First taste of my English IPA... undecided...

On to a lovely West coaster

Grainstore Brewery - Rutland Beast in my local Spoons. Really rather good.
Happy Friday Folks!

A week ago I was fossicking in freezing cold weather and snow. Now I am sitting in my back yard in a sultry 27C waiting for a storm to hit while having an ice cold Bohemian Pils followed by my IPA, great hop bitterness which lasts.

 

[Chippy_Tea]

A landlord and 1698 to start tonight had some over from last weekend.

 

[Clint]

You need to brew some beer Chippy_Tea!

 

[Scrattajack]

Made with Lallemand's Farmhouse yeast, the one without the diastatic properties normally found in saison yeasts. Pretty good, drier than I'd expected though.

 

[Leon103]

A rosemary and simcoe ipa next

SWMBO'D made a 'freezer bits of left red meat' pie tonight and I mined out some old Bluestone brewery Hammer Stone bottles.
Went very well together, lively pours though - they should have been consumed before May '21 mind you.
4.5% cascade and chinook IPA, "Made in Wales".

Had my first bottle of this year's Fuller's vintage ale.

Very nice on first tasting.

I buy a few bottles each year. One to drink straight away, one to drink in 6-12 months' time, one for the father in law, and one to save for my daughter's 18th.

I hope the latter will either be a something we can share when she's 18, or (looking at some of the prices) she can sell.

She's coming up for 2 with a December birthday, so 3 bottles in, but something I want to continue.

I've put a photo of us and note from each year so far inside the box so even if she doesn't like the beer I hope it's something she cherishes.

Sounds like a fantastic idea. If she's anything like mine she'll love them! 18 months old and she'll have a sip and say mmmm beer

After giving her a sip I have to down the rest or she'll beg me for more

Painful

 

[Stan's Brew]

This thread just makes me thirsty

 

[jayk34]

This IPA was brewed as a user upper with admiral, brambling cross and citra in boil and keg hop but is so nice that I ordered the ingredients to do it again for Christmas .

 

[531Man]

Last pouring of the casked Mongel ale.
And this is through a coffee filter.
I lie, that's twice through coffee filters.
There is a little more still coming through the first filter from the same pouring, still in the garage, but that will be the very last of it.
Interestingly has some of the same flavours in it, but more-so!
That's hop bittering and burnt barleytwist.
Not the best it's been any more, but still drinkable. So farewell to an old friend, we've seen and been through a lot together.

Hmmmm..see how I feel about it. With no feedback I won't send it if I'm not happy with it.
Got homebrew club next week, see what the others think..

 

[Clint]

I'm now trying,for quality control purposes only, the latest batch of Hazelwood Brewery Bitter.
Blinking heck it's nice..

 

[Leon103]

Went to top up the ipa and the keg kicked. Lucky I have another

 

[dave_77]

Just finished a coffee stout shared by @Leon103 .
Dark ,decent head and you can tell at the bottom the glass that it's crystal clear.
Aroma is toasty and comes across more roasted coffee beans. To me the flavour has light coffee flavours but is more the darkest chocolate with a dark chocolate bitterness. It's smooth with no astringency, very easy drinking at 5.2% .it's medium body with medium carbonation so this makes it really easy drinking. Thanks mate..got the taste for another stout now.

 

[Pennine]

Cleaned the brew up and having an italian pils.
