What are you drinking tonight 2022?

The last outdoor photo for today. Girls have just left and the sun has dropped below the roofline so it’s turning chilly. Summer Breeze on the other hand is at the perfect temperature

That looks mighty fine my friend. What is a summer breeze. Ipa?

A trusty Spitfire to start with but

j I underestimated the chilling time here in sunny Wales so the second half is back in the fridge!

Yes. Similar to a West Coast IPA but not as bitter.

A Hefe beside the BBQ. Two of my favourite things.

A cat for every bbq

They’re there for the night, waiting for any scraps that come his way!

Back home so time for a pint of Cream Ale.

 

[micklupulo]

Now a Dark Rock Aussie Gold. OK but no more kits for me!

 

[Tanglefoot]

First taste of this American pale ale I kegged yesterday.
Golden promise, Cara Gold and Dark Crystal, bittered with Columbus and late addition, hopstand & dry hop
with Centennial.
Ended up with an extended cold crash as I've been short of time, so clearing nicely already.

This has condition as it was bottled back in May '21, but still the yeast lifted so I had to pour most of it through a coffee filter paper.
Unfortunately the head was left in the cone.
It was made with Admiral and First Gold in the 70 min boil and Saaz and Citra for 10 mins.
Has a waft of Budvar about it, quite light at 4.2%.
Last night was a near total disaster when I opened a (British) quart bottle of the same beer that had a fully sealing internal screw stopper.
After the 'psst' on opening, it paused a second then gushed up out of the top like Old Faithful.
Fortunately I managed to catch most, but not all, as I had the jug ready.
My cries of help for rapid tissues and cloths were thankfully answed by SWMBO'd which saved most of the beer tsunami from flooding over the worktop edge.
Last nights beer wasn't even this evening's beer clear even after the coffee cone filtering,
and I was so traumatised by the events I didn't even want to post the evidence.

Traumatic!

Another Summer Breeze, this time indoors.

Says neipa
Looks and tastes like a east coast ipa. But it’s still a great beer.

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Last nights ale, preferred the Trappist dubbel. Brewing a Czech pilsner atm and trying to resist cracking one open and basking in the sun!

I have a bottle of 1698 in the fridge for later i have never tried the Trappist dubbel.

Maggies Leap this time, and the dog (out of shot) has joined the party too.

Oh aye that glass

 

[marshbrewer]

Hallertau Blanc Maibock.

Condensation on the glass makes it look more cloudy than it is, but still needs longer to condition. This is day 41.

Tastes great.

After a couple of pale ales I am not sure what to have next. I usually like a darker beer towards the end of the night but with the warm weather I fancy something lighter. Will have to raid the fridge of UK bought beers.

On other matter, I have noticed the time of everyone's posts are out. Time is showing about 6 hours in the past.
