What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[dave_77]

Pint of my English Pale with Admiral & Target...in the dark. Second night running with a power cut..joke. oh well have a homebrew and order a Kebab. Luckily I have a film downloaded on the tablet

Well I finally have my Belgian Tripel.

It’s already nice (to me!) but is now even more smooth. It’s got a slightly creamy finish too, really nice - I guess this has come from the carbonation?

Moved my MJ AIPA inside 24 hrs ago as it had lost pressure ( due to my drinking and/or the cold )
now it's carbed again and haze has completely cleared

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Another Tripel. Nice.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I really am enjoying this Tripel but I might have (need) a lie-in tomorrow

Wife just asked for a glass too. Not sure if I now love her more or less

You'll have stomach on the chest eating chocolates with it...

Latest brown ale attempt. Tastes ace. Looks sh*t. Just will not clear. Went in to the cornie clear as a bell. Now 88 days old (force carbed) and still a bit murky. I'm rubbish at brewing, lol.

Call it an Amber NEIPA - problem solved!

Taste is trumps.

38 C day today, slaved over a hot stove (air conditioning on) to transform 3.170 Kg of Santa Rosa plums into Spicy Plum Jam.
Put a six pack of Best Bitters in the fridge to celebrate completion, don't usually drink BB's at such a low temperature but made an exception today.
And to top it of my wife says I can call in reinforcements, bless her cotton socks.

Had this Hop Nation Brewery "Karma" from a Beer52 box and loved it. Only 5% and head retention wasn't great but, it's a really creamy oatmeal stout with a heavy mouthfeel really nice aroma. The initial taste is toasted/mocha and the aftertaste is a subtle version of this. If I didn't know I would have definitely put it in the 10% abv+ range such was the experience. A wonderful brew in my opinion and a new favourite. Shared the can with my Mrs who also loved it.

A pint of one of my American Pale Ales. The first sip was a little disappointing so I think it needs longer to condition. It isn’t unpleasant but unlike my Belgian Tripel I’m not already thinking about having another of the same beer.

This is great to know I've got one in the shed, only 2 more weeks to go before it's beer o clock

German Pilsner. It’s quite a nice lager I think. It has that dry cracker malt, light to medium bitterness, mild hop flavour (a little more on the nose), no off-flavours or aromas as far as I can tell - I’m no expert in lagers. Carbonation is good for me but probably a bit light for the style.

I do like this Pilsner but I still prefer my Czech Pilsner flavoured with beautiful Saaz hops.



I should say the beer does have a slight haze because I’m drinking it young. It’s just under 3 weeks out of the fermenter.

With my first ever lager scheduled for the brew after next, I picked up a few lagers in Tesco today, purely for research purposes
This first one is lovely and clean but maybe a bit light - I'd like a bit more maltiness in mine

 

[Covrich]

My Polish boss got me some polish Beers to try for Xmas.

No idea what this is but it looks strong. Normally only drink weekends but didn't this weekend and I'm working from home so sod it!

Might need a lighter one to follow up

That one is delicious. Try a festbier if you want maltier.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

English Pale next. Like the German Pilsner this still has a way to go before it reaches it’s best.

I thought that was the same picture to begin with

Both look good, have you done any lagering to the pilsner?

Photoshop!

Thanks! No, no lagering. It just sits in my brew-shed at 14C and gets chilled as I pour it.
