What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[Alastair70]

Enjoying a pint of Red ale from @Alastair70 .
Attractive looking beer, dark amber/red with a nice fluffy head( still some foam with a 3rd left). Malty caramel aroma, maybe a light roast character.
Flavour follows a similar theme. Some caramel with possibly some drying light chocolate character at the end. Clean fermentation.
Nice easy drinking red that I would happily drink a second. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the kind words @dave_77. I’m rebrewing this with some minor tweaks in a couple of weeks. It’ll hopefully be one of my LAB entries.

Apologies for my recent absence from the bar folks. I’ve been getting kicked in the arse by Covid for the last week. A word to the vaccine hesitant out there, catch yourself the f*** on and get jabbed. I’m only 2 months out from my booster and it’s been horrendous.

My godson bought me a few beers for Christmas and this was one of them. Last time I had this it was 6.5% now it’s 5.1% and extremely bland. It used to be a lovely hoppy bitter beer now it has very little grapefruit aroma and little to no taste.
I havnt bought it since they changed it and thank god I didn’t .View attachment 61009

Hi John i got of those at christmas, it is not a patch on what it was it tasted like the aroma had been injected or along those lines

Found a few bottles of my Raspberry cider in the shed so I reckon it'd be rude not to try one

You know rod that’s exactly what I was thinking. There is an artificial taste to it now like you said as. It used to be full on grapefruit not it’s nearly chemically.

Tonight's starter is a Half and half CES P Ale of Kent.
A good blend.

John it is like it has been added after it was brewed

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Last one this evening. Nicked a shot of the hubby’s Christmas present. Raspberry rum. Blinking nice!

All right that was 15 mins. ago.
To follow will be roast lamb with Claret.
A 2015 p'*** chateau from Majestic France.
Those were the days.
N. B. my full on, no waste decant technique with coffee filter paper.

Started off with a bottle of Mosaic, Citra , Cascade APA

Always had a soft spot for a Newcastle brown ale, want to brew something like this in 2022

Today was a brew day

on my 37 year old Electrim bin which was a marathon and an obstacle course not least because it is fiendishly difficult to maintain a steady mash temp. Anyway did a simple AG English bitter which is chugging the airlock after 4 hours! While clearing up I had a kit beer then a

GK OSH as shown then an AG Citra. As you might imagine they were in ascending order of merit!

 

[micklupulo]

Apologies for two views of my not very attractive utility room!

 

[Applesnmore]

On an Abbot Reserve. A bit too cold, definitely malty, but described as bursting with fruitcake and toffee flavours. Not getting that, May be too cold. Hopefully will come through.

Drunk it slowly, the fruit cake flavour comes through nicely now.

Working outside with some afternoon refreshment, this batch is much better than the one before. Tons of grapefruit.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Watching back to back Round the world in 80 days - I like it. Been enjoying some of these. Another favourite

 

[Nottsbeer]

Parsnip stout.... celebratory pint after watching Forest at the City ground beat Arsenal. Need something to sooth my throat

 

[phildo79]

As is tradition, an imp on my son's birthday. Stumbled upon this just the other day and for the price (<£5), it's very decent. Serious amount of tonk bean flavour.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Errr, yep!
