What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[Donegal john]

I want to stay here all day but we can’t as we have lunch booked somewhere else. Time for one more though, so Jim has a pint of E, and I have a juice forsyth. The stout tastes just like a chocolate digestive, and my one is just pure
mango, both sooo good!

Been a while since I had an “E” used to really enjoy them

Spending the voucher that the youngest got for me for mothers day. We are at Love Cheese on Gillygate in York and are having the cheese and wine charcuterie platter. Very nice indeed.

Suns out for a while and it’s nice in a spot in the garden where the breeze can’t get you
Opened a Greg Hughes northern brown ale that’s been in the bottle 4 weeks and it’s very nice clear as a bell. Fuggles are a hop I struggle with as I get really earthy taste from them but they match the maltyness of this.

We’re now in the market cat. Because we live in the sticks we have to get the last bus home which is 5:30, so we have time for this and one more probably. I have a strawberry and hibiscus Gose, and Jim has a cask Jaipur.

 

[Alastair70]

Traditional end to a day in the garden. Helles for Mrs70 and an early sample of my Märzen for me. It tastes amazing; bready malts in abundance, subtle noble hop character, rich creamy mouthfeel, great head that’s lacing the glass and a super clean fermentation. It just needs to clear up a lot, 5 odd weeks to go before LAB entry, and more importantly, April’s HBF comp

Last one now. We’re at The Hop. I’m a little cross as it’s our last one but the husbands looks a bit oxidised. He has the IKAT DDH ipa and I have citra NEIPA junior. Both from Salt. He isn’t bothered but I want to send it back. Uff lol.

 

[Donegal john]

Inside now to watch the grand national and having this. It’s brewed by whitewater brewery for the galgorm hotel.
You have no idea what kind of beer it is until you taste it but it’s a lager
Quite nice for a lager

 

[Donegal john]

Coffee porter next

Me and the family are off to York for my 70th birthday next weekend. We lived there for a year in 2003/4 in St Andrews close, and we loved it. We’ve got the restaurants booked for Friday and Saturday but not the best places to drink. My locals back then were
The Maltings
The Black Swan
The Blue Bell
The Last Drop
can you suggest some other haunts for us after we’ve put the grandkids to bed and found a babysitter?
Thanks
Dave

Going down

too fast today
This “black” ipa is a terrible colour it’s muddy brown but it tastes ok. Not as good as the porter before.

 

[Stu's Brews]

West Coast IPA to kick things off this evening. Think the flavour profile on this has got a bit better with time but definitely lost some of the aroma.

 

[Donegal john]

The missus got a few of these from the free mini bar in the galgorm. Strange thing it is. Flavoured water
It’s for her not me. but 5% !

 

[Tanglefoot]

Just finished mowing the lawn and sat down with a glass of my First Gold IPA.
Not exactly a lawnmower beer at 5.3% but refreshingly bitter at 50 IBU with citrusy floral aroma and biscuity malt.
Could be a nice summer beer, still a while to clear though.

Starting with this beauty

 

[Chippy_Tea]

One of my go to weekend beers in the fridge for later.

Hiya

If you like craft beer I’d suggest Brew York. If not, The Maltings is still an excellent, respectable pub, if you don’t mind the no swearing rule.

The three tuns on coppergate does decent cask beer. The Golden Fleece on pavement is good. The skeleton in the bar is quite novel.

Pavement vaults is quite good.
Apart from that, everywhere we’ve been today are decent places. There’s soo many places!

Hope that helps a little. Ask @Clint too as he knows the crack in York.

Back home and poured a nice beer while we watch Bridgerton.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Been working on my brew/shed again today and made some good progress. I even temporarily put a couple of beers back on tap. This is one of them, saison. Lively pour!

 

[Donegal john]

Classic bitter ipa

If that's the case then cloudwater has damaged it's reputation. Really poor, I had similar of beer 52 on a discounted box which is fair enough. I knew I was buying beer that was past its shelf life.

Nothing to do with Cloudwater unfortunately, although it is their name on it. Typical BD and Tesco contract. Saying that, check, could still be in date but CW don't want anything more to do with BD
