What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[Donegal john]

Lambic next. Wow, I’ve never had one of these before. Super-sour, bone dry and a crazy mix of hop flavours all going on at once. This is a belter.

I have a kreik boon in the fridge. Might try it tomorrow. It’s been there ages.

Hope it tastes as good as it sounds!

I have a formula, sort of, in a completely, non-scientific way.
"Tastes good" is directly proportional to ABV. High ABVs get a lot of forgiveness.

Tester of the usual wf stout. I used the @Hazelwood Brewery method of mash hoping and scaled back the early hops and it’s less bitter than last time. Lots of chocolate and liquorice flavours with a slightly bitter finish.

Hard to beat this is old favourite. Just before you mention @samale, Santa hasn't got me any new glassware yet

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Hammering the drinks tonight but who cares? It’s Friday and nearly Christmas so now then!

I think I’ve gone daft as I’m trying stuff I’d normally dismiss - first speckled hen and now this. Must admit, prefer the speckled hen. Much more flavour than this. I think I prefer maltier stuff. It’s not bad though! And the bottles are pretty!

Lot of love went into buying that glass I’d say.

They also take a lot of maturing which is a pain in the A-hole lol.

Looks good.

Saison! I was influenced by H's drinking a few days back. Heading out to the beer megastore in a bit.

The kids "bought" it when they were younger

Exactly what I thought. Never give it up.

I love stout. Brewing and drinking. Always forgives any mistakes.

Unfortunately my saison is virtually gone, I have somewhere between 2 and pints left I’d say.

Time for a Trappist. It definitively has the billowy white head appropriate to the style (more quiff than Tintin!).

 

[Leon103]

This is a really good American brown. Never brewed one before but this could feature in my spring time schedule.

 

[Alastair70]

Another new style for me, Belgian IPA, this time brewed by @samale. I’m getting lots of complex yeast flavours with peppery phenols leading the field. Definitely not what I’m used to in an IPA, and I really like it. Great brew and thank you.

 

[Applesnmore]

Love brewing's Redneck double IPA. Only been in the bottle 1 week. Nice and happy, will be good when conditioned.

 

[jayk34]

Probably the last for me tonight as I'm hoping to get a brew day tomorrow and brewing with a hangover just leads to more mistakes that take longer to rectify with a cloudy brain.

Brewing drunk is the future.

 

[marshbrewer]

Brewdog advent calendar day 17. Nice but very rich. Perhaps an aperitif beer?

Brewing without a hangover, blasphemy how do you expect to hit your effeciency
