What are you drinking tonight 2023.

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Rye IPA. I think I might be getting toward the bottom of this keg now.

 

[samale]

I brewed an imperial stout earlier. Just trying last year's attempt

This is one of the most stunning beers I have ever had, every offering from them has been fantastic. I need to figure out how to make one of these too. West Coast Pilsner.

West coast pilsner, cold IPA must be very similar

 

[Nottsbeer]

Cracked open a Maximator tonight. Was a random selection at a bottle shop....and what a great choice it was. A lovely dopplebock .

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Maybe my last beer for tonight is a glass of my Imperial stout. My wife wanted just a taste in a small glass.

M&S Coronation Ale from Elgoods Brewery. 75cl. 5%. I am rather ambivalent about all the upcoming hullabaloo, but this isn't the beer to get anyone excited about much at all. All British ingredients, natch, but I fear the sovereign hops were chosen more for the back label marketing than the flavour. It is a decent enough beer, but I bet we all could find a better pint on the day.

I can’t wait, the wife is on a jaunt to Greece with her girlfriends, so it’s me n the dogs for a nag free weekend in Wales.

Cycling in the morning, so my second and last beer

 

[Pennine]

The mixed bitter is nice. Don't think I will use Styrian goldings again they are too spicy for me.

This should link to the OG recipe from the brewery. It states 45% both Pale & Pilsner malt + 10% Dextrine. Highland use Saphir on the hotside and Citra / Mosaic dry hop. You could do something similar with a noble hop hotside then whatever West Coast hops coldside? I've used Strata several times and I like it, goes well with Southern Hemisphere hops or the usual Citra / Mosaic. It seems completely open to interpretation.

I might give something similar to this a go tomorrow. I have a yeast cake of Harvest ready. I need to go look at what hops I have.

All the cold IPA's I have had are basically west coast IPA with new world hops. So bitter and hoppy with a neutral yeast. It's just a WCIPA with Citra/mosaic basically.

Now west coast pilsner is kind of like a Italian pilsner with fruity hops. It's not as in your face hoppy but more nuanced and lower bitterness, maybe like a helles base with fruity dry hops. It's very refreshing and drinkable.

Are they similar to the New Zealand Pils ?

 

[grommit]

Bitter, but bittering failed with leftover hops so its just fun to drink(Windsor yeast worked fine)

 

[Pennine]

Are they similar to the New Zealand Pils ?

Yes I would think so, I have only had one before, but think a NZ pils is the same concept with NZ hops. That matches with the bjcp too.

Selection of stuff I've found near our holiday home near Malaga. Gonna try a trip to Trinidad Brewpub in Alhaurin el Grande later today- fingers X"d for some nice, fresh beers!! The Mahou and San Miguel are ok, but the hop flavour seems a bit "synthetic" to me....

 

[dave_77]

Unlabeled ale from Musket Brewery I think... likely out of date..bottled conditioned so tastes fine.Mrs won it in a pub quiz

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Having a couple of pints of mild to start tonight. I’ve had a busy day today - meeting with hotel staff concerning arrangements for our 25th anniversary do, tip run, batch cooking of half a dozen meals, and brewed a beer. Phew! I need this.

 

[phildo79]

To drink all of these would be just too decadent...

 

[phildo79]

But I'll certainly have one!
