What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[Cheshire Cat]

Shame how my beer is not up the standard of those made by Tassie/Ballsover Brewer but they or him never post here.

Is that a cloudy one I can't see it

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Of course my mate and look at previous post

 

[Tanglefoot]

Checking out the Admiral/ EKG bitter I kegged a couple of weeks ago, conditioning nicely.
Makes a nice change from the APA's which have been my go to brew for a while.

 

[Stu's Brews]

Toasting everyone from the forum's successes at the LAB Open with a pint of my English IPA that got an honourable mention.

Massive well done to everyone that placed and particularly to @MickDundee who got a 1st place in class.

Looks spot on

 

[The Baron]

If any of you can remember the "What would you call this beer recipe" thread I posted this is how it ended
A lovely Mild/Roggenbier hybrid that has a nice malty, Rye with a Caramel finish.
Would I brew this again Oh yes.
Savouring this at proper Mild temps so it oozes out the flavour

Back home, this seemed especially fitting.

Thanks. I am also celebrating with a glass of each of my beers - 1st place in the “Pale and Malty Lagers” category Bat Out of Helles and 4th place in “Saison and Wheat beers” White Noise:

Did you get any score on the beers

Did you get any score on the beers

I had to leave early and just about managed to follow the judging livestream back at Gatwick. I don’t think scores or feedback come out until tomorrow at the earliest.

My keg of Summit IPA has finally kicked.

Luckily, I have the Mk II version of this beer fully carved and just needs some conditioning time.

I use loads of Summit both IPA's and my Summer Summit Blonde/Pale as my Lawn mower beer

I quite like it; citrusy but not too new world and overpowering. Works well in British style ales IMHO.

 

[The Baron]

Yes that describes it exactly a nice fruity flavour that does not punch you in the face.
If you like a British style with a little of the tropical taste maybe not quite as much as Summit try the CML Tropical England hop mix its just as I have described but fantastic value at £8.95 for 225g

 

[marshbrewer]

I'll give that a look. I was initially a bit careful with Summit, because of its reputation for onion / garlic notes and just used it as a bittering addition, but this IPA has been a revelation - Summit bittering addition, Northern Brewer at 5 mins then a large (for me) 100g Summit hop stand.

Keen to try it with EKG.

Having a flight, a nice offering. The red ale is especially good.

That's my next brewday, Tropical England. Had a Pale with Jester hops earlier, really nice and subtle flavoured.

Hi Marsh the onion taste I believe has been sorted by the growers I think? I have read somewhere it was to do with the way it was grown and they have found out how to avoid it.
Ps just something I have picked up when surfing
