What are you drinking tonight 2023.

[Alastair70]

My own Impy Stout to finish the night. It’s been conditioning for just under 3 months and it’s hitting its stride nicely. Lots of dark cherry and raisin from the Special B, the flavours have mellowed and melded noticeably since my first sample a month back. The roasted malts are coming through and it’s a much more pleasant drink.

Guest beer night for me.
First up, ‘5 Meter’ American Amber by @phildo79. Brilliantly clear, generous head that dissipated slowly.
Loads of bready malt and caramel aromas that carry over to the flavour. Nice body, great length of flavour and a slightly off dry finish.
Top brew mate, you’ve really nailed the style . This is a better beer than a lot of the lacklustre commercial examples I tried on holiday last year. Thanks for sharing it, I’d rip through a keg of this in no time.

Would love to take credit for it but that one wasn't from me, mate.

Jim is having my NZ pale which is a cracker, but I hope there's some left for the swap with him about!

I'm having my tripel. How about that for Belgian lace

Two grand looking beers!

My Best Bitter. I’m going to get another batch of this on tomorrow because I’ve given the keg I’ve just put on tap a bit of a hammering yesterday at the family BBQ.

Bit of a European pour on my Festbier

Away camping in France. Bought this at Lidl...found it very easy to drink and doesn't feel like a 6.6% beer. Having googled it, it seems to be brewed especially for Lidl. Don't have a pic of the beer in the glass (went quickly)...though not sure I'd call it a blonde as it was quite amber in colour. Next time there is a Belgium week in Lidl I may have to hunt this down. Interestingly had a leffe ruby last night. Also very nice but not sure I could drink too many of them in one sitting.

Was Belgian a couple of weeks ago but they didn’t have that. They had Bornem blonde which I felt was not as good as Leffe.

@matt76 deserves the credit for the Amber. It arrived while I was on holiday, shortly after a couple from phildo, hence the confusion.

Deepest apologies Matt, glowing review of your very well made beer here What are you drinking tonight 2023.

Brew day done, time to relax in the sun with a Best Bitter.

Pilsner is slowly getting clearer...very slow..even added some gelatine to the keg a couple of days ago and still hasn't dropped clear

It’ll get there in it’s own time. Still looks good though.

First sample of WC Black Lager fermented with NovaLager.

 

[Alastair70]

A very generous patient gave me a pair of these. It’s rather lovely.

I'm on my holidays, but found this very tasty chilli beer at a tiny craft beer shop outside of Assisi

 

[LesTom]

This is a malty masterpiece from the Efes brewery - never thought I'd say that but there you go, I'm pleasantly surprised

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Just back from a pub lunch and decided to put my latest batch of Pirate Pale on tap. It’s only been conditioning for 3 days but hey, that just means it’s fresh doesn’t it?

Not quite crystal clear but certainly not bad for 3 days and the first pint from the keg. Cask-like carbonation too which always makes me happy.

Camping in the sun and just sent two of these badboys downrange (Paulaner Munchner Hell).
