Yep, as they were both preprandial.Are you gradually tipping off your chair?!
Gone straight to my head.....
First taste of my Hansel Dunkel. Been in the bottle 10 days and nicely carbed. A head forms but disappears quickly. It lacks a bit of taste at the moment...at only 20 IBU this maybe a bit low on hops for my taste. Naturally this needs more time to mature so it can only get better

SWMBO'D arrived home for her dinner and demanded something alcoholic too.
This has been begging to be drunk for some time .
Local farm hopped cider with local hops.
Yep, just what it says on the tin.
I never have paid much credence to BBE dates, it was fresh and light and tasty and appley.

Saw them IOW 1970 brilliant.
That was before I was born! By a grand total of 3 weeks to be fair
It is just a tad early and at 9.5% this is quite a big beer to start but I’m quite excited to try it.
…actually it isn’t as nice as I’d imagined. The aroma is quite like a Tripel but with grassy hops so maybe the aroma at least is along the lines I might expect from the description on the bottle. The flavour though is a bit odd to me, the hop flavour is grassy and quite harsh - like they’ve used cryo hops maybe? The bitterness doesn’t work for me either it seems to overpower the lovely malty-sweet Belgian beer. I’m a bit disappointed by this one after looking forward to trying it.

Just broke a rule and had a lunchtime pint after comparatively good news at a hospital appointment in Liverpool with a specialist team. On the way to Wales but staying at the Rowton Poplars Hotel just south of Chester for one night. Thoroughly reccomend it and this Spitting Feathers Brainstorm which I suspect derives its flavour from Chinook hops.

This was last night forgot to post. Bought in Scotland when visiting our daughter. Cracking beer. Will have another later.

Had a mini keg delivered today, drinkable enough, just a bit disappointed it's a tad boring and flat
Have you got a keg you can put it into? I’ve done that before, bought a 32-pint box of Sea Fury and kegged it. Nice.
Checking the clarity on my Helles brewed on New Year’s Day, I think I can safely declare it lagered. Driving to Dublin in an hour so the swig from the shooter is all I’m having.
Well that’s a shocker! I knew my American pale was on the point of running out but I thought I might get a pint, maybe two. No such luck, kicked after half a pint.

Kicking of with a Neipa while I cook dinner
A pint of stout, I poured this one a bit better than the last!
I wasn't a big fan either. The original is still the best.It is just a tad early and at 9.5% this is quite a big beer to start but I’m quite excited to try it.

I'll persevere! It's going down well actually despite being a bit underwhelming
Just missing the hops, nothing worse than reading the blurb on a beer about which hops they've used and then not tasting anything!
