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!".
At the moment it’s a giant whisky glass. The current owners aren’t shy on giving tastings.
 
A little taste of my 6.5% spruce beer to check that it’s competition ready 😉

Nicely carbonated, fluffy long-lasting head, hazy golden colour, very clean citrusy pine aroma, fresh citrusy flavour with medium bitterness fading to a more prominent pine finish. I think this is ready.

I won’t bore you with the same picture, but I’m having what I had yesterday, the lime, mint and coconut wine stuff.

I’m looking forward to the weekend, as I’m brewing a neipa. Wish me luck 🍀 😂. And it’ll be nice and quiet as the lad has gone to his brothers house tonight and they’re both off to Kendal tomorrow with their girlfriends - so nearly a week of peace and quiet! 🤫
 
Covid cleared now so I'm on a Dark Rock Citra brewed with Kveik. It took 2.5 days to ferment out, cold crashed for 3 days and kegged on Friday. It tasted raw/green on Sunday and Monday but is lovely today.

I'm only drinking the excess above 19L - the full keg will be left for a few more weeks so I have high hopes for it.

Edit - The picture makes it look far darker than it is. It's fairly pale with decent clarity.
