What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[Clint]

Just a couple of post decorating snifters as we're up early in the morning and off to York for the Christmas ding dong.
Shirt and pantaloons ironed and there's a load of bacon waiting for pre pi55up sustenance.
We've had a couple of weeks planning over a few beers and curries so it should go like clockwork....

What do you get from the Idaho7?

What do you get from the Idaho7?

A kind of non-descript exotic fruitiness, a little orange pith, and pine. On the can it says tropical and mango.

Thanks I have a pound of it I need to use up, your descriptors sound better than tropical mango actually. I might mix it up with some azaaca and mosaic.

I love the name of that beer - and the idea that you remember drinking it or you might not

Schrödinger's Hangover - why am I so dehydrated when I drank so much last night?

This absolute cracker from 71 Brewing - I must try to source some New Zealand hops to roughly approximate something like this.

 

[Donegal john]

found a few bottles of some kind of beer in the garage. No idea what or from when and it’s slightly oxidised but it smells and tastes lovely. I really have no idea what it is. Love finding beers like this lol

 

[Donegal john]

Sure it’s nearly Christmas.
Nice roast and malt flavours in this. Don’t really get Christmas flavours but it’s a decent brew

 

[YeastFace]

Onto the fourth and last of my Traquair beers, their Vintage Ale (2019 I think).

 

[Donegal john]

A bush de Noel now. This one is a cracker. Winter warmer and at 12% makes sure you know it. Warms the throat and the chest big malty flavours and a burnt sugar aftertaste. A fine beer to end the weekend with

Sorting out my fishing gear for tomorrow, as usual not sure what to target. At the moment roach but hopefully a few spring tench. The beer Golden Bitter first off, only one long neck left after this one.

Next up my Bassish Pale ale clone. Best thing about this for the fishermen is the bi-product, one kilo of flaked corn in the grist makes it a perfect candidate for burley for carp. Being as I 'No sparge' leaves ample amount of sugar in the spent grain. I always freeze a kilo or so of the spent grain to add to the burley (ground bait) the carp love it.

Good tip for ground bait Foxy...I must try that! Makes sense...cooked cereals.

A couple from yesterday that I didn't post. A Saltaire Blond and a Joker IPA whilst making proper caramelised onion gravy to go with lamb chops
