A Bishops Finger and 1698 to start

THRICE-HOPPED AND BOTTLE CONDITIONED, 1698 IS THE CONNOISSEUR'S CHOICE, A BEER TO BE SAVOURED.​

Originally brewed to celebrate the tercentenary of Britain's oldest brewer, 1698 is a characteristically hoppy Kentish ale, and has Protected Geographical Indication, the same unique regional protection afforded to Champagne and Parma Ham.

The ale matures naturally in the bottle and can be enjoyed fresh or allowed to settle for a few months to mellow. The natural effervescence produced by bottle-conditioning – the interaction of yeast and brewing sugars – gives 1698 fine, Champagne-like bubbles that further enhance the fragrance, flavour and overall drinking experience.

A silver medal winner in the Taste of Britain Awards, 1698 has been included in the International Beer Challenge's World's Top 50 Beers and has won a Gold Award from the British Bottlers' Institute.

BISHOPS FINGER​

Bishops Finger Kentish Strong Ale is a connoisseur's beer with excellent credentials and pedigree and is a silver medal-winner in the Daily Telegraph Taste of Britain awards.
It takes its name from the finger-shaped signposts which pointed pilgrims on their way to the tomb of Thomas a Becket in Canterbury and was the first strong ale to be brewed by Shepherd Neame after malt rationing was eased in the late 1950s. It is also one of the UK's oldest bottled beers, brewed since 1958.

Big thanks to @YeastFace for sending me this Irish Red Ale.
It has more roasty notes than my last brew and they’re balanced perfectly with dark caramel malt flavours.
It’s brilliantly clear and a generous fluffy white head lasted til the end of the pint.
Excellent brew, it disappeared far to quickly. I could easily crush a load of these. Cheers mate!

I can see clearly now the rain has gone.

Really like the beers from this brewery. Apparently its a nunnery (or is associated with a nunnery) about an hour outside Munich.

At £1.75 a bottle in tesco this washed down my chicken tandoori kebab and chips nicely

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Home from Folkestone now and having a glass of my German Lager. Although family and friends really like this beer it’s slightly sweeter than I would like. Maybe a little more bitterness will give it better balance.

Many years ago I used to buy a lot of this in lidl and was my introduction into more happier beers.

Thought I would go down memory lane.

That is crystal clear!! What ABV is that?

 

[LesTom]

Rather chuffed with how my Citra IPA has turned out. I'll definitely be buying Citra hops again.

 

[Alastair70]

No.1 son cooked a top notch dinner tonight. It deserved a wine of similar caliber.

 

[Leon103]

I have never had this beer before, and I don't know why

I remember it as being more hoppy. The brewery used to do a version that they called craft but never managed to get any

Is that a cherry beer?

It's kind of given me a flash back to something in France many years ago, pretty sure I have had a cherry beer there but can't recall it for sure...

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

A glass of my Best Bitter. This is nicely conditioned.

I thought you'd had it weeks ago and thought it was ***** but was being polite by not saying anything

Waitrose is your best bet.
