What are you drinking tonight 2023.

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Last one for me tonight.

 

[YeastFace]

Home after a 4 hour walk via 2 pubs. Some "research" into my next brew.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Not drinking yet but I’ve just cleaned my beer lines and swapped out some kegs because we have friends due shortly. She likes lagers, he likes dark beers, I like English ales, and my wife is a bit partial to Imperial stout (as I think might be evident from several of my posts). This is tonight’s menu…

I’ve just been tasting the beers to make sure they’re good to go. They are, this is my last taster, the big 12% imperial.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Ok, so I changed my mind!

Best bitter.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

I absolutely love this beer brand, but it'd be better without the fruit flavour I think.

It's the background beer I like.

It's brewed by Camerons (I think, they seem to change around a bit), who also make their own 4% lager, the inventively named "Camerons Lager". Might not be the same beer of course, but a possibility.

Ooh thanks YF, will look out for that.

I would be surprised if she drank to many lagers above 5.5%...could be lively at yours to tonight

A long awaited tap room opening with lambics Brett stouts and the beers on the board.
Beer heaven on my doorstep.

Gimp Mask, what a name for a beer

Oh is it Otterbank?

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

So we have here a glass of my homemade cherry wine.

There are two demi-johns of it that are chock-full, and they've been sat in the utility room since November last year I think, as we haven't got round to buying another small syphon. The old one is out of use. We also don't have enough bottles with swing top lids. I've given up on corks because I've had a few bottles go bad.

We suck at getting things done, as there's always so many jobs and not enough time. The wine has been up and down the airlock half a dozen times due to the change in temperature. I honestly expected it to be rank, but it's actually pretty nice!

Probably a stupid idea, but we've poured one DJ into a few jugs, and between me, Jim and Georgia (DIL), we are going to see how much of it we can get through tonight. Might get a bit messy lol

Such a shame to let it go off as I think there's 4kg of frozen cherries in it.

Jim has used 500ml of it in his Bolognese he's currently cooking, so that's a good start!

Good job it's Saturday!

It’s Otterbank. Declan Nixon is the brewer. Used to brew for yellow belly (Ireland) but the sour and Brett style is his passion. He has a few barrels of lambic that is waiting on getting tapped.

Looks good John

 

[Donegal john]

An anti imperial stout with local beetroot 10.5%. The beetroot is subtle but the beer is fantastic

 

[IWasStocious]

Enjoying a few early bottles of GEB's Hop On APA from my first AG brew, and a brew of GEB's West Coast IPA is underway.

The APA is still pretty cloudy, but it's very drinkable.

 

[NormanHurst]

Not bad. Strong (ish) pale ale with decent malty backbone.

 

[LesTom]

Yet another fantastic beer from Vocation

 

[Tanglefoot]

Beautiful sunny evening here, been pottering in the garden - picked the
last broad beans, mowed the lawn and painted the dormer.
Getting to the end of this American amber single hopped with Cascade,
kegged six weeks ago.
