What are you drinking tonight 2022?

Trying my competition saison before it goes on Monday. Tastes good but worried about the carbonation unsettling the yeast at the bottom of the bottle

They will most likely only pour 100ml for review and are cognisant of sediment so it hopefully won’t be an issue.

My accidental hazy IPA has now almost totally cleared (crap photo due to condensation). So it's just an IPA.

Dangerously drinkable.

Northern brown ale. Not too bad. Need a little break from figuring out why the new kegs are only pouring foam...

Loving the beer and the socks!

How many judges taste the beer.

How many judges taste the beer.

Depends on the size of the category but often just 2.

…maybe 3 or 4 for best of show.

My tripel next
How can a beer foam on opening but not be over carbonated when poured.

Belgian gnome magic.

Went with a Mexican lager, a bit green but surprisingly good.

Gnomes are nearly bad as clowns.

For the broader audience, the definition of ‘melter’ can be found here. I’m thinking of compiling a big list of potential beer names inspired by my favourite Norn Irish colloquiums.

Dead on

Just finishing off for the evening and realised this hadn't been posted.
An Exmoor of mine.
Well it finished me off anyway.
Night night folks.

Sorry no photos, but tonight I decided to leave my own beer alone and check out some of my recent buys from Lidl. I started with a vanilla chocolate stout, and for me,, it was a bit too much 60% vanilla, 30% chocolate, 10% beer. With some trepidation, I then went for a Hercule Berge Belgian DEIPA., 7.4%. I guess it was fine, but I really don't like strong beers, I always feel they are restricting what I can drink within the limits I feel comfortable with, so they have to be pretty bloody amazing... Well, that's the way I look at it! So in the end I drank about a third of it, and poured the rest away, Which, like I say, doesn't mean it was bad, And then had a look at the two stouts I've got going on. Which are fine, but will be better in another week or two. But oh, that's where I came in, isn't it...?

Best bitter part of the split batch 20 litres fermented with SO4 the other with Liberty Bell this is the Liberty Bell. Not quite sure which I prefer leaning towards the SO4.

You can vote for both in the local elections.

I think you’re right, you need to decompress the polypin regularly. Probably every few hours in fact, y’know, just to be safe.

I was forced to carry out the safety procedure of decompressing the polypin/cubitainer again this lunchtime.
The container was distended with CO2 again.
And that's since I was similarly forced into drawing off some last night too.
I suppose this may cause me to repeat, until it is safely all removed from the container. This could be arduous.

Aye, you’re doing good work there

Keep it up and learn any important lessons for next time (to do the same?).

We are having @DocAnna's Naeb'dy Aboot Red Festbier - love the name!

These are my favourite type of beers - variations of a style that enables you to make it your own, and exactly how I brew myself.

The description on the side of the can is definitely accurate - I get the notes of toasted marshmallow and the hob nobs as you mention Anna. I even get an aftertaste of nougat which is amazing.

The beer is perfectly clear with a light carbonation that doesn't do a disappearing act. I would say it's top end of light-bodied to bottom end of medium. Tastes very clean and is very refreshing. It's very muggy here today and it's going down a treat.

I think the bitterness and sweetness is perfectly balanced. I may be way off - but can I taste saaz hops in it?

I think this is a very well-made lager with lots of flavour up front. We are both loving it.

Thank you for sharing - exceptional as always.

Perfect day for a beer in the sun

Second up for our drinking day is this lovely beer from Northern Monk. To me it tastes like New York or perhaps lemon cheesecake. Yummy.
