What are you drinking tonight 2022?

That looks like a pretty damn fine collection. The difficulty will be choosing.

I have a couple of actual bollekes (after which the beer is now named) so will be having that one first, sat out in the sun. What happens after that is anyone's guess.

PMSL at that word you used! I've no idea what it means but in the context of what I'm thinking it sounds quite funny!

Here's the grown-up bit: Bolleke, the beer formerly known as De Koninck - in a class of its own | The British Guild of Beer Writers

@The-Engineer-That-Brews was kind enough to send me a bottle of his WGV bitter when he saw I was making a WGV smash. So let’s get the negative out of the way the bottle was very tall ensuring when I popped it in the fridge to cool it down ever so slightly I had to put it on the bottom shelf rather than the top with the rest of the beer. As you can probably tell when this is my complaint I am struggling to find anything negative to say.

Beer itself opened with a gentle hiss and was very easy to pour leaving a slight head which lasted right through to the end. Beer has a very nice floral note (hard to describe one of those I know it when I taste it things), with a tad more sweetness than I was expecting but I think it works well. I suspect this isn’t one for everyone but as a fan of floral earthy beers I can safely say I would be extremely happy to receive this in a pub, and I am keeping my fingers crossed my own smash will turn out as nice as this. Thank you for sharing

Thank you very much for your kind words - very much appreciated. It's always a pleasure to share one's brews :hat:
As you say, probably not to everyone's taste but it was an interesting experiment!

So what's the first brew gonna be??

Either a cherry sour or an IPA - but if I do an IPA I'm gonna do a huge batch and bottle some of them for comparison.

Dark(er) Lager 2 of 3...

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Now a Exmoor Gold before the meal

 

[obscure]

CML Oatmeal Stout (5.9%)

I really wish it wasn’t true but this is so much nicer than some of the low ABV stouts I have made it’s smooth although with an underlying bitterness and horribly easy to drink for a beer only just below 6%.

I’m having a Black Dog. Perro ***** is Spanish and it’s actually a Pilsner brewed in Scotland.

Another refreshing beer from Saint Mars Of The Desert. Always highly drinkable beers, shame there web shop is always sold out..I was surprised they could send stock to maltmiller

 

[Donegal john]

First from the cheap beer 52 box and there are 4 of these. As others have said a very poor example. An unfiltered lager.
Drank it though.

A Galaxy SMASH for me, Baileys for my wife.
