What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Does it all seem Greek to you?

It is!

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I’ll be sending you one of my bottle conditioned hefeweizen’s in the next couple of weeks if that’s ok H.

Of course!

This is the Septum Heretic, I’m guessing they used Nelson in this one.

 

[Rodcx500z]

Trying this a triple not to be sniffed at 9%, it’s very good I like it

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Back at the hotel now because my wife was a bit chilly in the evening breeze. Limited choice here so I’m having a pint of the local Keo in preference to Carlsberg.

Looong few days*, so treating myself to a midweek Hazy Belgian pale (4.7%) courtesy of @dave_77 . It’s been sitting in the fridge patiently for a wee while. First day back in the office for just about 2 years, and realising I’ve missed Radio 4 bracketing my day on the commute.
As to the beer, cor that’s something special ☺ , super pale like a glass of Chenin Blanc: esters and even some bright aldehydes in the aroma and first taste, light carbonation, crisp mouth feel and tastes a lot stronger than 4.7%. There’s a light hoppy bitterness that lingers, light body with green citrus when cold from the fridge, that is masked by a slight sweetness, oh so slight caramel once it's a bit warmer. This really does shine with the aroma right to the end, and breathe out...

One of the things I definitely don’t miss about the NHS was each week I was Director on call.

Thanks for the comments. I'm glad it held up ok after bottling from the keg hope it hit the spot after your busy weekend

Finishing off with this which I think is fitting of another cracking Liverpool win

 

[moto748]

Oatmeal stout Attempt 3 of 3.

Oh yes! That's much more like it!

 

[Pennine]

The last Italian pils from the 4 pack. I will be kegging the one I made tomorrow. Might skip the lagering step on it too, as I did warm ferment it.

It’s pretty dependable. Is that the version with 25g or 50g Fuggles?

What did you do differently that’s made the difference?

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Keo starter and now an Erdinger Weiss. We’re eating at a pan-Asian restaurant tonight and I can’t remember the beers they have, I have a feeling it was Keo? Don’t worry I’ll report back.

 

[moto748]

What did you do differently that’s made the difference?

Just a bit more all round. Maintained the base malt, increased the oats slightly for better mouthfeel, slightly increased the dark malts, and slightly increased the hops. Just around ten percent all round, or something like that. Certainly produced a much better pint.

25g fuggle at 15 minutes.

Opened the Gousto box and forgot I’d ordered this kit. It was free on the Gousto market (added extras section) so it’d be rude not to! It’s so good!

Glad to hear it is actually decent (I had one with this weeks Gousto box and one on next weeks and the two weeks after that am curious how long they will run this promo for).
