What are you drinking tonight 2022?

It's called a heel in our house+1

Heel of a batch loaf toasted with real butter

And just a little too much butter than usual so it nearly drips off the heel

In Ireland it's called the heel, the crust is the other bit of each slice.

So the 2nd to last slice of bread is the heel?

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Last of the “goodies”, a Four Pure Citrus DIPA. Very tasty and not much of a clue that it’s a strong beer. Nice.

 

[pilgrimhudd]

What yeast did you use

CML 5

And just a little too much butter than usual so it nearly drips off the heel

Not just a little - slices!

Hot crisp toast, cold THICK butter.

I'm completely lost.

No you get two heels on a loaf. One each end

Cut like your cutting cheese

I wasn't sure about this beer intially but it's definitely getting better with age..37days in keg

I am just trying my rye pale as well, it's a beer that I wasn't really enjoying. It's actually not bad, I need to either buy another keg and start a rotation or one needs to kick.

Having another Two Hearted IPA with a fresh palate this time.
Pours a light copper colour, well carbonated with a lacy white head, Centennial is a beautiful hop, and the aroma of pine on pouring is massive. A bit of grapefruit comes through on resmelling.
The taste is big bright bready malts with a just little crystal sweetness to offset the the high bitterness levels. Again, pine and citrus hop character predominates.
It’s got medium body, and hides the 7% ABV really well.

No photo sorry, but if I took one it would look just the same as Sundays.

I don't think we have had the best Centennial in the UK recently. I hadn't been that impressed with my centennial beers...then I tasted Track colab with Cosby hops Centennial DIPA...fantastic beer. Never tasted centennial like it

I have been thinking that some beers just need time and that I needed another fridge for cold conditioning and a couple of extra kegs

I was thinking the same, currently I have 4 kegs. I would like another fridge that could hold at least another 2. Then I could rota to suit what ever mood I am in

Check the date on the cans, if you get a fresh one they lean more to grapefruit and citrus then after a month of so they definitely go malty and piney. It's interesting how much they change.

Entered this in the state comp, I can safely call it a Foreign Extra Stout I thought it was lacking some bitterness but it is definitely there along with the sour taste.
Inspirational Arthur. Thank you.

Even if you buy another keg you’ll still end up waiting for a keg to kick.

…best buy 2

Is that the shop with the giant bottle of whisky? Or did have dhen I went I there nearly 20 years ago.
Went into the shop and there wasn't a shop keeper to be seen..my mate marvelled at the giant whisky bottle and we conferred as to whether it was real...at which I tested the reality of the bottle by dinging my wedding ring on it a few times.. this brought a distraught looking shop keeper out the back like Mr. Ben who kindly asked me not to "do that!".
