What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[Leon103]

Onto the pollys now. Not overly hopping. Very well balanced. May go down too quick.

I've had 2 x Coopers Canadian Blondes which I pimped with Mosaic and Citra Hops. It turned out great, really refreshing. Now I'm enjoying a Mango and Passionfruit Sour.

 

[Donegal john]

Great timing, was looking for American Stout recipes, malt bill much the same as what i've been thinking, though might chuck in some special B. Hops i'm looking at Chinook and Centennial.

I went with what I had to use up. The bramling leave a lovely blackberry taste on the back of the bitterness of the magnum. The Zeus add some bittering but are lost against the magnum.

 

[Donegal john]

Saison. Carbed nicely. Lots and lots of yeast character. Spicy and bitter at the same time. Good to go.

 

[Donegal john]

Finishing off with a whisky barrel aged imperial stout. 10% and thick and creamy with the woody peaty burn of a good malt. A nice beer.

Went out to the garage for a lucky dip. I found a 12 box of mystery beers. Turns out to be a lemon and rosemary saison I brewed a year ago. When this was young the rosemary was overpowering. It's actually aged very well, the carbonation is probably to high

They have aimed for the barrel aged market and high abv. Decent price as well, had the porter and red ale

I can't keep up with the judges.
They are slightly drunk.
On the prize winning porter

 

[Eskdale]

Finishing up a brew day and cleaned up decided to try Eskdale's Baltic Porter. I did give fair warning that I wouldn't pull any punches.

Not an easy beer to brew so here we go, poured nice into the glass lovely aroma, molasses and malt, initial sweet taste with a back of the tongue bitterness from the hops. Not knowing the strength realised this is a high ABV beer. Had to sip and savour it, a great example of a Baltic Porter with good lacing and head retention.
I have only made this a couple of times and understand the difficulties in getting this right. A very nice drop. Well done.

Thanks Foxy was confident that you would like it. I am trying to get my dad to install a Fromagerie on his dairy farm. I have never made cheese but would like to. Can't be any harder than making beer, could it?

Emma.

There used to be a cheese making thread on this forum years ago.
You should also ask him to put some cabins up, come trout season they would be full. If the Eskdale pub still does accommodation my boys and I would take the drive up there to do some fishing.

Today cold and wet, cant complain we haven't had any decent rain for months a long neck of my IPA (English)

 

[Dutto]

Pikelets.

……..

Apparently served in Oat cake shops in Stoke on Trent.
Do you come from that way?

Derbyshire tup - just over the border from Notts. Everyone in Lincs seems to think a pikelet is a small fish!

Another favourite of my Mam was a Yorkshire Pudding sprinkled with a bit of sugar and eaten as a desert.

Mam was also famous for her “Jam tomorrow.” remark. Tomorrow never came of course!

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Coming from West Yorkshire we also call them pikelets - more the older generation than mine though. I call them crumpets. My mum was born in 1947 and my dad in 1939.

Totally unrelated but also sometimes laugh at my husband because he doesn't know what 'cowboy time' is! He's from York

My mind is wondering again
Cowboy time

Cowboy time

Not what you think!

Cowboy time is 9:50.

Say ten to ten to ten to ten, over and over again and you'll get it!

It's hilarious when someone asks you the time and you can actually say cowboy time

 

[Jim Brewster]

Haven't seen this before, pretty good

Little pick-me-up after last night late drinking
Sample at 3 weeks lagering of Italian style pils dry hopped with Saphir and Spalt select.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Starting today with a Munich Helles from @Alastair70.

Just a heads up - I had to look up the guidelines for this one as I'm not sure how it's supposed to be. Please excuse my very amateur description.

Alastair's beers never disappoint - we have a medium bodied, malty lager with a slight bitterness and slight spicy hop flavour and aroma. I understand this is exactly to style, and is very tasty. Alastair's beers are always very fresh and much better than commercial examples in my opinion.

The only criticism I could give it was the very slight carbonation it had and lack of head. Obviously the journey can impede this though so not too much of a problem.

My lager hating husband loves it - you've won him over again Alastair!

Thank you for sending - we have really enjoyed it!

A Cornetto IPA .. slightly over carbonated.
