Wife wants a nitro bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout. Dammit, I’m having one too! This is undoubtably the best imperial I’ve ever made

Butterfly Effect IPA (single). Mosaic used for bittering, as a late addition and in the whirlpool. Citra dry hop in the keg. Second place in the forum competition - you can’t go far wrong with Mosaic in an IPA.

It is! I’m always disappointed they don’t sell them more widely.

I have picked up 2 from arbor from a bottle shop and they are both in stock on arbor's website. unfortunately stock is low so by the time I try them they'll be gone. I have had one of their impys before and it was damn good. I have a couple of my own 'in stock' and i'd say they are better than about 80% of commercial impy's ive tried. De struise blows them out of the water along with new bristol breweries Salted Chocolate Bigger Cinder Toffee Stout.

I intend to open de struise's damnation on xmas day. If you're in Worcester tripelb have de struss on tap as well as duval

Nowhere near Worcester I’m afraid. I had some nice Impys from Thornbridge (the bourbon one is best in my view) and I had a few nice ones from Tempest. I don’t remember trying de struise do will have to look that one up.

I think I have a couple of good Impys - maybe a swap is in order!

An Howl from Firebrand Brewing.

This is lovely.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Cherry Brandy Sour. Could maybe do with a little more carbonation but that’s easily fixed.

 

[Leon103]

Quick first taste of my pilsner before a snowy walk to the pub.

 

[damienair]

Perhaps not a favorite of the PC brigade, but I’m enjoying a lovely Pamela Anderson Ale from a full extract kit from the homebrew company. It is lovely, really nice Ale with just a hint of melons .
A positive of the frosty weather is that I can just pluck the beers from the garage without a need of chilling them in a fridge first.

California Common first, limited options at the moment outside of 8% Belgians

 

[Donegal john]

Loving that, especially as it looks so good and has my (sur)name on it.

Beerhawk advent calendar day

5 and it's a cracker of a wheat beer - dry and sharp just how I like them.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Czech Pilsner. So cold my fingers almost stick to the glass. Perfect for this weather!

An now for tonight's beer.
One I made 29/04'21.
It was a quart (Imperial!) of attempted Homage to Golden Delicious (Burton Bridge Brewery).
Well, it's not totally dissimilar. It is pale golden!
Unfortunately it STILL gushed.
So it all needed coffee filtering.
The most impressive feature, apart from being quite drinkable, is that liveliness in an old screw-top orange rubber washered bottle.
see above and below:

I know!

 

[Agentgonzo]

The Christmas edition

 

[Agentgonzo]

Some of the bottles I didn't buy. Yes, that is a jeroboam of westmalle!
And magnums of most other ones

 

[Clint]

Day 6 of my Beerhawk advent and it's a big no - it's thin, oily, flat and a bit of a weird taste
