What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[Leon103]

Apart from a small glass of my latest saison, I haven't had a HB beer for a few weeks. Being away and not having a fully functional kegerator as slowed the drinking down. But tonight the wife asked for a beer so I put on the pilsner keg and poured us each one.

It's been off the gas for a while and the change in temp as made it not as carbed as planned.

After doing 18 kits I decided to try a Full Extract Kit. So tonight I sampled one, a Full Extract Citra Pale Ale Kit from the Homebrew Company. It is a lovely brew, I am delighted with the results. Lovely citrus hop aroma and a very definite grapefruit flavour similar to a Pink Grapefruit IPA which I love. Looking forward to enjoying the other 38 x 500ml bottles.

Nice subtle coffee notes in this one.

Starting tonight with an Altbier which seems at last to have cleared - yay!

A mug of tea (I wanted to double check my new boiler actually worked and after boiling a couple of litres of water needed something to do with it)

 

[StoutWolf]

Had this stout earlier, rule seems a bit harsh though!

So I'm disregarding it and cooking some tea whilst drinking this:

I like the beer, and the bottles, but I hate the glue! Happy Friday Folks!

My Chevallier beer tastes good but needs to be colder on a hot day like today

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Czech Pilsner next.

SWMBO found this in Tesco earlier so added it to my usual weekend beers (picture from google images) if it tastes as good as the description it'll a good one.


A limited edition cask beer which proved a huge hit when unveiled by Shepherd Neame last year, is now available to buy in bottle.

New Dawn Citrus IPA was created last May for Cask Club, Shepherd Neame’s contemporary cask ale initiative which sees a new beer released each month.

Brewed with Mandarina hops sourced from the Hallertau region of Germany, New Dawn also has dried sweet orange zest added during the brewing process. It is a straw-coloured beer with a mellow smooth bitterness, hints of orange and a refreshing citrus hit courtesy of the Mandarina hops and orange zest. It offers a sweet, slightly drying palate, and is ideally served lightly chilled.

New Dawn Citrus IPA is now available in a 500ml bottle (5% ABV) from Shepherd Neame’s online shop and from selected Tesco stores nationwide.

Shepherd Neame National Account Manager Amanda Beer said: “With its exciting flavour profile and vibrant look, New Dawn achieved an outstanding national on-trade reach throughout May last year. This success enabled us to present the brand to Tesco, and we are delighted to announce that it has just been listed in 241 Tesco stores nationwide. It is a fantastic beer and we are delighted to make it a permanent part of our range.”

Just had a Witbier

 

[531Man]

When in Croatia............
Described as a hoppy 'lager'.
Well it is certainly hoppy and a pale beer.
Very acceptable.
Baltazar, from the Medvedgad Brewery.

 

[StoutWolf]

Enjoying this now... Good and bitter. I may buy this in preference to the plum porter when next I need some extra bottles!

 

[531Man]

Next up is Plavusa blonde ale from the Brlog Coop brewery.
No, me neither.
Fresh, moderately hoppy tasty and smooth.
At equivalent of £1.88 I'm happy with it.
I do like the back label reads,
"Crafted by Stubbornness"

 

[Tanglefoot]

Always had a soft spot for Warsteiner after trying it for the first time a few years back working in Hamburg.
Still not brewed a true lager yet, though next brew up is a Steam Pilsener - a repeat of a recipe which worked out well last year though swapping Saaz for Hallertau Mittelfruh.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Bit of a girly cocktail next. Not very nice to be fair.

 

[531Man]

Shady Wizard from Zmajska Pivovara.
Yes, Dragon Brewery.
Apparently their newest collaboration brew using dry N. Z. hopping.
Stand aside, juicy;
Pine aromas coming through!

Husband is having this. He says it’s thin and lacking body.
