What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[Hazelwood Brewery]

difference between an array of American and British hops is?
Hops are different but they can't be that different.
Before you rant, I buy, on average more UK hops because that's what the recipes I make call for.

I think the point was the beers were pretty much of one style rather than say an IPA, Bitter, Stout, Pilsner,….

Cool.
Speaking of "Bitter," I still have to do one of those. Old Ales? Oh, boy! The one I made wasn't that much different than an imperial stout.

Yeah, old ale is strong - but maybe not quite as strong or roasty as an Impy.

I made a Gale's Old Ale clone. Wish I had the original as we know that clones are what they are.
Nothing's going to compare though to the Thomas Hardy ale I had the pleasure to drink. That recipe and process should be worth about $20M.

Now 10 days in the bottle, what a difference 3 days makes, ordinary bitter, nothing ordinary about ordinary bitter. If I could only make one type of beer this would be it. Easy drinking session beer, improved head retention and good lacing, low carbonation with good mouthfeel and flavour. Same again landlord.

I haven't had to do this yet, but something similar is to report the debit card "lost." That cleans the slate, gets rid of the bric-a-bra, though you have to contact the legit places to keep the show on the road.

Done that before David! Those blasted companies aren't getting my money when I've decided I'm done lol

The last beer in the Beer52 box is not one I’ve been looking forward to, a strawberry milkshake IPA.

Yep, kitchen sink for you my friend.

Ugh it's not even pink! How rude!

I’m starting with one or two cans of Faith tonight after brewing a Tripel this morning and spending the afternoon at the sea-side, with the obligatory fish & chips of course. The pier at Herne Bay was once very long (1.5Km) but the centre section was destroyed in the late 70’s by a storm. The picture on the right is of the stranded end of the pier taken from what is now the end of the pier.

It’s Friday thank the lord
Having an Irish ipa from the white hag brewery while making a stir fry waiting on my wife getting in from work. Then it’s sofa beer and sleep in that order.

Nice view and little micropub

First beer of the weekend is my first commercial Altbier. I have brewed one so it was nice to compare. Lovely crisp malty ale, good level of bitterness and a little spicy flavour. MK2 Altbier is being brewed in a couple of months.

 

[Donegal john]

Need to brave the storm and go to the brew shed but in the meantime an otterbank mates rates tart session ipa.

Would that be where you store your beer?

Good god no. That's through the door to my left, in the garage where it's all cooled to perfection.

Please excuse the cat paraphernalia, I share my office with the bosses of the establishment.

I've got a cold, not the Rona (which I had mid Jan) but a good old fashioned winter cold. Remember them?

Well, that will teach me to be a smart arse; tested positive for COVID today.

Feel fine, just got cold symptoms. Time for an ale!

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

I can’t have one yet, as we’re on the way to Tesco to grab a few, & pick up my son and co at the same time

I wonder what delights I’ll find today in there. Will report back in a bit!

Hope it goes away quick for you.

Same..... and when I say 'suffering' . . . . . the side effects from my first *** were worse and I've had worse hangovers.
