The Furnace Green Brewer
its 5 o'clock somewhere time for Best Bitter
Forgot to take a picture will do at the weekend when I open another one !
At our youngest daughters while they’ve gone off to a pub quiz night at the local. I picked up a few nice beers on the way.
Think I’ll start with this tasty little number…

They had it in Tesco but I was unsure…next time.

Not as keen on this one, there’s a kind of rubbery quality to the bitterness. Not bad enough to tip but not good enough to buy again.
"Belgian Ale" (v2?) by @pilgrimhudd
I'm happy to say I'm enjoying this a lot more than I was expecting to as I'm generally not much a fan of Belgian beers.
And to be fair I don't get anything obviously Belgian-ey from it!
It's rich, warning and fruity. I immediately got treacle (invert sugar?). And then there's lots of fruity esters, like you get from an English ale yeast but turned up to 11 - I get something similar from Hobgoblin which I don't much like, but the difference here is this beer is nice!
It's not something I'd want to session all evening but I'd happily have another now, and definitely again another day.
Good job mate, thanks for sharing

Glad you like it, also pleased you got the fruity esters, something v1 was lacking, I used s33 in the hope I'd get something from it. And yes lots of invert sugar. I should really send you v1 as they are very different.
This is interesting. I liked the first few sips but now I’m not sure. I like a few Buxton brewery ales but this one might be the exception.
Tea for me. Back at the nuthouse.
Tonight I’m starting with a Summer Breeze for a change. It’s still hoppy and quite aromatic despite fewer hops in the hopstand and no late dry hop. It’s not AS hoppy and aromatic as the previous batch so I will revert to that approach for my next batch.
I’m feeling a bit like that guy sitting on his own at the end of the bar. Never mind, I’m enjoying another Summer Breeze.
