it may take top spot. Highly recommended, if I'm allowed to recommend as its my first in this style. Cheers

@LesTom That's not from the advent calendar, is it?

No, bought it from a Brewdog bar last week- not my best purchase

Proper Job then some sloe gin to aid some tuneless carolling a bit later

Got a mixed 12 pack from this local brewery, some pretty good and some not so good. This is one of the good ones, I'm amazed by the jammy berry aroma coming from somewhere. I think it must be POP hops?

I’m starting with a pint of Belgian Tripel. Going in a bit hard with a Tripel as a starter but I’ve just got back from shopping so this is medicinal!

Couldn't wait, so 2 days in cask Hoppy Pale Ale of Kent vII.
Hers and Mine for QC purposes.
Rich and fruity, if not yet as clear as I had hoped.
That floor malted Warminster pale Maris Otter sure is rich and......... malty!
SWMBO'D says, "tastes better than it looks".
Not an easy woman to please,
my SWMBO'D!
Is it any surprise to hear that she is a mostly-retired teacher?

Starting with a Tripel!
Tonight could be a short one.

 

[Baldylocks Brewery]

First pint of Foxbat’s house bitter , lovely pint

That QC Hoppy Pale Ale of Kent didn't last long, so to another 'QC' for Christmas family guest's purposes.
My English bitter - I wouldn't like to offer a beer if I wouldn't drink it myself.
SWMBO'D said, "nope don't like it, prefer the rest of the Hoppy Pale Ale of Kent provided I don't have to look at it".

Happy Friday! I’ve got some wine to tidy up first, this one’s from Moldova and is excellent. It’s just under £10 a pop given the origin but is drinking like £15-20 claret. The Wine Society never disappoint.

 

[Jim Brewster]

A subtle sour, really nice for me as its not very sour.

 

[531Man]

First sampling of a freshly broached 10L cask of my version of Exmoor Gold.
Same reason as the 2 preceding beers - QC purposes for others.
This evening, what with the variety, is becoming a bit like a beer festival but at home.

Just back from an early start shopping day in Belfast. I was dragged kicking and screaming around every shop that my wife could think of including one that had a “sale” on and they had dresses and handbags that were still over £1000
So straight in the door and had a few beers while I sort my head out.
also caught up on the beer 52 advent calendar so looking forward to a good few beers tonight. Happy last Friday before the Christmas holidays folks.

dresses and handbags that were still over £1000

I'd be a crummy rich person. I would need a lot, a lot, a lot of convincing and proof that a bag is worth 1K. I saw a t-shirt in a store for $120 a few years back. it was very thin/flimsy. I figured when I looked at the tag, it would be $15 at the most. When I saw the real price, I had to have my wife explain to me how that could even be possible.
Same with big sporting events here--$500, $1000, $2000. Nope. Might pay an arm and a leg for an artistic performance (not a rock concert).
Like I said, I'd be a crummy rich person.

Do you always go for low carbonation ?

Just like me. My wife rushed me out as I kept shouting “ did you see how much that was ??” Lol. Don’t get it. All made from the same material but if it has a DESIGNER label it’s £200
Lots of this crap is made in the same place and branded different and the sheep buy it.

After that Tripel I’m feeling really quite cheery but I’ve got a busy day tomorrow so an evening on the Tripel is maybe not a good idea…

This next. I’m not much of a lager drinker and haven’t really tried that many to be honest but I do quite enjoy a Pilsner Urquell - it’s quite a nice malty beer.
