What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Raspberry sour, just seems appropriate with this weather.

One of the good things about retirement is that when the weather is good mid-week I can sit outside with a beer. One of the bad things is that with everyone else working I’m on my own

I'd like one too as I can't stop crying and need cheering up, but I've nothing in worth drinking. Hubby says we can go to shop after work though and get some, yay.

Sorry to hear that Tess, I hope the misery is short-lived. Maybe spend the rest of the afternoon making a list of all the beers you’re going to be drinking later - make it a loooooong list.

I quite fancy something different to what I have on tap. I’m starting with this.

I feel for you I really do , wish I had the same problem coming up for my 66th birthday and no chance of retiring any time soon but I love my job and being self employed can still enjoy an afternoon beer in the sun down our allotment when I feel like it .Me and my better half go camping a lot and love your part of the country so may be this summer we will find ourselves down your way and would love to come and keep you company for a sunny afternoon and sample a few beers , and would bring a few bottles of my brews for you to appraise,

Managed to find a couple of these in Tesco for half price, as the cans are slightly dented. Oh well! This one is for Wooster!

No head, no condition and not, but oh so nearly, dropped clear.
Taste, mind you, is great.
It's the blended cask.
Rich, malty, bitter with good flavours of hops.
Have I just described southern ale?
Forgot one thing - about 6%.

 

[Jim Brewster]

A Belgian I did. A touch too much amber at 10% (mistake when weighing out), but it worked out ok

As I'm feeling a bit sensitive about this "FrankenAle", ie possible disapproval here, I feel I have to say that it is far more acceptable with better flavours and likeable than many bought beers I've been served in pubs.
But then again, I made it (them!) so I'm going to be a bit biased.
I still stand by my guns though.
It's a lovely pint!
Cheers!

They’re both nice but different. I find Erdinger very clean, this one has more going on.

That sounds like a grand idea!

That one I find a bit sticky - need to wash my tongue after!

It’s very thick isn’t it and the alcohol is very hot in it. Wouldn’t buy it full price.

I had a pint of 50/50 my brown red ale and bitter and it was very nice. Just starting to get some different styles on the go to get some more ambiguity.

One more drink with tea and then that’s us cooked!
