What are you drinking tonight 2022?

Basically a strong Dubbel then?

That’s what I was thinking and it’s more on the malt side than the roast side so I’m going with that. It was planned as a dubbel

Down in deep SW. Found this in a local shop. It's very good. Like dark chocolate with a hint of sea salt - though no actual cocoa/chocolate in the beer to my knowledge. Might try this at home. Only criticism is some exuberance on opening that led to some minor gushing.

There was a brewery near me a few years ago that did a selkie stout that used seaweed and was very smooth and tasty.

Look what I found a bottle of in tge shed, bottled in April and I'm chufffed to say that it tastes very good

Now back at the lodge with an AG of mine and realising that I may have been underestimating it.

Tonight's offering while I cook.

Mild!

After my second secret Santa this best bitter. I think I might be pleased when things get back to normal - neighbours round until the early hours last night, pub tomorrow and hopefully lucid enough to see in the new year, 20 guests coming New Year’s Day.

I hope they bring some crates of Skol or something to eke out your supplies!
I have two guests tomorrow night...that's enough.
I've put a kilo of shin beef in a nice marinade of yoghurt, garlic,ginger,tikka spice mix and some other bits. It'll be fried off with whole garam massala,loads of onions,chilli's,more garlic and ginger and put in the slow cooker with curry gravy and some coconut milk.
This will give me loads of time to make onion bhajees and prep mushroom pilau....and drink beer!!

Something different to start. Tastes just as you would expect. Even poured a bit for my sour loving wife.

£9 for a lager ?? Why ?

We went to Le Manoir and that was cheapest drink there! I was driving luckily.

We're they wearing masks and had guns?

American stout by duration. Not my favourite beer by the. Tastes slightly fishy, thought it was their oyster stout but I have had that already

@dave_77 I think you liked this one?

Looks like two days' units in a can!

It's quite something! Fairly sweet though so goes down easy enough. Glad I only have one, mind.

The pale ale with Chevallier, this is the verdant edition and I am finally getting a hint of vanilla. The graininess is settling down some, still minimal maltiness though.

I'm drinking my effort of Tropical Stout - down to my last bottle now. As much as I'm enjoying it, it's made me realise that it's way below the quality of the other efforts received in the Winter Brew And Swap. However.... my spare under-counter fridge is now set up with an inkbird and heat mat, so I now have temperature control which will hopefully produce better beers. Just need decent weather to get a brew on! Cheers everyone!

Picked up in Brussels airport cornet Oaked strong Belgian blonde. The oak flavour is very subtle

where is that? - I have an urgent need to visit (sold to Mrs DOJ as a short getaway break!)

Love the sign about yeast & finings

Forgot to say if she isn’t a beer drinker they do flights of Wines as well
